Your workplace officially has permission to go bananas in the name of fun. Nerf gun fights (you\u2019ll shoot your eye out!), snacks, games, puzzles, crazy hair, pickle eating contests&#8230;you name it. It\u2019s a good team-building, morale-boosting opportunity for you and your staff, and also a great way to show your customers the human side of your brand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Outmark\u00ae it\u2019s no surprise we love this day since we live and breathe, \u201cIt\u2019s fun to be good.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having fun <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">should<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> be part of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">every<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> day for your team, not just work anniversaries, employee birthdays, or a day you may never have heard of before you read this. Even Nerf gun fights get old after a few hundred battles though, so making fun happen is a deliberate process that takes planning, time, and a budget. To get started, define what \u201cfun\u201d means and map it to your company culture and brand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Outmark, fun means we surround ourselves with team members, clients, and vendors who love what they do and are excited about what\u2019s to come. It means getting warm fuzzies when our client is thrilled with their new creative, ringing a cowbell when goals are crushed, counting down the seconds to a website launch, or feeling goosebumps down our arms when we watch our client\u2019s new video. It\u2019s laughing at ridiculous memes, being silly in Slack, having absurd on-hold music and bantering back and forth with our equally fun clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, yes, definitely take advantage of the official \u201cNational Have Fun at Work Day.\u201d But we urge you to take a step back and consider how you can weave more fun into your work\u2014<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">every<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January 28th is &#8220;National Have Fun at Work Day.&#8221; Yep, there\u2019s a day for that&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,39,50,1095],"tags":[472,2626,2669,1443],"class_list":{"0":"post-14587","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-announcement","7":"category-fun","8":"category-marketing-outsourcing","9":"category-outsource-marketing","10":"tag-culture","11":"tag-fun","12":"tag-outsource-marketing","13":"tag-team"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.0 (Yoast SEO v27.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What&#039;s fun about work?
