The MiX Women's Day

About a month ago during one of our weekly Marketing team meetings, our Manager, Sabine bought up that National Women's Day is around the corner. I thought, cool, public holiday = sleep late, chill, sleep and chill again. "Where are we going to have it?" were the next words out of her mouth. Some planning, a new venue and some great prizes later and it all turned into this mornings event.

National Women's Day may have been on Monday 9 August but we invited all the women working at the Stellenbosch office to a morning breakfast at Stellenbosch Lodge. As our glorious ladies started arriving, they were given a warm drink to start on a very chilly Cape Town morning. With everyone in their seats, our Marketing Director, Cath Lewis took the spot by the fireplace and introduced everyone to the 2nd MiX Telematics Women's Day event.

With breakfast finished, we got onto the important part: the lucky draw. We were able to receive 3 goodie bags from Discovery, 3 vouchers from Stellenbosch Lodge which included a Spa treatment, breakfast for two and a 2 night stay. The last gift was a glamourous pair of gloss black oversized Pradas courtesy from the awesome Sunglass Hut's @Wedaad, whose phone call on Friday really happily surprised me. Guess there is a reason why I (and a lot of people I know) show support into brands that put an effort into their customers.

Cath wrote a post a while back called 'Thoughts on MiX' to which I mentioned that I was thinking about writing something similar, especially from the new kid on the block. Ideas like innovation, never a dull moment, passion - a very important aspect to work, in my opinion and lastly the way they value the company culture, which has rolled over to the very talented staff. There is this value on the people that work here which makes it great like a big family (full of Apple fanboys & girls), always wanting the best for you when they're not too busy creating new innovative products and solutions for their customers.

The winners of the prizes were:

• Lauren Young - Goodie bag from Discovery
• Bronia Paulse – breakfast for 2 at Stellenbosch Lodge
• Radheeka Reyatt – 2 nights stay at Stellenbosch Lodge
• Miriam Phuthumani – Goodie bag from Discovery
• Dandeline Philander - Goodie bag from Discovery
• Nicci Jenkins – Spa treatment from Stellenbosch Lodge
• Concetta Isolano – Prada glasses from Sunglass Hut
