Throughout the summer months we will be welcoming two new faces into the office Rob Harriman and Alasdair Bell who are both on 12 week placements from DMU.
Rob is a post graduate who will be working on competitor research and strategic analysis which of course involves him first becoming familiar with who we are and what we do. With a portfolio that includes Event design, production and management, Experiential marketing, Venue find, logistics and management, Incentive travel and motivation, PR, marketing and advertising, Web and new media, Design, Photography, Film, video and audio and Writing services there will be lots for Rob to work on and we look forward to his conclusions.
Alasdair is currently studying Business and Human Resource Management and will be working with Joanne and Nina to identify which sectors of the post recession economy will be most appreciative of The Phoenix Partners services and working to create bespoke solutions for those areas.

Standing out from the crowd
Here at The Phoenix Partners we have rarely been content to run with the crowd and we are always looking for ways to make a lasting impression at pitch time. So we made a film.
So there we were, the excited, the intrigued and the press ganged, behind a petrol station on a spectacularly sunny Sunday giving it our all. Hamming tirelessly under the direction of Rachel Ford Coppola to try and firmly implant The Phoenix Partners in the minds of prospective clients.
There had been quite a buzz in the office as we all visualised ourselves in our Winnebago’s - working on our riders - for the glamorous career that was sure to follow, and I can assure you that glamour is definitely the word.
With off screen highlights that included Marks debut in the (non speaking) role of petrol pump and Rogers ‘doh - nearly!’ attempt at squashing Rachel’s leg under the wheels of his car there would definitely been a market for ‘The filming of…..’
As for the success of the film itself, we have to wait and see.

Out of Office
As you may be aware The Phoenix Partners can occasionally be seen ‘out of office’ enjoying a plethora of curry related occasions and it was just such an occasion that has inspired this week’s blog.
The event in question was the Barnados Curry & Quiz Night at Mehmans Restaurant in Rushey Mead an event which we had attended last year. I think a little background would help you here – last year we went along for curry and to enjoy our little selves and, by a process which we did not quite comprehend at the time, managed to win the quiz.
So what does one do when invited back? The pressure to retain our title was there – almost overshadowing the curry consumption opportunity – an entirely new experience for most of us. But what the heck, a good curry is always worth a little embarrassment, so off we went.
A great night was had by all, fantastic curry and the sort of laughter that counts as exercise, and to paraphrase ABBA – So We Win Again.
