Thorn Baker Group’s Post

Some new work for Company of Cooks and this really highlights some of the reasons I love working with them: 1. They’re brave. Company of Cooks always pushes us to raise the bar and deliver even better work. While others in their industry might stick to the usual playbook, they embrace bold ideas that set them apart. 2. They’re action-oriented. Instead of just talking about culture and impact, they live it. I'm a big believer in showing, not telling. Like in this video – we could’ve gone the easy route with a scripted piece hitting buzzwords, but what’s more authentic than just letting their staff chat (over a few drinks!)? 3. They value quality. Great production value matters and this video looks incredible. That’s no accident – it’s what happens when a company sees the value in investing in high-quality content. We’ve become Company of Cooks' trusted video partner, meaning we truly know their business, their people, and their values, which results in better work.

Teams that play together, stay together. Or something. Well, we believe away days are a great opportunity to connect and deepen working relationships. Ostensibly that’s the purpose of the annual PLOTT summer day out. But also laughter, silliness, bonding and, um … cocktails? This year's destination was lovely Manchester, with a trip to The Cube (as seen on TV) at Urban Playground UK. If you've not seen it, it's a series of challenges set inside a glass cube. Each task involves either problem-solving, concentration, or memory skills. And a good deal of laughter. Isn’t this just what the PLOTT team does every day? Yes, but with cocktails. After all that hard work, it was only right to top it off with Brunch at Turtle Bay. And more cocktails. And more laughter. We’re a happy bunch. In the end our business is all about teamwork. And we love to show them how much their efforts are appreciated. #TeamWork #BrandingWithBalls #BottomlessBrunch

BBQ & Bonds: Building a Stronger SRP Team!🍔🌭 What’s better than a summer BBQ? A summer BBQ that brings our SRP team closer together! 🎉 Last week, we traded our workstations for picnic tables and enjoyed a day filled with delicious food, engaging games, and wonderful camaraderie. Why Team Building Matters: • Strengthening Relationships: When we connect outside the office, we build trust and collaboration. • Fostering Creativity: A relaxed environment sparks new ideas and innovative thinking. • Boosting Morale: Fun experiences remind us that we’re not just colleagues, but a family. We also used the occasion to acknowledge and celebrate our E2 Employees who have significantly exceeded expectations. Their exceptional dedication and hard work were formally recognized, enhancing the overall sense of pride and motivation within our team. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to the success of our BBQ! Let’s carry this positive energy into our projects and continue to support one another. Here’s to many more adventures together! 🌟 #TeamBuilding #SRPFamily #SummerFun #Collaboration #EmployeeRecognition  

Bay Leaves and Your Career Has anyone ever come across Bay Leaves in a dish and wondered to yourself, "Why the heck are these leaves in here??" They don't really smell like anything. They don't seem to taste like anything. You don't eat them. You end up just taking them out, setting them on the nearest napkin, and moving on with your life. So, why?? Many believe that their purpose lies in their ability to enhance all of the prominent flavors in the dish. They are there to add depth to the flavor profiles. Some even say that there is clearly something missing when they're not there. And this all got me thinking... Who are the Bay Leaves at your company? Who are the ones who might go somewhat unseen, but you would sure as heck miss them if they weren't there? Who are the ones who might not be as prominent, but they add depth to the company and culture as a whole? Who are the ones who might not be in the spotlight, but they enhance the flavor of everyone around them? I think it's crucial to understand that some folks are Bay Leaves. And if they weren't there, something would clearly be missing. So, make sure and keep an eye out for the Bay Leaves. And when you notice them, make sure and celebrate the heck out of them. Aint nothing wrong with being a Bay Leaf. #keynotespeaker #keynote #motivationalspeaker #motivational #culture #culturematters #culturebuilding #cultureshift #cultureofexcellence

REPOST: The Case for Eating Lunch With Your Colleagues, in The New York Times. “That spirit of connectedness and communication flourishes during mealtime, as colleagues share lunch or dinner and chat about work — or not.” We couldn’t agree more!
