Augustus Marketing Travels to Scottsdale, Arizona

Last week Augustus Marketing Top Junior Partner, Pat White, had the opportunity to travel to a warmer climate to learn more about team building, training techniques, and improving mentor relationships.

Pat traveled to Scottsdale, Arizona for the weekend to attend a networking event and explore Scottsdale as a reward for his recent accomplishments and hard work.

At the training event, Pat got to spin the wheel in a Wheel Of Fortune themed game and even won a cash prize.

"My favorite part of the trip was being surrounded by ambitious individuals." -Pat

    

Pat's visit not only helped him improve his professional career goals, but he also had fun and got to network himself with other young professionals during his trip.

AMI in the Shoe for Ohio State vs Michigan!!

The setting is Game Day.  The Day of the Ohio State v Michigan game.  If you have never been on the Ohio State University Campus on this day it is seriously crazier than anything you will ever experience and should be on your bucket list.  This year the game and atmosphere were especially intense due to the importance of the game with Ohio State ranked 2 and Michigan ranked 3 in the national polls.  Scarlet and Gray is everywhere and the cheering of Buckeye fans echo throughout the entire city! Once in the stadium you can feel the passion for the buckeyes and hear nothing over the fans' screams during the game.

Our CEO, Chris was lucky enough to get two tickets to this game and Pat earned himself the second ticket by setting the pace and working hard in the office.  Chris, born outside of Boston is living in the city of Columbus for the first time this year and experiencing his first Columbus Buckeye season. Although to be honest, his grandmother did attend The Ohio State University so he had some knowledge of the level of passion Buckeye fans have and it was one of the reasons he choose to open his business in the great city of Columbus!  But, to attend THE GAME and experience it first hand is indescribable. Not born, not raised, but now a Buckeye fan at heart.

We all know at this point how the game turned out; the double overtime win was the best game, in my completely biased opinion, to be watched in years!  

Congrats to Pat on earning the ticket and the experience of a lifetime.  Experiences like this are why we love our city, the Buckeyes, and work so hard to take care of our team here at AMI!

How Firm Thy Friendship O-HI-O!

Augustus Marketing takes Texas for the National Conference!

In the midst of summer it was time for our annual national conference! As always we had great speakers, workshops, and set some amazing new goals for this upcoming quarter to finish the year strong! BUT, while in the Lone Star State we had some fun too!

Our work hard, play hard mentality is something we truly do live so even though we enjoy what we do we like to take some time to get away. While in Texas we attended a Texas Rangers game and enjoyed a lot of Mexican food! The Augustus Team also attended a Club "Mayhem" party thrown by one of clients for the great numbers we put up in the month of May and an entertaining awards dinner with fantastic food!

We were sad to head home but excited to get back and continue to grow and apply what we learned from the the top tier speakers.
