Sales Appreciation Week @ Pinnacle Promotions

I was assigned the task of creating a Sales Appreciation Week for our sales team from us in the art department. I fully researched, organized and designed all aspects of the week, including the events, giveaways and several printed pieces. I also budgeted and purchased nearly all items and food on my own time, putting my couponing skills to good use. We had everything from an ice cream social, personally painted photo frames, luau lunch, mid-afternoon cupcake cart, and more. Everyone was thrilled and it was a big hit!

Candy messages I found while researching online. I designed, printed and trimmed these by hand (more than 100!) before attaching them to individual fun-size candies.

Personalized photo frame that I painted for one of our salespeople. Funny story, we both have the same shirt with this feather design on it and we joke about how it's inevitable that we'll both wear them on the same day. So I just had to paint the design on her frame!

Personalized photo frame that I painted for one of our salespeople, who was considering red and teal for her wedding colors at the time. I made those roses by hand out of construction paper and hot glue.
