The Atom Client Day in association with Hearst Magazines last Friday at the Good Housekeeping Institute was a huge success! After a quick practice with the software we were to use during our presentations (and a cup of tea, of course) we greeted our clients at the door with champagne and canapés whilst everybody got introduced. We were welcomed by Jude Secombe, Publishing Director of Hearst’s Lifestyle Group, who gave us a short presentation on the changes at Hearst. We then moved through to the restaurant and enjoyed further presentations from House Beautiful and participated in a quiz game hosted by Country Living.
After a lovely lunch and a chance to chat with various members of the editorial team at Hearst, the Atom Account Managers took to the stage to talk about the imminent launch of our new exciting website. Hannah gave everybody a sneak preview of the new site (which is set to launch Tuesday 18th Oct!) and walked us through the added functions such as the image reference search facility and light-box feature on our image library, allowing you to select images as you go and download them all at the end, much like an online ‘shopping cart’. Sara then discussed the fantastic new blog, which (as you know), is being updated regularly to inform you of all the news from us. Last but not least, Daisy gave everybody a run down of the new Atom twitter account (@Atommpr).
Soon after this and a brief thank you from Roger Illsley, Atom’s MD, it was time to depart from the GHI and take the short walk to The Source Below bar where the drinking and karaoke commenced with all attendees in tow. There we were joined by further media seniors from IPC, Conde Nast and BBC Magazines. The singing was, surprisingly, at a very high standard! Special mentions go to Zoe from BBC, Shakil from House Beautiful and of course our very own singing sensation, Roger.
The day (and night) was absolutely wonderful, and it seems that was the consensus all round as the phones have been ringing off the hook this week with thank-yous and reminiscent stories of the day. It was great to see all the clients that were able to attend and to those who couldn’t make it, we’ll have to catch up next time… Christmas is soon, right?
A big thank you to everybody that made the day such a hit.
