Monday, August 2nd, 2010 | NetSearch Direct News | Comments Off

“Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller

The Impak Marketing family gathered in the spring to sponsor and raise money for a good cause. The first annual “18 Holes 4 Brody Golf Tournament”  was held to raise money for Brody Bell.

Brody is the son of Scott Bell, one of our Valpak team members. Brody has been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis and this event was held to raise money for Brody’s medical savings account. Thanks to the golf tournament’s proceeds, sponsors and participants, we raised over $11,000. Everyone’s support and participation made the day an enormous success!

Thank you to all of our sponsors for their support.

Impak Annual Football 2009

Friday, November 13th, 2009 | NetSearch Direct News | No Comments

Its that time again at Impak Marketing where all child companies get together for some healthy competition.  Team #1 vs. Team #2, the names are both creative and fitting.

Team #1, aka the younger guys, started the game off with a strong lead 3-1.  During halftime, I’m pretty sure that Team #2 had special water since they tied it up forcing the game into overtime.  The result = the older guys won.

Rematch anyone?

Community Service at 240 Feet

Thursday, September 17th, 2009 | NetSearch Direct News | No Comments

You know him as one of our top sales leaders and client advocates. Maybe you’ve attended his seminars or webinars, or read his blog content. Perhaps you’ve seen him around town, driving like a bat out of  – well, you get the picture. Our very own beloved Jason Moreau, the one you’ve come to know and love, will be throwing himself off the side of a 24-story building in downtown Richmond, VA all in the name of a good cause.

Jason will be helping out fundraising efforts for the Special Olympics by hoping to raise $1,500 by October 9th. If he makes the goal, he’ll be rappelling down the side of the Suntrust building just in time for the Richmond Folk Festival.

For information about the event, please visit the event website at www.OverTheEdgeVa.com. All donations can be made at www.FirstGiving.com/JasonMoreau. Since every amount given is appreciated for this wonderful cause, there are no minimums set.

Oh, did we mention the mere thought of going down that building sends Jason’s heart racing, gets him all nervous and makes his palms sweat? This is one even you won’t want to miss!

Mary Toves, our new summer intern started a few weeks ago and will begin her Masters at the prestigious Brand Center at VCU this fall.  Her desk sits in front of a storage closet, so I thought, ‘why not,  Lets scare her. What else is that closet going to be used for?’  Here’s my grand attempt:

Attempt 1: fail

I recruited some help.  Jason… shall we give it another go?

Attempt 2: Success!

Welcome to the Crazy NetSearch Direct Family, Mary.
