The Dawn of a New Day
February 7, 2008 by Ali Lastrapes, Marketing in The Planet
Dec 12, 2007: The Planet Day. The day we debuted our new office space to employees, colleagues, customers and friends. The day we finally saw the new place we’d call home, and the beginning of a new and exciting chapter for The Planet.
We captured the events on film — the speeches, the awards, the ribbon cutting… lunch. (mmmm, lunch.) From that we’ve made a little montage of the day — the 2 minute and 30 second version if you will. We highlighted pieces of Doug’s speech, shots of the office, but most of all, the people who work here. At the end of the day, that’s what matters. The people make this company what it is. We work hard because we believe in what we are doing for our customers and for this industry as a whole. We enjoy what we do and where we do it. That’s The Planet difference. It shows through our work, the products we offer, the services we provide and the pride we take in our company.
CEO Doug Erwin often illustrates his ideal work environment with one simple phrase: Yabba Dabba Doo! He wants his employees to jump out of bed every morning ready to go with their feet hitting the ground running just like Fred Flintstone.
Here’s a glimpse of what makes this place so special. Yabba Dabba Doo, indeed.

Gerald- it’s generic production music. If you’d like the actual name, I can ask the videographer. Email me and I’ll get that back to you. alastrapes@theplanet.com

Fred Flintstone yelled “yabba dabba doo!” when it was the end of his shift and time to go home - not when he arrived at the office.
