Last week Saatchi & Saatchi NY proved we’re elite in something not always associated with the ad world: sprinting. That’s right, the first ever PUMA NY Sprint Your Halls Off Challenge was a massive success for Hudson/Houston.
The 18th floor of Saatchi New York was transformed into a chanting, cheering, competitive clamor as we applauded colleagues racing past the PUMA Speed Trap: a machine that clocks your sprinting speed in MPH. The Speed Trap determined that Saatchi NY’s Meghan Sturges and Saatchi X’s Chris DeLorenzo, Aimee LoDuca and Griffin Monahan were the office’s four fastest women and men.
And while being the fastest people in the company would be enough of an achievement for most, the crew took the “Nothing is Impossible” ideology with them to the finals at PUMA City, South Street Seaport – running against finalists from Zenith, Yahoo, Fast Company, Google, Vice, Droga 5 and Yodle. And guess what… THEY WON!
Their speeds were astounding:
Griffin brought in the fastest men’s time in NYC at 20.39 MPH
Chris’ time was close behind at a shocking 19.89 MPH
Meghan ran faster than any female competitor at 17.97 MPH
Aimee was right behind her at an amazing 17.37 MPH
For their prize: a massive trophy and a new PUMA Chalk Ping Pong Table designed by Aruliden. You’re welcome James Cooper.
Congratulations to Aimee, Chris, Griffin and Meghan and thanks to everyone who participated in this [surprisingly and incredibly] fun event.
