We like to go the extra mile here at BLAST - whether it's for our clients, editors or our colleagues. One recent example is with our client, Tannoy, who had a suite at the Hilton for CES this year. The room was jam-packed with Tannoy residential speakers, digital speaker systems, signage and A4T accessories. A4T (Accessories 4 Technology Limited) is a company in the UK that has partnered with Tannoy to bring their digital speaker line to US consumers.

A4T had some of their Simpsons accessories for the DS Lite on display in the suite, which are only currently available in the UK. One of our scheduled editor meetings came in and mentioned how much his son loves The Simpsons. Since the accessories aren't available in the U.S., we quickly moved on to other products that the editor could cover.

At the end of the show, instead of shipping The Simpsons accessories back to the UK, our client sent the Simpsons products to our office along with some other product they did not want to ship back. Tannoy had remembered how much the editor loved the Simpsons products, so we shipped The Simpsons accessories to the editor to give to his son. As you can see from the photo, he's quite thrilled with his new DS Lite carrying case and accessories. The editor responded with his thanks, "Please pass this on with my thanks...as you can see you both made one little boy very happy!"

We know a few other editors that are big fans of The Simpsons - be on the lookout, you may be receiving a surprise gift as well!
