Work Hard, Play Hard

One of the Webbed Marketing mottos is “work hard, play hard”. Cliché, I know, but very true. One way the entire team likes to “play” is to give back to the community when we can. For example, one of our company benefits is on your birthday, you can choose to have Webbed Marketing donate $100 to your charity of choice or you can take the day and volunteer somewhere.

On Monday afternoon of last week, the entire Webbed Marketing team volunteered at the Mid-Ohio Foodbank downtown on Mound St. It allowed us to come together, help out an instrumental community organization and have a little fun! The Mid-Ohio Foodbank works with grocers, food companies, Ohio farmers, the USDA, and community partners to obtain food and distribute it to more than 500 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, after-school programs, and senior housing sites across central and eastern Ohio. If you’ve never had the opportunity to participate and volunteer, I highly recommend making it a 2009 goal for yourself. The folks at the Mid-Ohio Foodbank deserve a ton credit for having everything organized and down to a system. We had to go through “intense” training before being released in the warehouse to work. I learned all about labels, FDA laws and expiration dates.  I won’t mention who (Bill), but some were questioning if a bag of chips really ever expires!

Even though this post has absolutely nothing to do with Internet Marketing, I wanted to share how our team gets re-energized to serve our customers better. And as Chief Reality Officer at Webbed Marketing, this is number one for me. I’m very proud to be a part of this team.

Check out some of our photos from this great experience.
