With only two weeks remaining in the program, this is a reminder to submit all of your activity reports to us by the end of the day on March 31st.

 

This is your chance to turn in ALL UNREPORTED ACTIVITY for the entire program. It is also once final push to boost your point totals for the final round of CASH REWARDS!!!

 

 

Each of you has a commitment to us to earn at least 100 points by the end of the program; you will be receiving an email with your current points total. Those of you who have not yet reached your contracted 100 points, will need to take the time to upload your photos and reports this week.

 

 

Don't forget to include MGD 64 in your St. Patrick's Day celebrations today!

 

 

Cheers,

TEAM MGD 64 UPDATES

Posted by brianlaw Feb 27, 2009

 

Hey Everyone!

 

Can you believe February will already be over after tomorrow?! Where does the time go?

 

 

You all have been extremely active in promoting MGD 64 this past month which has been reflected in all of the activity reports coming in. Our Team Video Contest ended yesterday and we will be taking the next week to review the videos and determine the winners. Thank you to all who submitted a video!!

 

 

Just a reminder that we need you to submit all of your _un-reported _activity to date by Monday morning. The cash reward earners will be selected on Monday so be sure to keep yourself in the running!!

 

 

Earlier this week, the brand posted the MGD 64 product locator on www.mgd64.com. There is also a widget that is basically a smaller version of the locator that you can place on your personal pages and share with all of your friends. We highly encourage you to use and share this fun tool!

 

 

The widget is located: http://www.mgd64.com/locator/get_widget.html or can be downloaded from http://www.mgd64.com/.

 

 

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Xmas treats!

Posted by Linhog Dec 18, 2008

 

Thanks for the props, Brian, and thanks to MGD64 for the Christmas package!  I know a few folks who will be getting some keychains in their stockings this season! 

 

 

Just a heads up on the swimming front, I'll be hosting a one-hour Postal Swim (swim the hour, then mail in your yardage - ugh!) in January with a happy hour to follow at an MGD64 bar.  Details to follow!

 

 

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Holiday Photo Contest!!

Posted by brianlaw Dec 18, 2008

 

Per our email that went out last week, here are the details regarding the MGD64 Holiday Photo Contest!!

 

We are hosting this contest during the month of December and it will run through January 5th. You will have until 12:00pm PST on January 5th to get all of your photo submissions in to us.

 

 

WHAT: Here is your chance to get creative Team! We are looking for the best Holiday-themed photo tied to an MGD64 event/activity. The photos must be tasteful and appropriate to send to the client, so please keep that in mind when selecting which photo you will be entering.

 

 

HOW: To submit your photo for entry please follow these instructions:

 

  • All entries will be taken by email ONLY. Please send an email to teammgd64@active.com with your name, market, event location and a detailed description of the event/activity that you hosted on behalf of MGD64 and then attach your photo to the email.

 

*NOTE: you will still need to submit this event/photos to the Activity Reporting Form separately like you have been doing in order to receive your monthly points for the event. The contest submissions will be collected entirely separate from your weekly reporting through the team site.

 

  • Only one photo/entry per team member (if you over-submit we will only judge the last entry received from you)

 

JUDGING CRITERIA: Photos will be judged equally based on the following criteria:

 

  • o Creativity

  • o Relevance to this program and the MGD64 brand

  • o Positively promotes MGD64 brand

  • o Quality/clarity of image

 

Team Management will host the first round of judging and will narrow the entries down to the top five (5) photos.

 

Then, voting will be turned back into your hands. Each MGD64 team member will have the opportunity to cast their vote for the First, Second and Third place winners of the competition. (This will all be done via email)

Happy Thanksgiving TEAM MGD64!

 

Warm wishes for a wonderful holiday weekend with your family and friends.

 

With less than a week until December 1st we would like to encourage all of you to incorporate MGD 64 into your holiday festivities. It will go great with your home-cooked feasts as it is the lightest calorie beer on the market! Remember to take lots of photos and submit them with your reports by Sunday night.

 

 

Let's give it one last push for the month of November and show them what it is all about Team. As of today, the current market high score is as follows for the month of November:

 

 

  • Chicago: 40

 

The overall market high score for the month of November is currently 300 points. You still have 5 days to beat out the competition - we know that you can do it!

 

I look forward to hearing about your weekend's events when I pull the report on Monday and again have a very safe and happy holiday.

 

Warm regards,

 

Team MGD64 Management

Welcome to the Team MGD 64 Chicago Blog. We created this blog so you and your fellow MGD 64 ambassadors could collaborate and communicate with each other regarding all things MGD 64. Not only can you alert your peers about upcoming happy hours and social events, but also build personal relationships with your market and maybe find a new drinking buddy or two! Your market may prove to be your biggest help throughout your sponsorship because they are experiencing the same things you are.

 

 

Happy Blogging!

 

 

Cheers,

 

 

Team MGD 64 Manager
