Complete One's Rising Star / Top Gun & Christmas Party Weekend

At the start of this month we held our final Top Gun / Rising Star event of the year.  It was an action packed weekend as we also hosted our Christmas party. Breaking away from the tradition of paint-balling, we battled it out, with our Edinburgh office rivals, at laser-tag.


These event days are always a lot of fun and good team building activities. We always enjoy being involved in anything to do with competition and even more so now we can host joint events with our business partners in Edinburgh. It was Team Newcastle vs. Team Edinburgh once again. The top gun and rising star we selected for this event, from our Newcastle office, were Rachel Robinson and Marty Phillips.  Here we are all kitted out and ready to battle.  

“Recognising and rewarding people for their efforts is something I am passionate about, I believe it is crucial for a prosperous working environment. If people feel appreciated then they are happier and more productive in what they do.” said Managing Director at Complete One, Glen Lowes




After we battled it out at laser-tag, later that night we hosted our Christmas party, along with some of our business partners in Newcastle. The festive season was in full swing, everyone having the opportunity to get together to laugh, relax and interact.

“This year we have experienced a lot of growth and have really started to make a name for ourselves in this highly competitive industry. Our growth and success in 2014 has been largely due to the incredible people we work with and I am excited for the New Year to find the next wave of talented individuals who will help take Complete One forward” said Glen.

Complete One Countdown to Christmas

With the New Year rapidly approaching, at Complete One we have been reflecting on the year that's past and we are beginning to look ahead to 2015.


“When I sat down to review the year, and begin to plan and set goals for 2015, I was overawed by what we have achieved this year. This year has been our best year to date, and the tremendous success we experienced was largely unexpected If you had asked me this time last year where we would be 12 months later I could not have predicted the success we have had this year.” said Managing Director at Complete One, Glen Lowes


The start of the year set a precedent of what was to follow. In January we attended our industries National Awards Rally, in London, and we were among the award winners on the day when Managing Director Glen Lowes picked up an Outstanding Achievement award and Kirsty Pennal won a Top Performer award.

This year has involved a lot of travelling for us here at Complete One. We attended several business seminars across the globe in; Las Vegas, Barcelona, Dublin, London, Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham. Being involved in these events is so important as it allows us to meet people in our industry who are doing incredibly well, meet new business associates and establish new networking links.


Our biggest business success this year was our expansion into Scotland. Our business partner Kirsty Pennal headed up the project as we opened our second office in Scotland's Capital City, Edinburgh, back in September. As our business expanded our client portfolio grew simultaneously. When we began working with a client in the financial sector, seeing us branch in promotional events marketing. This new acquisition will be the driving force behind our plans to expand further next year.


This year we continued our support for the Rainbow Valley charity. We attended their annual black tie ball at the Thistle Hotel Glasgow, in November. We believe that as we are blessed to have so much it is important to give back.

Looking ahead to 2015 we want to capitalise on the incredible momentum we've gained this year and we expect it to be bigger and better than ever! We already have more travel plans with business meetings arranged in Sydney, New York and Dublin. One of our biggest goals for next year is to further expand the Complete One brand. By the end of the first Financial Quarter of 2015 we will have expanded from 2 to 4 offices and by the end of the year that number will increase again as we plan to be in a minimum of 7 locations including; Glasgow, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Dublin, Leeds, Sheffield.


“2014 has really set the bar high! The success we have experienced this year has made me hungrier for more! I am so passionate about Complete One, the people we work with, and the work that we do and I want to expand our business and ideologies throughout the UK and beyond!” said Managing Director at Complete One, Glen Lowes

Complete One Review The Benefits Of Event Marketing

Event marketing is the process of developing a themed exhibit, display, or presentation to promote a product, service, cause, or organisation using in-person engagement. It is a marketing strategy that allows for for direct interaction with customers. Event marketing is one of the fastest growing fields in marketing and advertising today, It is everywhere you look in today's culture.



In today’s buyer-empowered world, marketers need to seize every opportunity to build relationships and earn the trust of their prospective buyers and customers. The modern consumer has become more demanding and less loyal to brands. Events offer a unique opportunity for consumers to interact with brands to get a first hand sense of a company’s focus, perspective, and personality.



Getting more interactive with your consumers creates a bigger impact than digital advertising. Do you remember the last billboard you walked past or the last advert you seen on TV? Probably not! However you would remember the last conversation you had. Technology is advancing and companies need to keep up. The number of people watching pre-recorded programming is on the rise and therefore many adverts are not even being viewed thanks to the ability to fast forward pre-recorded programming.  Times are changing and evolving and your marketing strategies need to keep up.



“I believe the success of event marketing is down to consumers craving a more personalised shopping experience. Being able to interact with customers face to face, building that relationship, is what's too often missing in today's ever advancing technological world. Human interaction is what makes the difference.” said Managing Director Glen Lowes
