Google Geek Night

Posted by danny on June 23, 2009 in Random |

Hey guys, sorry I haven’t been updating this blog. Been a busy little bee! Thought I’d do a quick update and share with you guys my trip to Google‘s office tonight for an event called ‘Google Geek Night’.

It’s basically a short meeting between Google and their agency partners to give a presentation on the online search demand and insights into user search behaviour, more specifically focused towards online shopping. Oh yeah, after that it’s all about drinks, cannapés and socialising. I was happy that they served Becks beer, one of my favourite beers and didn’t go cheap with local beers.

Each of us also got a Google pack which consists of a Google cap and some Google ‘goo’. Yes, really it’s goo. I’m too lazy to take photos so you’ll just have to use your imagination :)

Above is the First Rate team after a few drinks and posing with our Google pack. Produce placement there, hehe.

We also got a tour around the Google office but unfortunately I wasn’t allowed to take photos. It’s their brand spanking new office located at Pyrmont, just opposite Starcity Casino. As expected, they had pretty cool decorations all around the office and a beautiful view overlooking the harbour.

Above is the First Rate team with our Google account manager, Juvita, who I bug a lot when I need help from Google. You can also see Arnold (bottom left) posing gracefully for the camera, haha. Oh, we were all looking at different directions too because there was a couple of cameras taking pictures of us.

Anyways, the night beckons. Hopefully I have more time to churn out more Google Analytics tutorials later on.
