Whassup, Aquent?

I said I was going to use this confounded blog to talk more about what Aquent is up to, and, tarnation, I'm going to do it!

First of all, back in December, our DC office landed a $5.2 million contract to provide the Library of Congress with web services for their New Visitors Experience Project. The contract runs through June 2010. Nice!

Secondly, our Detroit office was selected by the readers of Corp! Magazine as a "Best of Michigan Business" in the "Staffing Firms" category. We've got a great team of hard-working, experienced, and friendly folks working in Detroit and it's nice to see them recognized by their community.

Finally, although it might not be news to some of you, even I sometimes forget the extent of Aquent's reach around this vast green globe. I mean, we've got 5 offices in Australia, 5 more in Japan, 3 in China, and 2 in India, not to mention offices strewn about Europe from Warsaw to Barcelona and from Manchester to Prague. We've got 120 staffers in London alone (which may make London a bigger Aquent-town than Boston, where we've got our headquarters - got to check on that)! Who knew?

In other words, people who work for Aquent work on cool projects in cool places for a cool company.

Wait, wait, wait. That sounded like marketing puffery, so let me rephrase it: Some people who work for Aquent work on some cool projects in some cool places for some cool companies. And you could be one of them!

(Ugh. I try to dial down the puffery and I turn my moment of honesty into a crass promotion. I'm so ashamed.)
