New Business Unit Takes Root

With a long-term goal of “global beer domination,” Element has quietly launched a new division that will surprise few business partners. The agency, known for cutting edge interactive and design, could soon be brewing bee

Misophonia Public Service Announcement

It has come to our attention that perhaps Nikki Pribnow, one of our very own, may be deeply affected by misophonia. This serious disease was self-diagnosed through intensive online research using Google, the most comprehensive non-medical database.

The Office Trail Camera

After unsuccessfully walking the hallways for over a week, chasing after the very illusive Element employee, it is nice to finally see what these professionals looks like up close. And this is what we all want to see! Rut-crazed employees cruising during daylight hours. With their pens in hand and hair fluffed up, these employees are ready to work!

The Big Wheel in the Sky

It is with the saddest heart that we must pass on the following news. Please join us in remembering one of the greatest small animal food-packaging models and office pets that we have been blessed with knowing. Stoli the Russian dwarf hamster passed away yesterday doing something he loved, running in his plastic ball. He was 2.5 years-old.

Element Nature Center

Throughout the year, the Element Nature Center has been home to a number of animals. Kittens, fish, baby Killdeer, Kiar Olson, butterflies, and a large collection of spiders have all called ENC home, but today, the team welcomed a new guest- the North American Gray Tree Frog.

The Case of the Missing Toaster

The Toaster. A common household appliance often used for browning bread, bagels, English muffins, and even your occasional toaster strudel. Only after one truly understands the importance of this appliance, can one understand how hard it would be to live without. That’s what employees are going through on a day-to-day basis here at Element.

Element: Award Winning Agency

Element has been recognized for a number of accomplishments, and within the last 49 years, its employees have received more than 17 trophies, and 8 plaques, making this a record-breaking half-century for Element.

Spring Cleaning

With the first signs of warm weather popping up in Wisconsin, Element Project Manager, Sue Barrett, is cracking the whip on spring-cleaning. “I’ve already scrubbed the walls AND organized the kitchen dishes by size and color. I’m planning on pulling weeds, and planting flowers this afternoon. But that’s if I finish defrosting and cleaning out the freezer in time. And, I’ve permanently eliminated countertop crumbs from the toaster by simply throwing it away … we could use the extra cupboard space anyway.”

Interactive Department Attends Royal Wedding

A few months back, Web Developer Ross Atkinson requested a vacation day for Friday, April 29. No one thought anything unusual until ABC News posted this incriminating photo. “I didn’t think anyone at work would actually be following the royal wedding coverage,” stated Atkinson. “What can I say, I think Will and Kate are a great couple. So I may have been a little too involved in the ceremony, but I wore my good flannel.”

Element Granada

Due to the rapid growth at Element Headquarters in De Pere, WI, ownership has decided to expand internationally, opening an office in Granada, Spain.

“It just made sense that Spain would be our next location. Megan [McNulty] speaks broken Spanish almost fluently, and nearly every one of us knows words like ‘cerveza’ and ‘vino’. It should be a really smooth transition,” says Element Owner, Lance Peroutka.
