Our Beloved mascot, Sam Skunk, does indeed have a story. He was not simply thought up one day on a whim but rather he effected our day to day lives here at Spring Above Marketing.
During our first year we encountered a bit of a problem, a smelly little skunk decided that below our office deck was a superb place to call home during the cold winter months. The big problem was that this skunk was a timid little guy and frequently emitted a rather unpleasant odor quite often. The day to day activities continued and as the days drew on this little skunks presence was becoming quite commonplace.
Eventually through a series of elaborate traps (non-lethal of course) our friend the skunk departed and was set free in the wilds of Vermont. The skunk was gone but not forgotten (in our minds and our noses). It occurred to us that this skunk had made a lasting impression on us during our first few months, we developed a ritual of ignoring his odor during the day. Basically he had become part of Spring Above Marketing in a non-traditional sense so after some talk he became Sam, our smelly mascot helping us find stinky websites in need of some help.
Sam Skunk has now become a pretty integral part of our marketing efforts. He shows up on our booth graphics, ads, website, and more. Between the curly spring logo and Sam it remains to be seen what more people identify with!
