The Mo Season is ending and the Gravytrain Mo’s are coming up to a furry finish. The Mo Bros have made a fantastic effort with growing and nurturing their moustaches over the last 30 days.

The Gravytrain Mo Bros and Mo Sistas have all done a fine job supporting Movember and has raised a whopping £1527.00 for a great cause.

If you are also impressed with their furry face friends, you can still make a donation on Gravytrain’s Movember Page.

The office looked fantastic and we are looking forward to next Movember.

Movember is upon us once again and the Gravytrain Mo’s are off to a smooth start this moustache season!

For those who don’t know about Movember, it’s when men from across the world, also known as Mo Bros, start of with a clean-shaven face on the 1st November and then jump on the hairy bandwagon to grow, groom and nurture their way to a fine looking moustache over 30 days.

However, it’s not just ANY moustache, it’s a moustache that gets people talking and raising awareness about men’s health, that can often be ignored. The Mo Bros can join forces with women, also known as Mo Sistas, to raise money and get their Mo-growing efforts sponsored.

Not only does it generate a few giggles, but Movember also raises awareness for a great cause and funds world class programmes including, The Prostate Cancer Charity, The Institute of Cancer Research, Awareness & Education and Global Action Plan.

You can keep up to date with Gravytrain’s Mo growing efforts on Twitter, Facebook and also here on our blog. If you would like to support a good cause and sponsor our Mo Bros then why not visit Gravytrain’s Mo Space.

Last Friday the Gravytrain team got involved in “wear it pink day” to show our support for breast cancer research.

The mission Breast Cancer Campaign has, is to fund innovative, world-class research to understand how breast cancer develops, leading to improved diagnosis, treatment, prevention and ultimately, beating breast cancer.

“Wear it pink day” was a really fun and easy way to raise money for this wonderful charity, we all wore something pink and donated £2 to Breast Cancer Campaign. We also got extra donations by selling pink cupcakes and doughnuts, getting the office involved in the competitive sweepstake that was included in the fundraising pack and shouting about it around Hampton Hill to encourage the local businesses to donate.

Breast Cancer Campaign currently supports 105 research projects, worth over £17.3 million in 31 centres of excellence across the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

The office looked very pretty in pink! If you would also like to make a donation and help Breast Cancer Awareness You can make a donation here.

Last night the Gravytrain Search team made their way to HMS President, the location of the latest Online Marketing Meetup.

This was a great opportunity for the team to meet and greet others within the fast growing digital marketing industry.

Upon arriving at the event we were treated to three presentations. The first was by Nick Garner, Head of Search at Unibet. He spoke about how to use CRM, Social Media, SEO and Online PR to engage with consumers at the “Zero Moment of Truth”, as Google calls it. Next up on the agenda was Mike Essex from Koozai who introduced us to their ideas of first page domination for your brand within Google’s search engine, before Samantha Stratton rounded off the presentations by explaining just how Koozai achieved their first page domination.

After the presentations we had a chance to digest the information over a few drinks whilst engaging with others from the digital marketing realms.

It was a fantastic evening, and we here at Gravytrain are already looking forward to the next one. We would like to thank Gus and Matt from QUAD London for organising and hosting the event.

Last week, the Gravytrain team attended the latest Online Marketing Meetup, which was held on the wonderful HMS President. It was a chance for the team to meet and network with other people on a permanently moored ship along the Embankment, who also have a passion for digital marketing!

Not only was it a chance to network, there were also three guest speakers at the event including Jeremy Waite, Head of Social Media at Phones4U, Alex Myers from Manifest London PR Agency and Heather Taylor from the BBC who talked about her experiences of Social Media and Online PR. It was good to gain knowledge about other case studies and to also hear from other industry experts.

We met other businesses and enjoyed discussing online marketing over a few drinks, as well as speaking to individuals who wanted to find out more about the industry.

It was nice to be somewhere where everyone had the same interest! Thanks to Gus and Matt from QUAD London for organising the event. The Gravytrain team had a great evening and are looking forward to the next Online Marketing Meetup.
