JWT = Juniper Wheat Tabasco

Last Friday's Town Hall Meeting brought about several announcements and a few surprises for everyone. First, we had the pleasure of hearing JWT's Worldwide President Michael Maedel speak before our very eyes. Michael was in Manila for the week to personally introduce our new CEO Jos Ortega to JWT's local clients.

Next, Jos officially launched Juniper Wheat Tabasco, which technically are the color shades of the JWT logo. However, from the planning session that Mancom had a few weekends ago, new meanings were infused into these three words. Juniper green stands for our company's history of firsts which we must continue to uphold, Wheat yellow pertains to talent management while Tabasco red refers to the kind of fiery passion and work that JWT is all about. And to remind us that hot ideas and spicy talent aren't meant to be bottled up, everyone went home with their very own Tabasco sauce!

(By the way, in case some of you haven't noticed yet, our meeting rooms have been renamed to Juniper, Wheat and Tabasco. Check out the signs outside!)



BATman Onat Roldan then proceeded to talk about a little online promo entitled Firsts that Juice Water Tinapay will be implementing soon. For those of you who forgot, we will be posting JWT "Firsts" trivia on a random day for several hours only. At the end of each week, a question will be posted regarding that trivia. The first employee who can correctly answer by simply clicking on the Comments tab will instantly win a prize! Isn't it wonderful that we have to bribe you guys to read this blog?

Finally, before we greedily dove in to the feast that Mexicali catered for us, we had one last surprise--a 2 song performance by our in-house band, Last Minute (if we're lucky maybe next time they'll have three songs?)

Last Minute... or Last Second?

It was definitely a treat for the ears (and eyes) when Mark Peckson and Gelo started belting out to Come Together by the Beatles. And if that wasn't enough to put us in a good mood, look at the lovely site that awaited by the lobby:

Free dirty ice cream!!!


Even Michael Maedel wants a cone!

Don't you wish every Friday was just like this one?
