Thanking My Team And Clients This Holiday Season

(This is a post I wrote over on my company blog on Slocum Design Studio. I thought it was worth sharing here.)

Can you believe it’s Christmas already?

Just over a year ago my father and I set out to create a new family business. After being in the automobile industry for over 40 years – it was time for a change. My grandfather built our family business on the foundation of great quality products and customer service.

Slocum Design Studio was born with the same intentions.

Build quality web, design, photo and video products that deliver results. All supported by the most talented local team of professionals in our field. With a home in the historic Salt Marsh Pottery building in Dartmouth, MA – customers can feel confident that a strong local company is supporting their investment.

One Year Old And Growing

This last year has been an exciting ride. We have learned a lot from this fast paced industry with our team growing in numbers and talent.

The Web Design and Development team is growing fast at the studio. They continuously challenge each other to produce a high quality product that is cutting edge. Not to be out matched is our extremely talented Video team. They really bring the messages to life with stunning visuals and film. All of us are learning and growing together – a truly awesome experience.

Most importantly, we have learned from you – our customers. We have been recognized in the local business community as a company that delivers a powerful and quality product.

It’s no surprise – our founder, Mark Medeiros, has been doing this for over 40 years as owner/operator of Ralph’s Chevrolet and Cadillac.

What We Are Thankful For

We are thankful for our AWESOME team.

These are the most talented folks in our industry. They come together everyday to form a “super hero” alliance that produces a great product and service. It’s hard to express the greatness they all contribute. In no particular order:

Thank you Tara Carreiro our Lead Videographer.
Thank you Jeff Golenski our Senior Designer.
Thank you Scott Sousa our Junior Developer.
Thank you Derek Almeida our Operations Manager.
Thank you Gayle Medeiros our Financial Officer.

Without your efforts – we wouldn’t be where we are today.

We are thankful for our AWESOME clients.

Over the last year, many of you have trusted Slocum Design to deliver the message and identity you have worked hard for. We can’t thank you enough for your continued support and desire to work with our company. We look forward to grow with you and your business in the coming years.
