Brandemix is always ready to celebrate brands, but this week, I want
to celebrate our own brand – and the brand that is New York City. Though many
others faced much tougher challenges, we at Brandemix knew that, despite all
the hardships caused by the storm, the calendar hadn’t changed.
Our clients throughout the country still had important, immovable
deadlines. And while the city canceled the Halloween Parade and the NYC
Marathon, we knew we had to keep our commitments to our clients.
Two of us live on Long Island and had to evacuate. One of us lives in
Downtown NYC, and lost water, power, and gas. But all of us found a way to
continue creating strategies and solutions for our clients.

In addition to our people, technology is a real star of the story.
Through smart devices and software, servers and Starbucks, we were able to
continue to work miracles together without missing a beat, a watt or an email (but yes, possibly a bath!).
We’re up and running and back at full strength. We hope you all
fared as well.
At times like these, I’m grateful to be in the city of New York,
particularly because I love New Yorkers. And I want to thank the Brandemix
team, particularly Kathryn, Dana, Jason, Clarissa, and Mike, who did everything
they could to make sure our service wasn’t interrupted despite all the
devastation we faced.
Stay safe and stay strong.

Great post! It is unfortunate that it takes these times of adversity for us to realize how much we all need one another.
