When the clock struck midnight on January 1, our celebrations of a new year looked very different from years past. Brightly lit rooms and crowds of friends toasting to exciting beginnings were traded for coffee mugs of champagne and Zoom waiting rooms. This ball drop inspired more reflection than any in recent memory. So, we felt it was important to spend time appreciating 2020 accomplishments while we also shift our focus to executing on goals for the new year.
In March the world experienced the biggest disruption to our daily lives in a generation. It can be easy to forget anything that happened this year before the shut downs and toilet paper shortages. Here at Voom CreativeTM, the weeks before the pandemic were spent welcoming the first of two new hires this year to the team. Senior Designer Colin Hall made his Voom debut in early March. His keen eye for design, creative problem solving and passion to deliver high quality work have been tremendous additions for Voom and our clients. Also joining the Voom team more recently is Business Development Manager Adam McGath. With decades of experience, Adam has embodied the Voom quality of hitting the ground running and helping our team from day one. We could not be happier with both of our new teammates and are incredibly excited to see their impact in 2021 and beyond.
As the business landscape changed, Voom joined thousands of companies staying at home and doing all we could to limit the spread of COVID-19. More than 10 months of our new normal have gone by and we are still trading conference rooms for video conferences, but that hasn’t slowed us down. We have been honored to help our clients, new and old, navigate this uncertain time. We even picked up a few awards and recognitions along the way. We have integrated new software and adapted our processes to ensure no quality is lost while we are away from the office. We redesigned our website to increase its functionality, and simultaneously launched a monthly newsletter to keep our clients more informed.
2020 provided no shortage of challenges, but it also reminded us what is most important. All of our hearts go out to those who lost someone to COVID-19 and to those on the front lines working unthinkable hours fighting for their communities. Happy New Year from all of us at Voom Creative. Here’s to a happy and healthy 2021.
