Congratulations to Mediacom from Shiv & Jo (suffering slightly after Paddy's Day....!)

"People First, Better Results". Not just a 'strapline' for one of our favourite Communications Planning & Buying Client's Mediacom who, for the fourth successive year have been named one of the Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to work for!!


With an overall positive score of 84% with particular emphasis on the strength of the teamwork ethic, staff confidence in eachother's abilities and having fun at work, they were yet again the highest ranked company from the entire media and advertising sectors.
Key to their success is the 'If I ran the company' initiative where the entire workforce gives presentations to management about what they would do if they were the Big Chief! The best ideas are then implemented which include free breakfast and fruit and the ever popular company bar!
In a unswerving effort to make the company full of interested and interesting people, they offer a diverse range of 'Fresh Learning' grants where employees are actively encouraged to learn something new whether it be japanese, photography or trekking Mount Kilimanjaro...

Spring has finally arrived and Shiv & I are bouncing into the season feeling rejuvenated and positive. So much so that we have just signed up to a 5 day, 70 mile charity walk next month - we must be mad!

We are currently recruiting for the following position - please do get in touch if you are interested in learning more.......

Hatty Blue firmly believes that the best things really do come in small packages –diamond rings, boutique hotels, stylish sports cars, slick mobile phones… Our thoughts were confirmed yesterday when we discovered one of our clients, PR agency Trimedia, listed amongst The Sunday Times Top 100 Small Companies to Work For. We weren’t surprised that they’d made it into the list, but were even more impressed when we saw the small print – 88% of staff are confident in their management team, 84% find the management inspirational, 81% find their work stimulating, and 76% agree that Trimedia supports the wider world, with their UK-wide green company policy. Congratulations Trimedia – it’s well deserved.

It’s been a week of celebrations for the The Hatty Blue team, as we’ve travelled around London delivering bottles of bubbly to winners of our Oscars competition for clients. The teary acceptance speeches made the whole thing worthwhile...
