Well look at us, not long after celebrating Milk’s third birthday and we’re moving locations for a third time. At this rate we might as well plan to “change office” every New Year’s Eve (goodbye champagne and streamers, hello IKEA assembly instructions). Or better yet, we just might have to set up shop in our very own Airstream trailer. Who needs to e-mail files? We’ll come to you! (Ah, if only we lived in a world where gas was truly dirt cheap).
We never could have predicted that after starting out underneath the palms in Orange County, California we’d move our business back to our hometown of Grand Rapids, MI—and now to Auckland, New Zealand! You know what they say, “third times a charm”, and we don’t expect it to be any different for our new home. After all, according to the World Bank Group, New Zealand is rated the second best country for doing business in the world—surpassed only by Singapore. Would you believe we actually got our business up and running in a day here? How refreshing to not even need a scissors for all that red tape we’re so accustomed to.
So far this new land has proven to be a beautiful, friendly, good-natured one and although we can’t really bake a nation-sized plate of cookies to show our appreciation, we can offer honest hard work and valuable services to boot! Of course we will always have a special place in our hearts for our U.S. clients, and will do everything humanly possible to give them the same quality products and customer care as we do anyone else—all miles and time-changes aside. But we are quite excited about all the ways this new place and experience will help the growth and maturity of our business. And most of all we’re excited you’re here, reading this blog, because you’re the reason we love our jobs. No matter where we wander, we hope you come along.
