Last week at Pixo’s last staff meeting of the year, we took time out from the goofy (favorite Slack of the year) and serious (our most memorable client moments) to recognize eight team members for upholding our values throughout the year. We call these our Core Value Awards, and every year various teams at Pixo select one of their peers to recognize. Top row: Lindsey Gates-Markel, Joanna Troutman, Matt Fotzler, Emilee Noh.

Melinda Miller and Jason Berg became the new owners of Pixo in July after buying out founder Lori Gold Patterson. Before the buyout, Melinda and Jason had been effectively running the company since January 2019 and have been part of Pixo’s leadership team since 2013 and 2015, respectively. Melinda serves as the company’s General Manager, where she focuses on managing and organizing Pixo’s consulting team.

It’s become a Pixo tradition to reflect on our values at the end of every year by honoring eight Pixonauts who embody those values. Which means every December, there is a mad rush to collect the awards from the last year’s winners, organize small groups of Pixonauts to choose among their colleagues for a category, and prep for the ceremony. In our last meeting of the year, we share reflections about the year — both funny and serious — and cap it off with the Core Value awards.

In what is now an annual tradition, Pixonauts gathered for our last staff meeting of the year and celebrated 2018. In addition to a slideshow recapping our year with both laughter (oh, the GIFs and Slack spoofs!) and serious reflections (Kleenex, anyone?), we recognized members of the Pixo team who exemplify our values. .
