As the days become shorter and nights become colder, we’d thought we would reflect on Bigwave’s summer. From winning the rounders league to creating an Instagram account, catch up with our achievements over the past couple of months…
June
Michelmore’s 5k Charity Run
Some of team Bigwave took part in the Michelmores 5k charity run, the run managed to raise £25,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Exeter Business Games
With our very own Debbi organising the events, Bigwave managed to take part in some of the team building activities. Find out more about the power of team building here.
Throughout the summer, we’ve had to say goodbye to our placement student Rosie, but have said hello to the new junior digital account manager Abbie for the next year. We’ve also had a number of interns join us this summer for 4-6 weeks.
July
Workplace Rounders
At the beginning of summer, Active Devon held a rounder’s tournament for businesses in Exeter for 6 weeks, a group of Bigwaver’s entered and the rest is history. Bigwave won the league with creative director Lee scoring 6 rounders in one round!
Recommended Agency Register
We are pleased to announce that Bigwave Media have been placed on the Recommended Agency Register for the second year in a row! We’re delighted to be included in the register, our business would be nothing without our clients so it means a huge amount to be so highly rated by them.
New Instagram Account
Yes that’s right, Bigwave now have an Instagram account and will be posting ‘behind the scenes’ of Bigwave. To find out what the fuss is about follow us on @bigwaveagency.
August
2,500 Twitter Followers
During August we hit a milestone of 2,500 Twitter followers, we would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you! If you don’t follow us… you can do here.
Hack 2015
Staff training days can be tedious so here at Bigwave, we’ve taken a different approach to engage all members of staff- Hack 2015. This is an apprentice style training day with members from all departments split into groups and handed a task. This year it took the form of the Biscuit Elections 2015- where the groups had to prove why their biscuit was the best. Find out more in our Hack 2015 Blog post.
Ping Pong Championship
During the end of June active Devon generously gifted Bigwave a Ping Pong set, with a meeting table to spare, this was set up in a couple of minutes. The annual Bigwave Ping Pong tournament was soon set up, everyone in the office had the chance to play. Several rounds later and the final got narrowed down to two people… Business manager Chris and Graphic Designer Jeff. To find out who won? keep an eye out on our YouTube channel.
So that was our Summer of Fun here at Bigwave, we would love to here what you did over summer, simply tweet us @bigwavemedia.
