I can’t believe that 2009 is almost over! My first six months at Power of 9 have been full of fun and sometimes full of vloek words but all-in-all I have to say that this is a flipping cool team to work with.

If you were a fly on the wall in the Power of 9 office you would more than likely hear about our team’s highlights and low lights of the day, week or month (and sometimes the vloek words). This is our final list of ‘fur balls’ (low lights) and ‘purrfects’ (highlights) for the year so we hope it makes you smile and if it makes you break out into a giggle, let us know.

We used caricatures of well known personalities to explore the main job types Quest Staffing Solutions offers. However, instead of going a great job, the characters depict how NOT to do a job.

We posted the videos on YouTube and Missy Quest, the social media butterfly for Quest, shares them with her online community of friends, fans and followers. The call to action is for candidates to visit the new acquisition site at www.quest.co.za/jobs and apply for positions offered via Quest.

The latest video shows candidates how NOT to serve customers in a front line banking position.

The videos were conceptualised in by the team at Power of 9, animation done by the award-winning animation studio Lung and sound by BigLeap.

The feedback on the videos posted has be great so far. What do you think?

Benchmark has chosen Power of 9 to develop their brand strategy. We are so excited to start the new year with this project.
