Masher of the Month – October 2010

October 15th, 2010   By   Filed Under: Masher of the Month

Alastair Watson

Alastair is a real pleasure to work together with. He has a versatility and positivity that enhances every interaction from the very first phone call, through managing the team in the field to closing off the final reports on the job. The phrase “can-do attitude” is over-used in this industry but in Alastair – it encompasses everything he does. A worthy Masher of the Month”

The Mash Team – Oct 2010.

and here is the reaction from Alastair himself…

“Oh my God that’s amazing and a complete shock! Thanks so much that really means a lot and I have to say I love working for you guys, it makes a real difference beining involved in a company that is organised, values their staff and you’re a cracking bunch as well”

Great stuff! Look out for our October winner next month.

NBA & ESPN get some Mash Love…

October 6th, 2010   By   Filed Under: Interesting, Weird and Wonderful

Sports and music experiential marketing agency Ignite produced a Fan Zone in parallel with the NBA’s Europe Live games at London’s National Theatre over the weekend. The activity aimed to increase NBA’s presence in the capital ahead of the game between Minnesota Timberwolves and the LA Lakers to take place at The O2 on Tuesday 5th October 2010 and also to publicise London Games 2011 – the first regular season NBA game ever to be held outside the US.

The Fan Zone outside the National Theatre on London’s South Bank featured a full-size basketball court that gave fans the opportunity to test their skills by shooting hoops alongside NBA legends and current players. MASH worked in partnership with The Promotions Factory to place a group of female sports fans amongst the fan zone, creating a buzz about the games ahead and the coverage held by ESPN. Six brand ambassadors were at The National Theatre on the 2nd and 3rd of October and ten brand ambassadors outside the O2 Arena on the 4th October, taking planes, trains and auto-mobiles to get there thanks to the warm welcomed tube strike!

All the sights and sounds of the NBA were on show, with skills clinics, a professional ‘dunk’ team, video games, NBA team mascots and performances by LA Lakers cheerleaders The Laker Girls alongside interactive sponsor experiences and attractions, of which our girls were a huge part and really helped to get the crowds excited.

The Larry O’Brien NBA Championship Trophy was also on show, with which fans could have their pictures taken on a green screen background and have themselves superimposed next to their favourite team.

Ignite will activate the Fan Zone at the Palais Omnisports de Bercy on the 6 October 2010 with the addition of a three point court and interactive activities.

A huge well done to the ESPN teams who worked hard to create a real buzz about the matches and promote the support and involvement of ESPN with NBA’s European tour matches. An eye-catching sight for all NBA fans, old and new.

Mash make a difference in Kenya

September 8th, 2010   By   Filed Under: Interesting, Weird and Wonderful

- ISMAT Medical School, Kisumu, Western Kenya -

ISMAT provides accessible, high quality, professional education to the deserving young, with continued emphasis on the under privileged and vulnerable. This school is one of only a handful nationwide to base admissions solely on merit, utilizing its parent body OGRA to support those in financial need.

2008
In 2008 MASH sponsored the building of 2 new classrooms at ISMAT – the OGRA funded International School of Medicine and Advanced Technology here in Kisumu.

ISMAT Students

One of the new rooms is used as a standard classroom, while the other is a computer room.
Shortly after the completion of the building, ISMAT applied to the Kenyan Clinical Offices Council (equivalent of UK GMC) to teach a diploma in clinical medicine (a 3 year course producing clinical officers). At the inspection, which involved the Minister of Health, the COC was so impressed with the resource centre that they offered ISMAT a license to teach a full medical programme.

This made ISMAT the fourth medical school in the entire country and the very first in Kisumu!

2009
In 2009 MASH sponsored the shipping of textbooks to ISMAT, with the idea of steadily building a library at the charity medical school. The books were donated by final year medical students and from medical libraries. Fate shone down again, this time the books arriving just in time for the Clinical Offices Council inspection of the ISMAT facilities. A glowing report followed, and Moi University, (the second largest University in Kenya, signed an agreement to allow ISMAT students to sit their exams with their pupils and issue a joint medical degree.
2010
This year, yet again, MASH stepped up to the plate, sponsoring the shipping of textbooks to Kenya, though in much greater numbers than before. A more coordinated effort than last year has seen a far more successful collection. Currently, sat proudly aboard an enormous hunk of floating metal, a small library is steadily making its way across the seas to Kenya. Hoping to avoid all Somali pirates and arrive in time for the new term!

Thanks to the efforts of all at MASH, a charity medical school in Kenya has been furnished with not only a new classroom and computer room – leading to its licensing as a medical teaching facility, but now a new library for its students, lecturers and researchers!

On behalf of the students and staff of ISMAT and OGRA I would like to thank all of you at MASH for your continued support of this great cause.

Masher of the Month – July 2010

August 4th, 2010   By   Filed Under: Masher of the Month

Hailing from Colombia and having just recently completed her 3rd year in the field for Mash…we’d like to say a massive well done and thanks for 3 years of dedication and professionalism to Monica Botero.

picture1b

Monica has completed hundreds of projects for us and never lets us down and always prepares really diligently and thoroughly for every campaign. She is currently knee-deep in her dissertation for her Masters in Marketing – and is focusing her project on Experiential Marketing.

Mashing through the years has clearly inspired her to take her experience to the next level and is hoping to land a graduate role with a top agency soon…

In the meantime, she’s still holding out for that elusive “Salsa Dance” campaign…

Well done Monica from all at Mash Towers.

Only the very best will do…

Partnership underlines every element of the Mash Manifesto.

We are so highly thought of because of the emphasis we put on our relationship with our field staff, affectionately known as ‘Mashers’, and the resource we dedicate to ensuring that our community feels valued, supported and motivated to deliver the very best staffing solution in the UK.

We have built this business on a respect driven manifesto based on the following principles;
> Recruit only the best promotional staff in the market.
> Recruit based on charisma and personality rather than just looks.
> Train and support all staff.
> Reward excellence.
> Do not tolerate average.
> Open, honest communication at all times.
> Remain open and objective, listening to all perspectives.
> Performance manage from brand ambassadors through to event managers.
> Be open to constructive feedback.
> Assist in career development.

Our Senior Brand Champion Christiana Dobbie recently held a 3 day Recruitment Event at the Marriot Hotel in Central Birmingham and the results and quality of new ‘Mashers’ on board has been outstanding.

interview-6b

Whittling down 145 applications to 55 interview slots is hard enough but then ensuring that only the very best succeed and proceed to full Mash Registration is no easy challenge. We are delighted to welcome on board 40 new Mashers in the Midlands who all successfully completed a detailed application on Moogle and were then taken through a series of role plays, interactive learning sessions, fun quizzes, Q&A sessions and of course, the ‘Mash Manifesto’.

interview-1b

As well as all of this, our new Mashers have had to display passion, integrity, charisma and confidence as well as many more  traits from the very first application right through interview and will now carry these key values into the field for Mash.

We deliberately don’t make it easy to get on to the Mash books as we want to ensure we add value to the process from the very first moment you engage with us via Moogle.

Look out for more interview days coming in an area near you soon and remember; “You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression”.

Masher of the Month – June 2010

July 1st, 2010   By   Filed Under: Masher of the Month

If you want high-energy in your promotion, then you should look no further than Agata Madurowicz. Agata joined Mash in September 2009 and since then has contributed hugely to a number of key campaigns for Mash.

When Agata says she is an ‘energetic and proactive’ employee in her personal statement on Moogle – she really means it and we – along with our many partner brands – feel the benefit of it as her performances over the last 8 months have been outstanding.

picture1b

Agata happily agrees that working on the Rayban Campaign at the Isle of Wight Festival in June was a Mashing highlight to date….you only need to look at her video on the Mash Fan Page on Facebook to see how much she enjoyed that.

img_0843b

Those are the kinds of jobs out there for top and consistent performing Mashers so get involved and give it your all!

Look out for July’s Masher of the Month coming soon!

Masher of the Month – May 2010

July 1st, 2010   By   Filed Under: Masher of the Month

We have decided that it isn’t enough to reward our Masher of the Month with the ‘celebrity status’ our blog and facebook give as well as the £100 shopping vouchers…..our new promise to our TOP Monthly Mashers is that they will be our FIRST PORT OF CALL FOR EVERY JOB  in their area for a whole month. They obviously won’t always be free but we want to recognise their outstanding performance by giving them the first opportunity of work for a 1 month period.

First up to walk the Mashing walk of fame….

rachel-walker

Rachel Walker joined Mash back in October 2007 and has gone on to deliver campaign after campaign with consummate professionalism and a wonderful smile on the face. Rachel always responds brilliantly to the huge variety of briefs thrown at her and has often accepted ‘last minute changes’ with complete flexibility and positivity.

Rachel is also one of our main ‘npower girls’ and has contributed to the ‘best team yet’ and we’re all looking forward to the remaining 4 Tests from the end of July.

It’s great to have you Mashing Rachel – Well done!
