CPX Interactive recently sponsored an event with members from the Boston Interactive Media Association (BIMA) at New England Aquarium in Boston, MA.
In recent months, CPX Interactive has been growing its presence in the Boston area with the help of some new friends from BIMA (Boston Interactive Media Association). Through a combined effort, CPX team members have been taking valuable strides in developing relationships and meeting with marketing and advertising professionals as well as getting to know the Boston area a little better. CPX Interactive’s Ben Turk, Director of Sales; Dana Posner, Marketing Manager; Jessica Calyer, Sales Associate; Polly Payne, Product Planner/Brand Sales; Stephen Kelly, AE/Emerging Verticals and Taylor Hall Marketing Associate, attend their sponsored event held at the New England Aquarium on Boston’s beautiful harbor.
Shannon FitzGerald, Digitas; Frank Petrosky, Digitas, Rachel Aranson, Digitas, and Nicholas Puccio, Digitas, all want a piece of the Cow Nose Rays.
On Thursday, August 18, 2011, the CPX team and BIMA members gathered in the newest attraction at the New England Aquarium, a touch tank filled with Cow Nose Rays and Bonnethead sharks. The event, Drinks, Eats and SHARKS?!, was CPX’s way of saying, ‘just as there are plenty of fish in the sea, there are just as many online advertising opportunities.’
Andrew Plakias, Digitas; Polly Payne, CPX Interactive; Kevin Vigneron, Digitas; Jessica Calyer, CPX Interactive and John Anderson, Digitas, enjoy a meal surrounded by beautiful Jellyfish.
The theme mirrored the fun-filled evening of everything interactive where guests had the chance to touch the friendly rays and sharks while they chatted with one another. Attendees included media people from Digitas, Allen & Gerritsan, Starcom MediaVest, all of whom participated in the touch tank experience. A room just below the main exhibit housed a jelly fish observatory where attendees dined as they enjoyed looking at the beautiful creatures.
Andrew Plakias, Digitas and Polly Payne, CPX Interactive, can't help but laugh as they touch the slimy backs of the Cow Nose Rays.
It was the perfect evening for the CPX team and BIMA guests to mix and mingle as both groups are still getting to know each other. Meeting a few of the BIMA team leaders, Cally Cooke and Lindsey Thorne-Bingham, was a great opportunity for CPX to put names on the faces we have been in contact with since CPX began working with BIMA in the beginning of the year. Overall, the evening was a ‘great catch’.
