This past week reaffirmed why I love my job so much. My amazing co-workers surprised me with flowers, a Starbucks gift card, a hilarious birthday card and a lunch out on my birthday. At first, I was down in the dumps about turning 26 but by Saturday I was still celebrating – after a crazy joint-birthday party with fellow 26 year-old Christy Oberley. This was seriously my favorite birthday since 21.

It occurred to me Friday night amidst the dance-offs, singing, jumping on furniture and odd drink concoctions that the people I work with are truly the hardest working, hardest partiers I have ever known. Each member of the Dittoe team, from Chris & Liza to our interns, is outgoing, funny, genuine and more importantly - the best at what they do.

Members of the Dittoe gang are high tech PR specialists, consumer PR experts and… party animals. It's quite a change from the corporate world I spent several years in! Change happens every minute of every day in this office. Clients have new ideas, new products, new services and Dittoe rolls with the changes making sure we can maximize our clients’ news to the very best of our ability.

When Oprah Winfrey’s producer calls Meg Charlebois we all celebrate with a quick dance in the middle of the office. When Good Morning America calls Liza we all scream in excitement [and maybe play a New Kids on the Block song as a tribute]. We truly work together and have fun together. We’re not in competition with each other to see who can get the best coverage – we work together to ensure we ALL get the best coverage for our clients.

You simply cannot work with a better group of people or with more amazing professionals. So, here’s to being 26 and working at Dittoe Public Relations – may we have many more celebrations!
