Hello all, it's my very first post. I must say I am not a seasoned blogger, but it's about time I start trying. I'm getting back into the swing of things, being out of town, starting my internship and classes. Google reader has been screaming at me to be read.
Since starting my new internship at Hunt Akins, I've been thinking a lot about employee morale, and how it is often overlooked. People here are happy. They stay past 5 without complaining. They don't make their interns plant dead grass. Zappos has harnessed it's happy employee power and published a book about it. In today's AdAge there was an article on how Zappos has been using their employees to build their brand. This goes beyond "happy employees make productive employees".
Think about how often you read an article about social networking, WOM marketing and brand ambassadors. You've got free ones working for you. People who are on Facebook, gabbing with friends and sharing their fav brands with each other are also employees. Especially in this biz (the ad biz yo) networking and connections are essential. Everyone is a potential client and customer. If you are constantly chatting up your company (or bad mouthing it) people will take notice.
It's good to be here kids

I, for one, LOVE to plant dead grass. It's basically my life's calling.
