Track5’s Top Five: What We’re Thankful for in 2018

I know, I know. You’re probably rolling your eyes because this blog is another cheesy, “what I’m thankful for,” post the week of Thanksgiving. Sorry to disappoint you. Despite it being cheesy or cliché or whatever, we do have a lot to be thankful for as we reflect back on 2018. Some of it is serious and sappy. Other things we’re thankful for are lighthearted and fun. Then there are a few that are strictly business. We kept the list short and sweet, but here’s what Track5 is thankful for in 2018.

Top Five Things Track5Media is Thankful for in 2018

Here are the top five things we as a company are grateful for this holiday season!

Opening a new office in Florida

The biggest thing that Track5 is thankful for in 2018 is our expansion into Florida. We just so happened to find lots of qualified developers in the Sunshine State so we had to open a second location there. Located on the Gulf Coast in St. Petersburg, we now have a team of seven people. We are grateful to have a solid team there working on our brands. We get to chat with them via our Slack chat service, and they’ll come up here and suffer the bitter Pennsylvania winter for our company Christmas party.

Creating new positions

Not only did we hire several new people, but we also created a few new, much-needed positions within our company. For starters, this year we added an executive administer to our team. This person is responsible for everything from keeping our snacks full to recruiting and hiring talent to accounting to keeping our company culture consistent across both offices. Little did we know that we’d find someone as sweet and fun as Aarin. She quickly became the cool, if “dad says no, ask mom,” office parent.

We also added Megan and Kelly to our team. They are our “make everything look pretty” people. Some kind of designers… none of us really know exactly how they do what they do, but we know that it added immense value to the content on our brands.

And last but definitely not least we have several web QA analysts who are working in newly created positions. These guys are amazing because they make sure that all of our websites function at the highest quality possible for our clients. They catch all of the things that the rest of us might miss, and they’re really good at it!

Increasing our staff

As you might have guessed from the previous two things we’re thankful for in 2018, we’ve increased our staff! We couldn’t have done this without a dedicated and strong sales team. Business is booming in our industries, especially in the trucking industry. This has kept everyone within the company on their toes, especially account management. It’s a good feeling when you see a company growing at such a steady pace. Most of the desks in our open office space are full! We hired nine new people in 2018, not to mention a few long-lasting interns. So many new, fun people… another thing Track5 is thankful for in 2018.

Watching our Track5 “babies” grow

We’re like a family here at Track5, so when anyone’s family grows, we consider it an addition to our own. This year we’ve been blessed to watch our two newest Track5-ers grow. Last year our company president had a son, baby Joaquín, and our director of client accounts, Jill, had baby Bryce this year. The babies are just about seven months apart in age. We’ve also gained a couple of pups and kittens. Oh, and we have a few weddings to look forward to in 2019!

The delivery service at Pat’s Pizzeria

Ok people. Don’t judge us. We work hard, we’re busy, and we get hungry. So, to say that our team members here at the Lancaster office use the delivery service at Pat’s Pizzeria frequently is an understatement. We’ve got them on speed dial. Their delivery driver’s car steers itself to our office. Why do we bother asking what we should order for lunch? Chances are that if no one has the time to run out, we’re getting Pat’s. Cheesesteaks. Salads. Club sandwiches. They’ve got it all. An office full of people with the same appreciation for food is another thing that Track5 is thankful for in 2018.

What are you most thankful for this holiday season? Now that we’ve poured our corporate heart out, feel free to do the same.
