Celebrating 1,000 days at Nous 🥳
This morning I was reminded that today is my 1,000th day working at Nous.
My first reaction? Woaah that’s a lot of time spent staring at one laptop. And I’m slightly concerned about how many cups of tea that adds up to.
But… I’ve also been thinking about everything that’s happened since I joined.
And I realised it’s pretty damn impressive what we’ve accomplished so far!
So in honour of my Nous millennium (what do you mean that’s not a thing??), here are a few things I’ve learned:
⭐ If you ask Lydia to be in a TikTok video it will go viral 99% of the time
⭐ Sending a customer a hand-written thank you note is totally worth the effort
⭐ Energy, mobile and broadband providers use some real crafty comms to get us all to pay more
⭐ Unintentionally enormous oven gloves make great company merch
⭐ It’s not the end of the world if you accidentally email every customer saying “Hi Paul”
⭐ Nothing will ever make me sweat more than pressing “send newsletter” to our biggest email list
⭐ Going a little bit viral does (annoyingly) give you a great dopamine hit
⭐ Banging a gong to celebrate wins in the team, no matter how big or small, will genuinely make everyone smile
⭐ Someone will always laugh at your puns (even the really, really terrible ones)
⭐ 9 out of 10 people really are overpaying on their bills
⭐ There will always be someone on Facebook who says your product sucks
⭐ It’s impossible to leave work on a Friday without saying ‘what a week’
⭐ Working with people you can genuinely call your friends is the absolute best
The one thing I’m yet to learn..?
How to use our coffee machine. That thing still scares the crap out of me.
