Making TFF a great place to work

So we decided that it's time to make Ten Fast Feet the best marketing firm to work for in Nashville. Toward that end, we have just purchased a ping pong table, and have scheduled a massage therapist to come in every two weeks so everyone can get a 30 minute massage. Even better - and I'm super pumped about this - we're waiting on a basketball goal for Nerf ball games of horse.

For potential clients reading this, don't think we don't work hard. We actually work till all hours of the night and just need the occasional break to keep the creative juices flowing. It's quite the adventure keeping a whole bunch of creatives happy and productive, so we have to toss them a bone from time to time.

TFF has a standing challenge to any potential clients - if you can beat me - John Maddox - 2 out of 3 games of ping pong - you'll get 15% off your project. Think you're up to it? Give me a call and let's set up a time for you to show me up!
