Hummingbird’s FLIGHT 15 Party took flight!

21May10

Last night, clients, colleagues, friends and family joined us at the Hummingbird office for our 15th Anniversary party. It was a fantastic party with great food and beverages catered by Rocky Top Hospitality. Draughon Cranford of Xpress Image helped with giveaways and entertainment by helping me perform the In-Flight Safety Demonstration skit. Check out photos of the event on our Facebook Page at http://www.facebook.com/HummingbirdCreative. Thanks so much to everyone who joined us to celebrate!

Here’s a script of the skit:

Welcome aboard and thanks for flying Hummingbird Creative Group FLIGHT 15.

 

Since 1995, Hummingbird has been committed to helping brands take flight, so it’s important for you to pay close attention even if you are a frequent flyer.

 

All carry on items including old collateral that does not reflect your brand should be stored securely in an overhead bin, or better yet, thrown out the emergency exit at your earliest convenience.

 

Once airborne, crew members will share some tips on building a better brand. Please note that some items such as ineffective messaging may not be used in flight at any time.

 

If you’re experiencing a brand emergency, please ask a crew member to review branding processes with you.

 

If you are unable or prefer not to perform marketing functions, Hummingbird’s crew will be happy to serve as your outsourced branding department.

 

As we leave the gate, make sure your seatbelt is fastened. To fasten, insert the metal tip into the buckle and adjust the strap so it’s low and tight across your lap. You should keep your seatbelt fastened during flight as you are sure to experience a brain storm.

 

For everyone’s safety, branding regulations require all passengers to comply with any crew member instructions.

 

Inconsistent graphics are not allowed on FLIGHT 15, and federal law prohibits tampering with or destroying brand standards.

 

Please take a moment to find your baggage claim ticket, and remember we’ll be drawing the baggage claim numbers for door prizes throughout the flight.

 

After 15 years, it’s unlikely, but if you don’t currently work with Hummingbird, the panel above your seat will open revealing oxygen masks. If this happens, reach up and pull a mask toward you until the tube is fully extended. Place the mask over your nose and mouth, slip the elastic strap over your head and adjust the mask if necessary.

 

Breathe normally and know that Hummingbird can help. Be sure to adjust your own mask before helping others.

 

Now, before we take off, be sure your seatbacks and tray tables are in an upright and locked position and all carry on items are properly stowed.

 

As we come through the cabin for our final brand safety check, please let us know if you have any questions.

 

And finally, now would be a good time for everyone to review the food and beverage offerings from Rocky Top Catering.

 

Thanks for your attention. Enjoy Hummingbird Creative Group FLIGHT 15!

LinkedIn Company Profiles

14May10

I’ve had a lot of people in the last several months congratulate me on “my new job” or ask me what’s up with my LinkedIn Profile that I’m listed as Brand Manager for several of my clients’ companies. Well, this is part of Hummingbird Creative Group’s new Social Media service offerings, which include Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and other online marketing training and maintenance!

You see, the only way that we can setup or edit one of our client’s LinkedIn profiles is to be listed with a title with their company and have an email address at their URL.

I’m very excited about our new offerings such as this! In the past 6 months, we’ve setup a majority of our clients with their own company pages on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and helped them grow their follower base on each. Some examples include Stockton Graham & Co., CoffeeshopDepot, Southeastern Emergency Equipment, Pennington Law Firm, Medical Business Associates, Raleigh Radiology and Progressive Benefit Solutions. 

Social media is giving our clients a way to create a community for their customers and better communicate their news, events, promotions and announcements!
