And that's a wrap! 🎉 It's always a boost of energy when colleagues visit our New York HQ! 🌟 This past week, we had the pleasure of hosting Jessica Funcannon & David Smith as we gear up for an exciting fall and ramp up our go-to-market organization. There were too many great memories to count, but here are a few standout moments from their visit: ✨ Strategic client engagement sessions — including a fun field trip to Grand Central to brainstorm and test new ideas ✨ Experiencing NYC's vibrant food & drink scene - channeling mad men vibes at Albert's Bar and then venturing out to enjoy some outstanding Thai food ✨ Attending NextUp’s Annual NY Metro event at the stunning Liberty House — an evening filled with (Bingo) networking, learning from inspirational women, and soaking in wisdom from disruptors in the industry. Already looking forward to your next visit, Jess and David! Until next time! 🙌

Excited to kick off the fall season with NextUp's Annual NY Metro Learning Event at the beautiful Liberty House in Jersey City, NJ! It will be a fantastic evening of networking, happy hour/dinner, and a VIP panel discussion—all set against one of the best views of the New York City skyline. It's the perfect opportunity to reconnect with clients, catch up with colleagues, and meet new faces. Can’t wait to see you there! Event Description "This year our panel is going to dive into the buzzy word DISRUPTION. Featuring Sabrina Niland (VP of Innovation at BODYARMOR Sports Nutrition), Segolene Prot (SVP and Chief People Officer at The HEINEKEN Company), Haidé Villuendas (RVP NE PepsiCo's Frito-Lay Field Supply Chain), and Ayo Jimoh (Chief Product Officer at Fetch), panelists will share fascinating times they have bravely disrupted organizations, categories, and even the way we shop."

Did you know that when customers feel connected to brands, more than half of consumers (57%) will increase their spending with that brand and 76% will buy from them over a competitor. Building brand connections through fun experiences is core to what we do. This summer, our community members went nuts at their local convenience stores trying out f'real shakes and smoothies—their photos and reviews gave us the chilllllls 😎 One member wrote: "I took my teenage son to Holiday Oil and he chose to get a Reese’s peanut butter f’real milkshake. It was a pretty easy process; you choose a milkshake from the freezer, take off the lid, and put it in the cup holder. Then, on the screen you choose how you want your shake (thin, regular, or thick). My son choose thick. It took about a minute to mix the shake. He said it was delicious and wants to go back tomorrow with friends to try the other flavors. This is a fun and tasty way to spend time with family and friends! We will definitely be going back and recommend f’real to other milkshake lovers." Thank you for your incredible partnership, Kaylee Filighera - we look forward to future opportunities to support your goals! cc Steve Krucher Kimberly Havraniak Shiyam Prasad Ranganathan
