Up, up, and awayyyyy...
Wow...its been a long time since my last post. I have to admit that my last post was rather boastful and an underestimate on how much work our office expansion and new hires were going to be. Its surely taken longer than i would have liked, but things are finally coming together. Here's the latest around the Fuze base camp...
We have a bunch of new people around...they are all settling into their new roles. We have also expanded our office, adding an additional 2000 square feet of office, conference, and casual space to our current digs. This will not only impress upon our clients our sense of style, but also provide a much larger venue for our many summer events. As part of this expansion, we have added all new networks, backup systems, project management systems, and accounting systems. Our effort here is to be better positioned in the future for our growth and not be playing catchup again in another year or so. Photos of the new space are coming soon, and a grand re-opening party plan is festering.
Client wise, we have parted ways with a couple very long term clients DP Partners, and EDAWN. After 7+ years of service, we are moving on and we wish these great clients the best of luck in the future. In their place we have added several high-profile national clients which we will be announcing soon (though we have begun work on their projects already). Client wise, things are looking really good as we continue to fine tune our client base and target creative/interactive projects. Well, that's a recap of Q1 and what a race its been. As we enter Q2 I am hading off on a whirlwind of travel all over the US. If you're wondering where in the world I'll be...here you go:

Take that jet-setters. I'll be living quite handily out of a suitcase for the next few weeks. Come May, I hope to keep my feet on the ground and get back to some resemblance of normal life. In the meantime, no rest for the weary. If you plan to be in any of these great cities while I am, drop me a line. My Plazes account typically tells people where I am.
Ba-ba boey to y'all...
