Projectline may be known for forward thinking and modernism when it comes to marketing ideas, but deep in our hearts, we are also a little nostalgic for the best of the past. This holds true even when it comes to networking – so last week we let our Facebook Group take a little nap and invited a few hundred people to visit us in person at our Seattle office. In person? I know, say it isn’t so. I met dozens of new friends, reconnected with some familiar faces, and thoroughly enjoyed the “live” experience, reminding me that there is room for both virtual and actual social spaces (speaking of, if you haven’t see it already, you should check out the Meet Up promo video). Have a look at some of the photos from our party here, and, if you attended, leave a comment on our blog and let us know what you thought. If you are looking for info on the organic and biodynamic wines from the wine tasting, you can contact Sara Maxwell Professional Wine Services at saramaxwellwine@yahoo.com.
We know the value of real events, in real time – but wonder how the economy and cost of travel will limit
our ability to afford events in the future (both hosting and attending). If we must reduce our “in-person” interactions, I hope the economic crunch pushes us (marketers) to innovate within online networks and make them a richer substitute for face time. Ideas?
I really enjoyed meeting so many friendly and creative people and seeing your fun office space. I was very energized and inspired. Fabulous mixer!
Great to hear Heather. We love to support local networking and hope do be able to throw this event every year – or maybe more often, using our Bellevue office. Keep in touch!
