Augustus Marketing in Las Vegas!

From October 5 to October 9, our management team took time to relax in Las Vegas, Nevada! This trip was meant to provide relaxation and reward the team for their hard work.


To start the trip off, they attended Circus de Lá, which ended up being their favorite part! Chris shared that the acrobats were the most entertaining part of the show.  

In addition, our management team experienced multiple five star eateries and agreed that the best food they tasted was the short rib and ravioli. Not only did the trip consist of good food, but they also stayed at a top resort where they took time to relax by the pool.

After touring the city it was hard for them to leave Las Vegas; however, we are glad to have them back in the office!

What's happening at Augustus Marketing this week!

This week at Augustus Marketing is going to be filled with excitement! To start things off, Chelsie is receiving a promotion as our newest Junior Partner! 









In addition, on October 7 we will begin wearing pink every Friday in order to spread breast cancer awareness. In the United States, one out of eight women are diagnosed with this disease. It's important to our company to help fight for a cure! 


The last major event occurring within Augustus Marketing this week is a relaxation retreat to Las Vegas, Nevada. The management team will be leaving Wednesday and enjoying themselves throughout the rest of the week!
