GG Costume Throwdown

UPDATE: Thanks for your votes. In a nail-biter of a contest, the designers took 76% of the votes. The other teams are sure they were sympathy votes. (Posted by one of the losers.)

At Greteman Group, we don’t really need an excuse to dress up and have a good time. So we’re all pretty big fans of a holiday that encourages such behavior.

This year, for Halloween, we decided to split up into three teams – designers, account strategists and support – for a costume battle royale.

And now, we turn to you, our faithful, dedicated, beautiful readers, to help us decide which team will win the inaugural GG Costume Contest.

So take a look at the photos and then vote on your favorite.

Designers – Dia de los Muertos

Support Team – Sickos

Account Strategists – Design Envy

You guys are all truly NUTS – but I love you! Happy All Hallows Eve!

These were all fabulous costumes! I love that you are having fun at work. Happy Halloween!

OK, you guys hooked me on this one. I voted for the designers (love those masks and am a sucker for anything with a guitar in it) but I’m suspicious that they were working with a bigger budget! I love the account strategists poke at the designers. I remember sitting in class at the Harvard GSD almost 20 yrs ago and noticing that I was the only one not wearing black boots – no kidding, the ONLY one. I think it’s time to move on designers. And the support team – wow, you guys have got it tough. Dr. Jones’ prescription is that you throw on a mask and party like the Dia de los Muertos this weekend!
Y’all have a great weekend and keep up the awesome work!!!

Thanks for letting me vote. Glad I was working Saturday. Only way to get time to do this sort of thing.

It looks to me like the designers had too much time on their hands, what with the making paper mache masks, elaborate costumes and all. Apparantly while the designers were goofing off, the account strategists tried to fill the creative void and pick up the slack, but all the changes just made the support staff sick. :-)

Seriously, it looks like everyone had a good time. Continue having fun at work, and I look forward to voting again next year.
