Tigers Game!

We love people who work hard, and we love rewarding them for doing so! Last Thursday the Tigers played the Mariners and DBC was there to support! It was a one o’clock game and the managers reserved a suite for us to watch the game, enjoy the catered food, and socialize on a Thursday afternoon. The suite had indoor seating and private outdoor seating, as well as an endless buffet of food!

The Tigers game was only the beginning to a weekend full of activities! We had our NFL Draft Party on Thursday evening, a golf event on Saturday, a trip to the zoo, and a charity event on Sunday for Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit.

We always have different events going on with our company that give us a chance to get together outside of work. The managers promote a merit-based system, so they are constantly finding new and creative ways to reward people for doing well.

Our Creative Office Night!

Eric came up with a really creative idea for office night last week- pottery painting! We went to downtown Royal Oak last week to the Creative Arts Studio on W. Fourth Street and painted our own pieces of pottery. We each chose the piece that we wanted to decorate, these ranged from coffee mugs, to piggy banks and unique mosaics, and got to work decorating them!

Our pottery painting evening was so fun because it was something different that most of us had never done before! Typical office nights for us include going bowling, karaoke, the hat game, sand volleyball, a movie night, or doing some sort of event for a particular holiday or celebration.

We get to pick up our pieces of pottery this Thursday!

The 2011 Masters Tournament- DBC is There!

Our manager, Mike, is in Augusta, Georgia this week for the 2011 Masters Golf Tournament! He took both assistant managers and another top account representative to spend some time learning from a National Consultant in Atlanta, and then they headed to Augusta for the golf tournament.

Everyone except Mike will be returning to Michigan on Saturday, but Mike will be heading to England for a week instead. The people chosen for this trip are top performers and leaders in the office, and they have worked hard to deserve such a reward. We are looking forward to having everyone back in the office in a week!

Growing and Expanding!

We have out-grown our current location and are moving across the street! With our ever-growing client base and sales department, we were needing more office space to fit the needs of our clients.

Starting on March 14, 2011, our new address will be 100 E. Big Beaver Rd. Troy, MI 48083. We will be in the old AT&T building on Big Beaver next to Kona Grill.

DBC, Inc. Loves Assistant Manager Promotions!

Monday was an exciting day in the office! It’s only January, and we’ve already been able to promote an assistant manager- talk about starting off the year right! Krystal was promoted after the morning meeting on Monday in front of the entire office. She gave a motivating speech that took up through her path from the time she began as an entry level in the office, to her promotion to assistant 19 months later. Krystal will continue to develop her leadership and managerial skills so she will be prepared to manage an office of her own later this year.

Congrats Krystal!

Heading to Dallas!

The management team is traveling again- this time we are heading to Dallas, Texas for conferences and networking! We will leave Friday morning and return Sunday evening. The weekend will be full of meetings with top executives from around the country, goal setting for the new year, and information about new campaigns and companies we will be working with this year. There are also two big promotions that will be celebrated in Dallas, so those ceremonies will be held Saturday evening. We will have lots of exciting, new information to bring back to the office on Monday!

Atlanta Christmas Party & Charity Events!

Christmas and giving go hand-in-hand, so it only makes sense that our Christmas party would involve some charity donations. Our Christmas party in downtown Atlanta was a night of dancing, fun, and socializing! The party was at The Gold Room, and the club was rented out specifically for us. Everyone had to bring a toy to donate to Toys for Tots to enter the building, and there were Marines there to collect all of the toys.


We had another charity event the next day for the Operation Smile charity. This is a charity that we have been providing on-going support for. There were different contests and competitions for everyone to participate in, such as foosball, shuffleboard and raffles, and all of the donations went to the charity. The party and charity events in Atlanta helped us end the year on a positive and energetic note and we are looking forward to starting the New Year with the same mentality!
