The Symbolic Passing of the Gavel of Leadership At the final Xenia Area Chamber of Commerce Board meeting in 2024, the traditional "passing of the gavel" ceremony took place. The event symbolically transfers the board chair leadership from the current board chair to the incoming chair. On Tuesday, Mark D. Weinstein, MSOL passed the gavel to Natalie Johnson, who will become the first chair to serve two years. The Chamber changed its bylaws in 2024 so the board chair will serve two consecutive years. In the final address as chair, Weinstein highlighted the following successes from 2024 that the Chamber experienced: * We l:aunched a new Xenia Chamber of Commerce website * We implemented a new communication tool that brings efficiencies in how we communicate with chamber members and help manage of day-to-day finances. This tool is called CC-Assist. * We enjoyed the most successful Annual Dinner event at the Greene County Fairgrounds in history. * We enjoyed the most successful Golf outing, held for the second consecutive year at Jasper Hills Golf Course. * We started the process for Chamber board development and established a new process for recruiting future board members. * We modified the Chamber bylaws * We finished the year in a financially strong position. * We were more intentional about telling the Chamber success stories through various communication channels (traditional and social media). In his closing comments, Weinstein charged the board with the following paraphrased quote from author Trey Smith: "If our presence doesn't make an impact, our absence won't make a difference." In 2025, let's build on the momentum that we've built the past few years and make a notable impact for the Xenia Chamber of Commerce, our members, and the residents in the City of Xenia." 👇

Happy Monday! A week or so ago, I was judging the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards. Now the tables have turned, as I started this week by finalising my submissions for the 2024 ROAR Awards. When I first started my business, the idea of entering business awards made me feel ick. But now I see the value of entering them. They're definitely a great way to review the ups and downs I've had in my business. Do you enter business awards? #businessawards #businessowner

As the industry heads to #cannes next week, sending a thank you to Yusuf Chuku for judging the WARC Grand Prix #creative awards. It's not often we see a strong POV on the confluence of media (framing) and creative (asset). I wholeheartedly advocate this more complete approach to ad impact! Been on this train for awhile and it's about time we all caught up. Curious Yusuf Chuku - how were the WARC evaluations conducted? Did you use any tools or was it based on human judgement? Asking as I think our industry is at a crucible. We have great, affordable scientifically sound ways to quickly measure impact and engagement on creative/media. Even for judging panels. :) Todd DAIVID 🦩 Ian Forrester 🦩 #media #advertising #mrxjobx Insights Association WARC WPP Publicis Groupe Omnicom Media Group
The WARC Awards Global Grand Prix Winners have just been released. Go to our website to see The Effectiveness Show now 👉 https://lnkd.in/ddvKq2ER Winning is an incredible feat for these campaigns. Only categories where Golds were awarded at the regional level were eligible for a Grand Prix. In those categories, all the Golds then competed against each other, and the Global Super Jury could only award one Grand Prix in each eligible category. They only awarded a Grand Prix if they felt the campaign *absolutely* met the benchmark. Watch The Effectiveness Show where, in 15 minutes, you'll learn who won, and why, along with clips from the winning campaigns. #WARCAwards #GrandPrixWinners #JustAnnounced #Campaign #Winner

Time flies! Three years ago this week, Midnight Blue Marketing won best new business at St Albans District Chamber of Commerce Community Business Awards. We are back this year as a finalist for small to medium size business. Why should you enter awards? 💫 Boosts credibility, to be recognised as the best in your field 💫 Improves team morale 💫 Expands your network - at the awards night and the PR around it 💫 And to have a shiny trophy to put in the office and shout about on LinkedIn! 😁 That first win, certainly opened doors for us, sparked conversations and gave us credibility in what we do (as well as a reputation for knowing how to celebrate). We now love celebrating with our clients. Roots Federation who were last years winners and looking forward to celebrating with I Support Behaviour on Friday. Writing an application also helps you pause and reflect on what you have done and how far you have come. It is all too easy to jump on the hamster wheel and we are looking forward to celebrating on Friday with everyone who has helped us to get to where we are today. #BusinessAwards #BusinessGrowth #CelebratingSucess
