People in my team go out of their way to help me
The annual two day January away day not only allows the whole agency to hear and be involved in hearing, presenting and writing the agency's plans for the year ahead, but also allows for a highly memorable two day bonding event. After a morning of presentations, the agency then broke into teams to play famous TV quiz shows, including 'Deal or No Deal'. In the evening the annual 'Shoscars' took place, an event that celebrates all the agency's work and people over the past year. Ten campaign awards were given, including Campaign of the Year, Account Team of the Year, Idea of the Year and Event of the Year. Then 'people' awards were given in a second round of hotly contested awards called the HotShots which include Shiner of the Year, the Founders Award (someone who has made an outstanding contribution to the agency's values) and Communicator of the Year (outstanding excellence in their work). There is no greater accolade at Shine than being voted for an award by an outstanding group of peers.
