The 2nd annual October 17 Media Birthday Pary!

Posted on by Tamara Brooks

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.

Birthday Marketing Cupcake

It’s no secret that our company is named after its birthday. We *LOVE* birthdays at October17media.

Everyone who works here gets the day off on their special day. Heck, even October 17’s two owners can often be found doing some quality shopping to celebrate. Why do women shop to celebrate? Yes, we know it bewilders men everywhere and makes perfect sense to women. Shopping gives you immediate gratification. The sort of gratification one wants on their birthday. Pretty much everyone looks forward to their birthday. Yes, I know some people claim otherwise as the years start to mount, but truthfully it’s a time to commemorate the years past.

So what does all this birthday talk have to do with Marketing? So glad you asked. Birthdays open the door to Marketers everywhere and allow them to reach out to their new, current and potential clients. They can send the typical ‘Happy Birthday Message’ to keep in touch but what about the opportunity of a once-a-year promotion? A special offer that you can only take advantage of on your birthday, or birthday week or birthday month.
