Everyone Gets Their Grub On at Ogilvy’s Lonche 2.0
Friday, April 4th, 2008Who would’ve thought that mixing Lunch and the Web 2.0 crowd would be so popular? Well, maybe it’s the free food, maybe it’s all of those nerdy conversations, or maybe it was Ogilvy’s “Lonche 2.0″ theme, seasoned with maracas, sombreros and of course a sumptuous burrito bar from Mexico Au Parc (our favorite lil’ South Park joint).Lunch 2.0 is the prefect two-hour window that allows people to mix, mingle and chat it up with fellow VCs, freelancers, PR peeps, bloggers, developers, designers, biz dev’ers, tech professionals and industry influencers.Created by my dear friend Terry Chay, Mark Jen and the amazingly fashionable Bernadette Balla, Lunch 2.0 has proven to be a total success in the Bay Area, Silicon Valley and beyond. So do people really come to get to know more about a company? The employees? To learn more about what Ogilvy does? Judging from the feedback we received, people really didn’t know much about Ogilvy’s 360 DI division. People were asking tons of questions on what types of services we provide, commenting on how the social media and WOMM markets are growing and how we plan to be the top agency in this space, as well as wanting to learn about some of our case studies and what was the “secret sauce” to our success (of course I didn’t divulge that!) It was exciting to know that everyone’s ears were perked and if they didn’t know what 360 DI was, now they do!
