Proposal Panda visits 24 Hour Co.

So, Proposal Panda’s been travelling. Here’s a report from Mike Parkinson and the team at 24 Hour Co.

It was pandemonium. Everyone saw red. The proposal was due in two days, and the client wanted one giant bear of a graphic created.

Tired and stressed out, our creativity was an endangered species teetering on extinction.

Then faster than you could say “bamboo shoot,” Proposal Panda climbed in front of the room.

“You can do it!” Proposal Panda roared. “You have the basic idea. You’re so close!”
​
He quickly sketched one of our concepts onto the board.

“You just need a different perspective,” he said.

Invigorated by seeing our idea drawn out in black and white, we sent the sketch to the client and received an enthusiastic approval.

Proposal Panda rendered the graphic, while we put the finishing touches on the presentation and assembled the binders.

“A proposal is like pawing your way up the mountain and through the brush,” Proposal Panda said. “You may get tired or stumble along the way. However, when you’re finished, you can rest and enjoy the leaves of your labor.”

To finish, here’s a photograph of Proposal Panda with the team.

Wow, you must have really worked that bear, by the time he got to us, he was much smaller!

We were so caught up in the spirit of the event that’s really me in a custom bear costume. ;) I have one word to say about—itchy. Seriously, my wife, Jennifer, did a great job writing a “punny” story.

Hmmm, when I first saw the photo I did think “oh that’s Mike!” but the ID badge threw me off. Maybe they should have just sent you around to visit, that would have been fun. Very cute story, nice photos as well.

We fed him nothing because someone told me that Panda’s eat, shoots and leaves. ;) And I want nothing to do with violence of any type.
