The photo above is a shot of our new office in progress; doesn’t look like much now, but give us a few weeks.  =)

Stay tuned!

As we wrap-up (no pun intended) our 25 Days of ZING: Holiday Season Giving Challenge we want to thank everyone who has dropped us notes, phone calls and feedback.

We had a great time giving gifts of all shapes and sizes, to friends and strangers, free and paid ones. We exceeded our goal of at least 25 gifts as every gift given by team members was not mentioned on the blog.

At times the gifts we gave that day didn’t seem “big” enough. But its those “small” gifts like saying hello to a stranger, opening the door for someone or giving your spare change to someone in need that at times gets the biggest reaction. Its a smile or look of surprise that lets you know they genuinely appreciate your efforts.

That being said, our final gift comes from Creative Zing’s president and leader (we aren’t allowed to use the “B” word…not THAT one, BOSS!), Pamela Aniello. She so graciously is “closing up shop” Christmas Eve through January 4 so every Zinger can enjoy time with their family, friends and loves ones. We’ll all still be available remotely via email and cell phone for any immediate needs, but you’ll get a nice voicemail if you call the office through January 3, 2010.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We’ll see you in 2010! =)

For today’s gift, the entire Creative Zing team wanted to provide our clients, family and friends a good laugh.

If you haven’t already done this yourself, OfficeMax has a hilarious website application called ElfYourself that allows everyone to turn into a Christmas elf with a choreographed dance routine.

Enjoy!

Today was the annual Creative Zing Christmas party. The Orlando-based team set out for a delicious lunch at K Restaurant and concluded with a Secret Santa gift exchange. We even had a past honorary Zinger join us for the festivities!

As a team we were able to celebrate the year we have shared, the clients we have partnered with and the promotions we have had the privilege of working on in 2009.

We’re excited to see what 2010 has in store!
