My colleague Sarah joined RedBalloon on April Fools Day in 2004 – she is fast approaching her five year anniversary. With any special occasion it gives us a moment to reflect. I’m sure Sarah could share much better than I about the changes she has experienced at RedBalloon…and the ones she has championed. She was the RedBallooner who coined the name ‘Pleasure Relations’ for instance.
One thing that has not changed at RedBalloon is our values and how we celebrate them. Sarah executes the corporate programs for our clients – and took on rolling out the RedHot Rewards program internally as well, with the same creativity and dedication.
In our points based programs clients may have many thousands of participants and we see two different characteristics in all programs. There are those that spend points as soon as possible. And there are those who create a Wishlist and save towards something big. Sarah herself is a ‘saver’.
So it is with great delight that she shared the below photos of the culmination of many years of being acknowledged as a great contributor to RedBalloon. She selected Trekking Everest Base Camp
Sarah sent me a wee note “I wanted to share with you my photos from my incredible trip to Nepal – thanks to my RedHot Reward points. It is almost a year ago that I took this unforgettable experience and it still lives with me daily. So just wanted to say THANKS AGAIN!”
Thank you Sarah for sharing the pictures and the stories; wonderful to know that a year later and into the future we gave you an experience that will always be with you… cheers
PS Wonderful to see our branding even in Nepal… Love that Brand Connection 
Imagine running a business based on fun - that's what I decided to try when I left a very serious corporate career in marketing to set up RedBalloon...
