We Got This: Elevate – BOCA’s SOTU 2022

By February 22, 2022 No Comments

Last week BOCA held its company-wide State of the Union meeting. This annual day-long event is not only informative, but also fun as the team gathered virtually to reflect on the past year and look forward to the one ahead. 

The theme for 2022 is elevate, and we are going to elevate BOCA by committing to our team and our clients. 

The meeting opened with a conversation about mindfulness communication in a virtual world. Led by communication expert Jennifer Kammeyer, BOCAteers discussed the challenges faced working as a team remotely and how to improve upon our skills. By making an effort to be present, listen actively and speak wisely, we can offer up our best selves for both our colleagues and our clients. 

Next, we transitioned to a close look at our agency cornerstones: staff nurturing, outstanding client service, quality product & operations and new business & brand. We talked a lot about all of the amazing things we have done throughout the past year to better our brand and our agency. A lot of time and thought went into building a stronger infrastructure, leading to better market value for our services. We’ve adopted multiple new business practices to ensure operational efficiency in all areas of the agency, such as instituting quarterly bonus programs, upleveling our IT services and expanding our global partnerships. 

In 2021 we also streamlined and enhanced our employee onboarding process to ensure that every new BOCA employee goes through a comprehensive training program to make sure they feel prepared to hit the ground running on day one. Our culture committee continues to host a steady stream of events and fun activities, including weekly virtual happy hours, game nights, and even some in-person meetups! We also reflected on things we can do better by talking with our clients and our team about changes they would like to see, because at BOCA we are constantly pursuing our mission: 

To be a communications agency impacting client businesses through creative and aggressive programs driven by passionate and savvy people.

We closed out the SOTU with a super fun, super creative, superhero sketching session! As we often mention, BOCA values its team members and all of their unique abilities. Following along to a tutorial created just for us by amazing animator Jonathan Peartee, we created our own superhero identities and powers. This came as no surprise to anyone, but WOW are BOCAteers talented! 

That’s a wrap on BOCA’s 2022 SOTU! The team is more committed than ever to elevate and tap into our collective superpowers to make this year the best yet. We got this!
