Masher of the Month – June 2010

If you want high-energy in your promotion, then you should look no further than Agata Madurowicz. Agata joined Mash in September 2009 and since then has contributed hugely to a number of key campaigns for Mash.

When Agata says she is an ‘energetic and proactive’ employee in her personal statement on Moogle – she really means it and we – along with our many partner brands – feel the benefit of it as her performances over the last 8 months have been outstanding.

Agata happily agrees that working on the Rayban Campaign at the Isle of Wight Festival in June was a Mashing highlight to date….you only need to look at her video on the Mash Fan Page on Facebook to see how much she enjoyed that.

Those are the kinds of jobs out there for top and consistent performing Mashers so get involved and give it your all!

Look out for July’s Masher of the Month coming soon!

Masher of the Month – May 2010

We have decided that it isn’t enough to reward our Masher of the Month with the ‘celebrity status’ our blog and facebook give as well as the £100 shopping vouchers…..our new promise to our TOP Monthly Mashers is that they will be our FIRST PORT OF CALL FOR EVERY JOB  in their area for a whole month. They obviously won’t always be free but we want to recognise their outstanding performance by giving them the first opportunity of work for a 1 month period.

First up to walk the Mashing walk of fame….

Rachel Walker joined Mash back in October 2007 and has gone on to deliver campaign after campaign with consummate professionalism and a wonderful smile on the face. Rachel always responds brilliantly to the huge variety of briefs thrown at her and has often accepted ‘last minute changes’ with complete flexibility and positivity.

Rachel is also one of our main ‘npower girls’ and has contributed to the ‘best team yet’ and we’re all looking forward to the remaining 4 Tests from the end of July.

It’s great to have you Mashing Rachel – Well done!

Masher of the Month :: February 2010

Stephanie McWilliams came on board with Mash during the recruitment and selection process for a top whisky brand sampling campaign at the end of last Summer and she really hasn’t looked back.

Hailing from Belfast – her natural charm and professionalism has seen her build a really solid relationship with fellow Brand Ambassadors, Managers and Clients alike.

Well done Stephanie – Happy Spending!!

Masher of the Month :: December

Peter hails from the Southampton area but his enthusiasm for the job and indeed for Mash spreads far and wide.

A real professional who works with a smile on his face and an attitude that really brings the best out of others.

Peter has been with Mash just under a year but in that time has received fantastic feedback throughout his Mash work and in particular for his work in the NHS Choices and Malibu campaigns.

Peter’s passion for all things Mash and his complete professionalism have led to him being recruited as our South Coast Brand Champion so look out for interview dates in the South Coast area soon.

Our Masher of the Month’s also take part in our new charitable initiative we are running here at MASH. For each every job that we win, we are going to be providing an interest free loan to an entrepreneur in need, on our client’s behalf. The way it works is that we provide an interest free loan of $50 to a low-income entrepreneur somewhere in the world, through our friends over at KIVA. You (the Masher of the Month ) choose who to lend to – whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq, and WE provide the loan.

It’s a powerful and sustainable way to empower someone right now to lift themselves out of poverty.

Here’s Pete’s response to the great news…

“Hi Guys,

Thanks so much for making me Masher of the month, it was a lovely surprise.

Big thanks to Andrew, he’s been a great guy to work for on Malibu. Always friendly supportive and understanding, just what an EM needs when their out in the field.

After much deliberation, I’ve decided that Bose Patrick, the nice lady who sells gin in Nigeria should get our money. It seems only right that the gin should flow, while I celebrate.

Good work Pete! Here’s to a cracking 2010.

Masher of the Month :: November

Ali Ali joined Mash in August 2008 and quickly became a consistently top performer in his first ever year in the field. Highlights include:

o Top performer on Thorntons Sept ’08

o Stepped in last minute and travelled all the way to Kent as last minute replacement for Maddie on Virgin trains

o Didn’t make a fuss when we asked him to dress up in some ridiculous costumes.

o Received the following feedback on his first job in a supervisory role (Aviva): “Many thanks for the merchandising staff you supplied for Crystal Palace – all were fantastic but especially the supervisor Ali Ali. I was very busy running around the large stadium, and Ali kept everyone fully informed and under control – a real credit to your agency!”

o Dressed up as Rochdale FC’s mascot Desmond the Dragon

Here’s Ali’s response to the great news…

Good work Ali – here’s to a cracking 2010.

Masher of the Month :: October 2009

Is none other than the mighty Paul Hanson a.k.a. Frog.

Frog has delivered to the highest level all year round and consistently goes that extra mile for us. Not least when recently he stepped in last minute to help avert a bit of a van and stock crisis at some very unsociable hour on the M6.

It really is appreciated by us all here at Mash and this award is in recognition of someone who truly appreciates the teamwork and partnership focus we need throughout our campaigns.

Frog informs us that he has already started work on building a trophy cabinet.

We love a confident Masher…

Mash win Silver at the FMBE Awards.

Mash were out in force at the Annual Field Marketing and Brand Experience Awards at the Marriot Mayfair last night.

We received a ‘highly recommended’ Silver Award once again. We felt we were in with a really strong chance of Gold but no matter, it was still an awesome night and we’re over the moon at the success of this year.

We have delivered over 235 projects this year alone, working with some of the coolest brands on the planet at gigs, festivals and events all over the UK and Europe. We have a lot of work in the pipeline for 2010 already, some of which we will start planning and booking very soon. We’ve also got an awesome new development on the database front and hugely improved interactivity in the new phase of the website.

Lots to come, and lots to celebrate.

The Mash Team at the FMBE Awards.

Not least our Mashers themselves. Without them nothing would be possible and as if to prove this very point – a team of our girls and guys did us immensely proud at the awards last night effortlessly hosting the guests and presenting the awards – with class and professionalism that only Mash can offer!

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead.

Masher of the Month :: September 2009

Congratulations to Vicky Parkinson who has consistently impressed everyone at Mash Towers and team-mates and clients alike through her continued dedication and positive attitude.

n510517955_4149

When interviewed at a top-secret Sheffield hotel, Vicky gave us the following response…”Thats fantastic news! Eeek Im’ so excited and it is so nice to be rewarded for my efforts, thanks to all the team!”

…and in response to our seasoned questions put to our top Mashers…

You know me as a Masher but in another life I would have been….. a sportsperson, I love sport, so it would have to be a sky sports news reporter, a professional golfer, playing centre midfield for Sheffield United (!?!) or a super hero, banana man was always my favourite.

Im not a politician but if I was….there are far too any things to comment on! Well, I would scrap higher education fees, lower the price of petrol, introduce more sport into schools, scrap the obvious taxes, grant everyone 3 genie-esque wishes and many other controversial things!

In a nutshell,my philosophy is….”The world always look brighter from behind a smile!”

With regard to work – “Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day and of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.”

Masher of the Month :: July 2009

July’s winner of the coveted prize is Martine George who is based in Leicester and has produced a string of fantastic performances over the last few months and over the 3 years she has been a true and loyal Masher.

Masher of the Month :: July 2009 :: Martine George

Masher of the Month :: July 2009 :: Martine George

Recent highlights include; consistently great work on Anchor (praised by some hugely influential clients at RAF Waddington (Lincoln) and Lambeth County Show!) and Samsung Jet.  Martine managed to work consistent 12.5 hour days in Canary Wharf then drove up to Derby immediately after to do 12 hr days on consecutive days.

All with a fantastic smile on her face. A worthy winner – well done!
