Quick background on these lunch sessions: Each month, three or four people are called upon to share either what inspires them or what’s going on in a specific area. So far, I’ve seen some of our creatives talk to what motivates them and share trends and up-and-coming names in art and design; some of our tech team talk to emerging technologies, showing off what they can do and how they’re relevant to our clients; and finally some of our modern media team share the newest ways we can help people find what they’re looking for more easily and get more relevant information in front of them for our clients. Like I said, it has all been very fun to take part in as well as quite inspiring and energizing.
