Bowled over by a successful 2011
End-of-year and mid-year updates are the norm here at inferno. The partners keep us in the loop when it comes to work, financials, clients, and internal initiatives. And there was plenty to share when we recently gathered to reflect on 2011 and look forward to 2012.
The partners announced the winning team for the inaugural Playing With Fire competition. Three teams were pitted against each other in cook-offs, various games, and a canine costume contest — all while collecting donations for the Mid-South Food Bank. Members of Cap’n Cheese and the Peppa Jacks, lead by partner and creative director Michael Overton, were crowned champions of the yearlong competition. Account Executive Ryan Knoll was recognized for earning the most individual points. See our team logos here.
The first “Above and Beyond” awards were given to Art Director Amy Lind and Senior Writer and Strategist John Hilgart. This peer-nominated recognition program began last year, and an inferno staffer will be recognized biannually for his/her outstanding efforts. Winners receive a beautiful award (pictured with Amy and John, respectively) and an additional vacation day. Congratulations to our deserving Above and Beyond award winners!
After the reviews, accolades, and announcements, we gathered at the Rendezvous for barbecue and beer, followed by bowling at Billy Hardwick’s All Star Lanes to finish out the day. As you’ll see by the smiles in the photo gallery, it was an excellent start to a new year at inferno.
