A Hot Night at the Frosty Ball

Friday, December 9th, 2011

Frosty was ready to roll at the BzzAgent holiday party Thursday night. The theme of this year’s party was “The Frosty Ball” and it turned out to be a hot night for good food and frosty drinks.

With the acquisition by dunnhumby this summer, 2011 was a very special year for BzzAgent. There have been many people who helped build BzzAgent over the years, so we wanted to thank former employees and include them in the party this year. It was great to see so many of them show up.

The party was held at The Gallows restaurant in the south end of Boston, and the food was outstanding. Next time you are out on the town in Boston looking for a good restaurant, swing by The Gallows for dinner and make sure you grab an order of their Scotch Eggs. Out of this world.

We also mixed it up with a giant bee hive ice luge and one of the coolest looking bee ice sculptures I’ve ever seen. Check out all the fun on our BzzAgent Events Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/BzzAgentEvents.

But don’t just take my word for it, follow the #frostyball discussion throughout the night on Twitter.

If you are in Boston next week for the FutureM conference you still have time to witness the TACOPOCALYPSE.  This is our massive taco party for the Boston tech community featuring a variety of taco styles, hot sauce bar and a taco dessert bar.

It’s all coming down on Sept 14 at 6:30 pm at the Rattlesnake Bar at 382 Boylston St in Boston.  A limited number of free tickets are available, so get off your tacos and reserve yours today!

Besides, you might come face-to-face with the taco man…

Or see one raise the roof …

And if you are lucky,  he might even challenge you to a match…


BzzAgent’s Sausage Fest at the School of WOM

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

WOMMA’s School of WOM event is next week in Chicago and it’s going to be one big sausage fest.  That’s because BzzAgent is throwing a party with some of the best tasting sausage, German beer and entertainment in the city.

If you are attending the School of WOM event, stick around the Swissotel after the sessions on the 10th for a taste of Oktoberfest in the spring. We’ll have hands-on sausage making demonstrations, a hopping beer hall, and just about all the German food you can eat.  Rumor has it there will even be a dancing exhibition that everyone will be tweeting about.

We aren’t just there for fun and games though – BzzAgent will also be leading an educational session with our friends from Symphony IRI.  The session, “The Naked Truth About Social Media ROI”, is an expansion of our popular ROI ebook.   J.P. Beauchamp, SVP, Consumer & Shopper Marketing at SymphonyIRI Group will join our own Malcolm Faulds and Steve McLaughlin for this new session on how CPG companies and large brands are using measurement practices like matched market testing and market mix modeling to measure social media sales.

Check out the event site and circle May 11th at 10:30 am on your agenda so you don’t miss this class.  Extra credit will be given to anyone showing up in their lederhosen from the party the night before.

Who says school can’t be this much fun?

A Party With Rudolph and a Lot of Bzz

Monday, December 6th, 2010

BzzAgent’s employee holiday party is this week… and as you can see from this image we are doing something unique. You didn’t expect stuffed chicken breasts and bowls of cheese doodles at the local Holiday Inn did you? The theme is “Roast Rudolph” and it will feature Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer themed food, drinks and entertainment at the Villa Victoria Center for the Arts.

Our spin on the traditional holiday party is generating some buzz. The Boston Business Journal talked to Dave Balter about it in their article about the rise of holiday parties this year.

To put on an event like this, we teamed with our friends at Eat. Eat runs sold-out specialty food events all over the city including our “Monsters of Pork” event during the FutureM conference this fall. If you weren’t there, here’s what you missed.

What makes Eat so unique is that they plan and promote all their events exclusively through social media. We caught up with Eat’s co-founder Aaron Cohen to learn a little more about this social food phenomenon.
