As Thanksgiving draws near, and 2017 draws to a close, we thought it would be nice to once again share the things we are thankful for here at Spafax.

1. Our Clients

As long as we're a service business, our clients will be at the top of this list. For those who joined us this year: we’re thrilled to have you onboard. For those who have stuck with us for years: we wouldn’t be here today without your support. For those who don't work with us (yet): we’d love for you to join us.

2. Our Partners

All of our businesses require the support of a whole host of partner companies. Content creators, distributors, production labs, printers, designers, copywriters, translators, technicians, producers, couriers and many more all play a critical role in our success. We would not get by without a little help from our professional friends.

3. Our Cool Party Vibe

At Spafax, we have a bit of a reputation for our annual party at APEX EXPO, and this year’s function on the Long Beach waterfront may have taken the cake. When you combine a top-notch DJ, Double-Double’s from In-n-Out Burger and a chocolate fountain . . . good things generally happen.

4. Our Wanderlust

When you have a roster of international clients and a dozen offices around the world, travel is a part of the game. For many of us, this means we have had the opportunity to experience exciting destinations that we might not otherwise have seen. In fact, we love travel so much, we partnered with our friends at Business Traveller magazine to produce a new show about it.

5. Our Colleagues

It’s probably fair to say that this has been our busiest year ever. We have been able to meet our clients’ needs through the incredible dedication of our global team. We know that we can rely on our co-workers, wherever they may be.

Also in keeping with tradition, here are a few more things that didn’t make the big list, but which we are still very thankful for . . .

Our super sweet 4K drone video fly-overs of Southern California display on our 12-foot vertical video wall at APEX EXPO.

Our newly refurbished office plaza at our Orange County office (with daily food trucks)!

The annual Great Spafax Bake Off at our London office.

Business trips to sunny Cannes, France for both Cannes Film Festival and MIPCOM.
