That’s A Wrap, Week Ending February 3rd
The Roundpeg crew enjoyed a team building trip to the Super Bowl festivities last Friday. Have you had a chance to check out the fun? Although it’s easy to get distracted this week we continue to publish at least one blog post daily. If you’ve been visiting Super Bowl Village on a daily basis you may have missed out. Now’s your chance to catch up. Saturday - Faces of Roundpeg: New Characters – Jenna and Peter We are a bit more polished, more professional and more grown up thanks to our newest cast members.

read moreWhy Playing Hooky Can Help Your Business
At Roundpeg, we love to play hooky. It’s not that we don’t love our jobs or aren’t passionate about marketing and web design and all that other good stuff. But sometimes, you have to take a step back from your work and take a day for other things. That’s why last Friday we cancelled work. Oh, sure, a few of us did a couple of hours of work in the morning or a smidgen in the afternoon, but most of our day was focused purely on having fun and enjoying the crazy carnival atmosphere that is the Super Bowl in Indianapolis. We even got paid for our time. It’s a pretty...

Another week where if we waited an hour here in Indianapolis, the weather changed. We’ve had ice, snow and on the rare side for January, thunderstorms. Our blogs this week seem to have followed the pattern of one of our favorite interview questions…so weather you favor words, pictures or numbers, we’ve covered it in at least one of our blogs during the past week. If you’ve missed one or several, here’s a quick recap: Saturday – Faces of Roundpeg: The Boy Band Lorraine’s ode to Taylor & Jay and the way things used to be. Sunday – Make...

No matter what business you’re in, from dentistry to landscaping to marketing, there’s one fact you have to confront: you can’t save everyone from making their own mistakes. No matter how much you want people to succeed, some people will insist on ignoring your good, well-intentioned advice, and they will fail as a result. Hopefully it’s only a minor stumbling block in their path, but sometimes the consequences can be catastrophic: a patient who didn’t heed doctor’s orders and died, or a company that wouldn’t listen to sound marketing advice and had...

My husband loves football. He is from Texas, a die hard Cowboy’s fan, he has also learned to love the Colts. Great, twice as much football on Sunday afternoons. For him, Super Bowl Sunday is a national holiday. For me, it’s an advertising event, time to watch the best Madison Avenue has to offer. It is also a day to test my creative cooking skills. Can I match the food to the teams competing? So when Super Bowl fever began to catch hold in Indy, I didn’t get it. I thought, it’s just a game. But I was wrong. Hosting a Super Bowl is about economic and...
read moreTwo Years of Madness
I didn’t want to come to my interview at Roundpeg. I wanted to go to the zoo. It was late January, 2010. I had been un- or underemployed for the eight months since my college graduation. I’d worked retail, I’d done some contract writing work for a local university and most recently, I’d been laid off from a part-time job that I hated but wished would go full-time because it paid well and I wanted a job–any job. I was down-in-the-dumps on that January day when Roundpeg called and told me they didn’t have any jobs available, but they’d talk to me about...
