Last week Robin and I, from the account management team, had the pleasure of visiting one of our awesome clients here in Indianapolis. Let me give you a hint — there were quite a few “barks” and “meows.” Any guesses?
I’m talking about those lovable little animals over at the Indianapolis Humane Society. Upon arrival, we immediately bribed them with a favorite human treat — Dunkin’ Donuts — so they would give us a behind-the-scenes tour of the place. Thankfully, they took the bait and agreed to let us see their inner workings. Long story short, we had a blast!
It had been a while since I visited a humane society and looked for animals, so it was a luxury being able to see all the hard work that goes into keeping the center afloat. Right away, it was apparent that those guys took extra special care of the animals, from the way they cleaned the cages to the amount of generous donors and volunteers on staff. They definitely keep to their mission statement: ˝Our vision is that all central Indiana animals are treated with dignity and respect and live free from cruelty, harm and neglect.˝ Those dogs and cats looked adorable. Not to mention super happy. I would’ve taken some puppies home with me if I wasn’t riding my motorcycle that morning. That sort of animal transportation is probably frowned upon.
Needless to say, Tristan (our guide) and the rest of the folks at the Indianapolis Humane Society were happy to see the people behind their marketing projects there for a visit. And for us, it was a welcome break from websites, search engine optimization and design to just relax and get to know our client a little better.
Plus, those donuts weren’t going to eat themselves!
