On Wednesday it was time for the kids to get festive at the M&C Saatchi / Mark Children’s Christmas Party. There were party pies, proud parents, face painting, pick and mix, and a portly grey-haired man in a red suit.
The highlight of the party had to be the special appearance of DJ Lance from Yo Gabba Gabba! It was like every single Christmas arrived at once… and was dressed in orange.
The sugar-highs have faded, but the memories remain.
Oh to be a kid again….
Thursday was a sad day for the agency, when with a few strokes of a razor, our glorious mustachioed men of Mark joined the ranks of their fellow mortals once again.
Sporting haired lips that would make Joaquin Phoenix proud, they managed to raise a huge $3,808 for men's health, which for those of you who love a case study is 26% above target and a staggering 3,808% ROI.
Some impressive figures from some impressive moustaches.
Well done men.
The M&C Saatchi Group Christmas party was awash with margaritas and marauding mock-Mexicans last week as we celebrated Tijuana-style.
The theme was Mexican Day of the Dead and the result was something that Tarantino would be proud of with blood, make-up and questionable dance moves in spades.
From what we can recall, it was a night to remember.
The photographic evidence certainly suggests so.
On Monday, our wonderful resident chef, Lu, made an extra special batch of cupcakes that were sold to raise money for the RSPCA. For such a good cause, it was certainly easy to justify a cheeky afternoon snack. Charity never tasted so good.
We had another installment of our regular Mark team outings last Wednesday night, and this time it was off to the Middle East for a Lebanese banquet. We dined, and we danced, with no one spared from having to exhibit the flexibility of their mid-region. Special mention must go to Amy Friedlander who had some serious skills thanks to a few tips she picked up at her hens party, and Rob Concepcion who invented a whole new genre of “Contemporary Belly Expression”. What a talented bunch.
