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.

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.

Lauren Danecek hails from Sydney, Australia and after working on Mash Australia’s first job on the Sony Ericcson World Cup Campaign on Darling Harbour – was recommended to Mash UK by our MD Down Under – Neil Burton – after she received glowing feedback!

Lauren already had grand plans to hit the UK’s glorious shores on her travels and set up base for a while – so why not keep on Mashing while she did? And Mash have been so much better for it…..Lauren having successfully completed 8 activities with glowing feedback since joining us at the end of July.

Congratulations Lauren – great to have you on board. £100 Arcadia Vouchers on their way to you!

For all UK-based Mashers planning to travel to Australia then don’t forget to let us know as we will happily recommend you to meet our Australia Office to keep the Mash Magic flowing.

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.

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.

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!

First up to walk the Mashing walk of fame….

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!

Hailing from Belfast – her natural charm and professionalism has seen her build a really solid relationship with fellow Brand Ambassadors, Managers and Clients alike.

Well done Stephanie – Happy Spending!!

A real professional who works with a smile on his face and an attitude that really brings the best out of others.

Peter has been with Mash just under a year but in that time has received fantastic feedback throughout his Mash work and in particular for his work in the NHS Choices and Malibu campaigns.

Peter’s passion for all things Mash and his complete professionalism have led to him being recruited as our South Coast Brand Champion so look out for interview dates in the South Coast area soon.

Our Masher of the Month’s also take part in our new charitable initiative we are running here at MASH. For each every job that we win, we are going to be providing an interest free loan to an entrepreneur in need, on our client’s behalf. The way it works is that we provide an interest free loan of $50 to a low-income entrepreneur somewhere in the world, through our friends over at KIVA. You (the Masher of the Month ) choose who to lend to – whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq, and WE provide the loan.

It’s a powerful and sustainable way to empower someone right now to lift themselves out of poverty.

Here’s Pete’s response to the great news…

“Hi Guys,

Thanks so much for making me Masher of the month, it was a lovely surprise.

Big thanks to Andrew, he’s been a great guy to work for on Malibu. Always friendly supportive and understanding, just what an EM needs when their out in the field.

After much deliberation, I’ve decided that Bose Patrick, the nice lady who sells gin in Nigeria should get our money. It seems only right that the gin should flow, while I celebrate.
