Another year...Another CUBIES...

That’s a wrap on another year, which can only mean one thing…time for The Cubies!

But what is exactly IS a Cubie?!

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill office Christmas party, but a chance to come together to recognise those teammates who have gone above and beyond and those wonderful tech for good projects that get us out of bed every single day. This long-standing and beloved tradition is infused with ALL the Cube quirk, magic, and camaraderie that we have all come to know and love from the agency. The tradition of it has always been a huge part of the culture and life at the agency.

With 2022 about to be firmly behind us the team had a busy year to celebrate!

So on a chilly December day, we came together (in the new normal that is a hybrid event) to recognise the incredible impact our work has had and the people who have worked so hard on it!

Recognising the team’s achievements

The CUBIES aims to recognise the team for their exceptional efforts and achievements every year. From ‘Most Inspirational Human’ to ‘2022 Superhero’ and ‘Excellence in Entertainment’. Here are a few of this year’s categories:

And that concludes another spectacular Cubies! I consider myself extremely lucky to work alongside the most ridiculously talented team and on the kinds of projects we do. Every single one of us has a part to play in 3 Sided Cube being able to have the impact that we do, so taking the time to celebrate that feat is nothing short of incredible!
