So, you started a Facebook page, eh?

Custom October 17 Media Facebook Page Screen Shot
So, you started a facebook page, eh? That’s nice.

No seriously. I bet you created the fan page and invited every single person you know on Facebook to join, added the button to your web site, blog and e-newsletter, and then left it idle. No one is going to visit your page if you don’t actually use it!

The 2nd annual October 17 Media Birthday Pary!

Monday, October 19th, 2009

First, we want to take a minute to thank EVERYONE who came out to our 2nd annual October 17 Media birthday party at Ceili’s Irish Pub on Thursday night!

We had over 50 people stop by to give us their best wishes and we really had a great time! You can check out the birthday invitation blog post here. Are you wondering who the heck is October 17 Media and where the name came from?

We’d also really like to humbly thank Ceili’s Pub for hosting us and providing some great refreshments. The staff was wonderful… you guys rock!

Here are a few photographs (on Flickr) of our crew setting up (meet the October 17 media team on our profile page), making cupcakes (the oh-so-delicious Oct 17 cup cake army!) and our attendees socializing at the festivities. Please consider this an open invite for next year’s anniversary/birthday party #3!

Here’s Brenda Cadman icing 60 of the October 17 Media Cupcakes! She created a cupcake army for our company’s birthday party:

PS. Just an FYI but the October 17 Media birthday party was promoted entirely ONLINE! Yep… just a cool fact I thought we’d share.
