Our AWESOME Week in Review! – 2.1.2013

by

Today we celebrated the upcoming Super Bowl weekend by having a “Healthy Food” Super Bowl party sponsored by the CK Wellness Team.  There was an AMAZING spread of food including guacamole, salsa, veggies and dip, even a chocolate cupcake with only 105 calories!  On a side note, for those of us who wanted to splurge a bit, there was an awesome buffalo cheese dip as well! Big thanks to the Wellness Team for inspiring the healthy food day!

 

Brian, from our Purchasing department, has mentioned to everyone how bad he needs a laptop here at the office. It seems his fellow co-workers helped him out with a [Read more…] about Our AWESOME Week in Review! – 2.1.2013

It’s Fun Hat Friday (FHF) here at the CK office! We have some very creative (and weird – yes, we can say that because we have embraced it) people here at the office.  Always a fun time around here! Which hat is your favorite? Have any recommendations for hats for the next FHF?

Our AWESOME Week in Review! – 1.18.2013

It was a very eventful week here at the CK office! Lots of hype, lots of work and lots of weather…

On Wednesday, we had our first Quarterly meeting of 2013! It was an absolute blast!  As you can see from the picture, our theme for this year is a “building/construction” theme – we are looking to build CablesAndKits into the best it can be and truly become ‘Experts in Awesome” in every way possible to better support and take care of our customers! This quarter we are starting it off right by laying the foundation and “Doing the Right Things”. It is going to be an exciting year here at CK.

Our “rock star” Sales Director celebrated his 40th birthday this week!  He is getting a little slow in his old age, so we had to put up a [Read more…] about Our AWESOME Week in Review! – 1.18.2013

Hey you there… yeah you! The one reading this blog!

We have started a weekly blog in pictures to recap all (well, at least a taste of) the awesome stuff that’s happened here at CK during the week. Every Friday we will post new photos to recap the awesomeness, so stay tuned and enjoy the ride!

The rematch of the century (well maybe not quite) Office vs. Warehouse flag football game took place on Saturday. The Office dominated with the [Read more…] about Our AWESOME Week in Review! – 1.11.2013

Laser Voyage Cafe

by

Once again, CablesandKits has hit another milestone in growth…our best sales month ever! Whether it’s having a cookout that ends with sumo wrestling competitions or zip-lining 50 feet up in the air, the leadership team at CK always finds unique and fun ways to celebrate.

On this occasion, the CK crew played pirates at the Laser Voyage Café. Unlike the pirates of old, we were armed with lasers and fought our cutthroat-style battle in a shadowy and foggy arena. I don’t know what was more fun, shooting at co-workers or watching our CEO Craig run around tagging employees like a madman!

Along with enjoying bouts in the laser arena, we entertained ourselves in the arcade and relived childhood games such as Whac-A-Mole, Skee ball, racing and hunting simulators and hoops. There was even a timed “Laser Maze” that looked like something straight out of “Mission Impossible.” The objective is to get to the other side of a room full of lasers and not trip one. To make it even more challenging, once you reach [Read more…] about Laser Voyage Cafe

Rollin’ Out a Mascot That Rocks!

by

What’s red, white and cool all over? Our totally decked out “experts in awesome” wheels, which rolled into our company meeting on August 1 and rocked everyone’s world!

If you live in the ATL, look for our “awesomeness in motion” at industry events or just zipping around town. It’s kind of hard to miss…and the best news is, it’s only the first of many cool things to come from CablesAndKits.

Oh, and by the way…you may have also noticed a new face on our car, our website and in our e-newsletters. It’s the fantastic CablesAndKits flying robot monkey!

As developed expressly for CablesAndKits by our friends at Mighty 8th Media, our robot monkey is the personification of our “experts in awesome” culture: Slightly mischievous, yet fully engaged in serving our customers’ needs.

He was made to be a friendly, approachable friend who’s technologically savvy and always there for you…just like CablesAndKits.

Sometimes he’ll be front and center to draw your attention to great deals—and other times, you’ll notice him just frolicking in the background.

As he and his jetpack landed mysteriously at our warehouse recently, we really don’t know a whole lot about him yet. We DO know that he comes from a faraway place and possibly a different time, but really that’s about all for now. Stay tuned and we’ll all get to know him in the days to come!

And hey, if you are not following us on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or Linked In, please do, so you can stay up-to-date with all of the latest and greatest shenanigans around the office, and cool deals and specials we keep rollin’ out for you!
