The Ah!Media team is back in the office this morning, sporting questionable tan lines and feeling the post-vacation blues. 🌵 🌍 🌞    Last Thursday we ventured to sunny Marrakesh, seizing the chance to bond by the pool with colleagues and cocktails in hand.  🌊 🍹 🍸 The last 4 days have been spent in a gorgeous Moroccan villa, where we have enjoyed a range of traditional cuisine, late night swims and competitive sporting activities.  🍲 🏖 🌞 In true Ah!Media style there were themed evenings, including a charity shop shirt swap night that saw us dressed as builders, penguins, and dinosaurs. 🐧 👷♂️ 👒 Across the 4 days we ventured out to explore the very best Marrakesh had to offer. Some of the team ticked off not one, but two bucket list activities in just one day as they flew over the Atlas Mountains in a hot air balloon and trekked through the desert on camels. 🐪 🌵⛰ Others took on the sand dunes, racing across the sun baked terrain on quad bikes and those who were more interested in the cultural offerings explored the vibrant realms of the souks. 👛 🌞 🏜 A massive thank you to Farhan Ahmed for an amazing holiday, the team are now ready to take on the second half of the year starting with Enterprise IT Strategy Forum and Customer Experience Strategy Forum.

Keeping Up With The Ah!Medians! Our Ah!Media team successfully delivered our Police Strategy Forum this week, marking the conclusion of our Q2 events and the exciting beginning of our summer activities. What better way to kick off summer than in the beautiful, sun-soaked city of Marrakesh?  As we look forward to next week, we're excited to trade our office desks for sunbeds and the refreshing poolside at our stunning villa. The holiday kicks off early next Thursday with a 4am start at Ahmedia HQ. During our getaway, we're eagerly anticipating the array of games and activities lined up for us, including an exciting obstacle course. Some venture into the sky in hot air balloons while others take on the desert in quads! Let's hope we all come back in one piece. #ahmedia #summerparty #staffholiday

It's Coming Home ! 📢 ⚽ Today, the Ah!Media team embraced the football spirit by holding a sweepstake for the upcoming Euros starting next week. The draw stirred emotions, especially among Ah!Media's biggest football fans, as they watched their favourites quickly disappear (sorry Daniel Wilcox, you can't win them all). The banter and friendly rivalry has already kicked off, with some good-natured bribing for England taking place. Grant Smoker, want to swap? 🦁 🦁 🦁 The entire office is now alive with excitement and covered in flags at every turn. Our DME's Charlie Lane and Paige Aldred have made their selections and seem fairly confident with their teams...we'll see. 😁 Football fans or not, we're set to have some lively competition in the office for the next few weeks. ⚽ Stay tuned for more Euros fun to come! #Euros24 #sweepstake #team

🌟 It's Mental Health Awareness Week, and at Ah!media, we're all about putting the 'move' in 'improve'! 🌟 This year's theme is MOVEMENT – moving more for your mental health - and boy, are we moving and grooving! 💃🕺 In our quest to ensure a positively charged workplace, we've introduced some snazzy additions. Drumroll, please... 🥁 Say hello to our newest team members: the Walking Desk and the Putting Green! 🚶♂️⛳️ The Walking Desk: Because who said you can't brainstorm while taking a stroll? 🚶♀️💡 Catch us striding towards innovation! The Putting Green: For those moments when patience needs a practice swing! ⛳️ Who knew sinking a putt could sink stress levels too? We believe that fostering a supportive environment isn't just about succeeding in your role; it's about ensuring each member feels valued, heard, and balanced. 🌈 So, while we're navigating spreadsheets and scaling strategies, let's remember to take a breather, laugh a little, and maybe even sink that tricky putt! 😉 Happy Mental Health Awareness Week! Let's keep moving forward, one step (or putt) at a time. 🌟 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MoveToImprove #MentalHealthMatters 

An Afternoon Escape to the Caribbean!☀ 🏝 In celebration of the job swap afternoon last month, the Ah!Media team were treated to a delightful lunch at Turtle Bay!👏 Showcasing the importance of collaboration across departments as well as creating a culture where the ideas of all employees are not only listened to but also implemented, we’re already starting to see some of the team’s innovative suggestions come to life! (Watch this space - there’s exciting things to come!)👀 Want to join the team? 😀 We are currently looking to expand and are now recruiting for a variety of roles across the business. If you would like to join a high-spirited, innovative and vibrant group of individuals who are (in the words of our CEO) ‘SMASHING IT’, then enquire below today.🤩 https://lnkd.in/e8RfaqDY #AhMedia #teamwork #officelunch

Congratulations to our Delegate Marketeers for being the first team EVER to beat the Sales Department in the annual Christmas decoration competition! A late but very well deserved celebration for the girls! 😁 #StrategyNetworks #TeamBuilding #PlayHard

“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” - Henry Ford While it may be tempting to focus solely on your own team's successes and achievements, the reality is that effective cross-departmental collaboration is essential for overall organisational growth. Recognising this, over the past two weeks, all of us here at Ahmedia have made a group effort to broaden our horizons by immersing ourselves in the workings of other departments while considering how we can improve the 3 P's (People, Product, Process). By actively listening in on calls and taking the time to learn about each department's unique processes and challenges, we've unearthed valuable insights and identified areas where we can contribute to enhanced business efficiencies and improved revenue generation. Yesterday afternoon, buoyed by this newfound knowledge, Team Ice, Fire, Lightning, and Kangaroo (yes, you guessed it, we have an Australian colleague!) came together to present our many innovative ideas. But it didn't stop there – we turned it into a healthy competition, injecting some fun into the mix with the added incentive of a chance to win dinner at a top-end restaurant. Through these presentations, we didn't just highlight solutions that benefit individual teams; we underscored their potential impact on the broader business landscape. It's through this collective effort and shared vision that we're poised to achieve greater heights of success and drive positive change across the organisation. Look out for some of our great ideas to be put into action.... P.S. Farhan Ahmed, we're all waiting to find out who the winner is. 🏆 #Ahmedia #StrategyNetworks #Collaboration
