September News 2009

BBC Double Whammy!
Here at Comtec we featured on BBC News with two high profile speakers at two separate events on one night; Tony Blair at the Ethnic Oscars and Gordon Brown at the TUC.

Gordon Brown addressed the TUC delegation in Liverpool’s BT Convention Centre on 15th September about the state of the economy. This year’s TUC was held in Liverpool for the first time in over 100 years and this was the 12th consecutive year that Comtec Presentations had held the account.


TUC 2009 - Gordon Brown

This year’s AFL-CIO, the American equivalent to TUC, is running concurrently meaning that the President from the AFL-CIO and General Secretary from TUC have been able to address each other’s delegations across the Atlantic.


At the same time, Comtec were also in London at the GG2 Leadership & Diversity Awards at which Tony Blair spoke about faith and beliefs to the audience who attended the glitzy awards ceremony. The awards were held at Grosvenor House Hotel in the heart of London’s Mayfair.

The awards celebrated the success of diversity and leadership in the UK amongst ethnic minorities. This premier ethnic awards ceremony includes awards ranging from GG2 Man of the year to the Hammer Award recognising individuals that reach a rare position of influence and authority.

What a Week!

What a week?!
We had more than our 15 minutes of fame on Tuesday 15th September.

If you were watching BBC news that evening you would have spotted us in reports from this year’s TUC conference as well as at GG2 Leadership & Diversity awards.

Gordon Brown addressed the TUC delegation in Liverpool’s BT Convention Centre about the state of the economy.

At the same time, we were also in London at the GG2 Leadership & Diversity Awards at which Tony Blair spoke.

The crew are all exhausted and ready for the weekend now.

Unfortunately we lose a few members of the team today – Kay is leaving to have baby number 2 and Nick and Laura are returning to university after their placement year with us.

We wish all three the best of luck and of course we will miss them!!!

Danni's Week...

Danni's Week
Since starting with Comtec I have had many random tasks thrown at me with last week being no exception to this. I’ve been getting quotes for a variety of wacky/wonderful things…porter cabins, mask artwork, trophies. I’ve also had my Bob the Builder hat on, recently discovering what a grommet and a back plug is. By now I believe I have more than earned "Jim’ll Fix It" status.

In other news…I would like to make a lot of people very jealous - for the first time pretty much EVER, me and my partner Anthony have actually won something!! Well, it was more Anthony than me. And no, it’s not a free bag of crisps or £1 on the lottery!! We’ve managed to bag 2 tickets to a world cup game including flights and 3 nights in a 4* hotel!! South Africa, here we come!! I’m not really a football fan but I think I can manage pretending to be considering the circumstances!!

WOOHOO!!

Never mind the b....

Never mind the b....
If you are anything like me you have come back from your Bank Holiday to an inbox full of unsolicited sales emails containing cringe worthy(!) clichés.

Rather than beating them, I decided to join them and have come up with my own for Comtec.

It took me 5 minutes to throw this together, which just goes to show that your average marketer really doesn’t spend much time developing their campaigns.

Enjoy the campaign and remember, if you want to contact us just give us a call on 0161 370 7772!
