Ask HN: what's your favourite startup/agency Christmas greeting?

10 points by stevejalim 15y ago

Hi all An agency I work with has just launched its 2011 online 'Christmas card' for clients and friends. It's a lot of fun (I'll post a link to it in the comments), but got me thinking: how do startups (and other agencies) have a bit of fun with their holiday greetings? Good examples welcome! Steve

An agency my partner worked for did "Jumpers for Shelter" last year: employees hand-knitted or hand-accessorized a jumper, which was then auctioned along with some bling donated by clients (kitchen knives, computer games, jewellery). All money from the eBay auction went to Shelter. http://en-gb.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.175361102491973.43425.167375409957209&type=1 http://en-gb.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.175361102491973.4...

Here's the 2011 one from all of us at Torchbox: http://sing.torchbox.com http://sing.torchbox.com (Yes, this is a pretty gratuitous plug, I know, but it's fun. See the FAQs link for how we built it).

Mint Digital (based in London) did a great one a few years ago. I got sent a moleskine which had the words "Amicus Menthae" embossed in it. If you google the phrase, you get this website: http://amicusmenthae.com/ http://amicusmenthae.com/ An image of the moleskine is also there if you're interested.

  You really need to do a "Making of" video for that sort of thing. It's nice having both the e-presence and the physical Christmas card to send (or to have already sent out) to clients.
