Doner Media

To celebrate an end to another successful week and America’s birthday, yesterday afternoon, we partied on the lawn with live music, food and refreshments.  At this week’s Dunkin’ Doner party we were lucky to have Detroit-based Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. who performed a set of original songs along with a few well known classics.  While performing, they also encourage the creative team to consider them for commercials – not a bad idea considering the positive response they received from the crowd! The band recently signed a record deal with Warner Brothers and is scheduled to play at Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits in the coming months.  Along with the staples expected at Dunkin’ Doner, there was a special treat of pulled pork sandwiches with the most patriotic fixings including barbeque sauce, coleslaw and pickles.  The only thing missing was fireworks, but given the time of the celebration, the sunshine and gorgeous weather sufficed.

We wish everyone a fun and safe 4^th of July!

We’re pleased to announce that Tena Hermance has rejoined Doner as senior VP, brand leader.  In this position she will be responsible for the direct response brand positioning and strategic planning for several of our accounts in addition to playing a role in the agency’s new business development.

The first Dunkin’ Doner party went off without a hitch yesterday afternoon, even with all the rain! We kicked off summer and the upcoming long weekend with great music, delicious food and thirst quenching drinks!  We were honored to have entertainment from The Sights, a well-known Detroit blues-rock-pop band that Rolling Stone called “a new Detroit-garage band that comes in colors.”  It was great to take a break from the day to mingle with co-workers and play a little “throw the hula-hoop around the Sheep” for a chance to win a limited edition Dunkin’ Doner t-shirt!  It’s going to be a great summer with many more opportunities to mingle, eat, drink and dance.

Happy Memorial Day!

Did you know that cardiovascular disease is the number 1 killer of all Americans? In fact, someone dies of CVD every 38 seconds!

For the past month here at Doner we’ve been working together to help raise money for the American Heart Association and to be a part of the 2011 Detroit Heart Walk! We’re proud to say that we exceeded our goal of $5,000 by raising more than $7,500 for this great cause. 

The walk took place this past weekend where several of our employees joined together with over 20,000 people to walk through downtown Detroit and take a stand against heart disease! We started off in Ford Field where we heard from Detroit mayor, Dave Bing and had the chance to participate in some exciting warm up exercises. We then took to the streets of Detroit for a three mile walk which ended through the Lions tunnel and onto Ford Field. It was an inspiring event and we’re happy that Doner was able to be a part of it.
