10 years of tictoc

10 years of tictoc

We're all grown up from our humble beginnings back in 1999 when the Power Mac G4 was the talk of the creative town and email was still somewhat unheard of! Now we're in double figures (as my Granny used to say!) so can start staying up after 9 oclock and all the talk is in weird jargon like UX and tweeting!

We had a few half lager shandies on Friday night and some haggis neeps n tatties to mark this momentous occasion and have created a nice widget on the tictoc homepage to celebrate these past hectic years!

Have a laugh at some of the pics from Friday night and feel free to post any comments or memories you feel we'd appreciate (happy ones please!)

    Thanks for music...

    The playlist complied by all tictocers in Spotify over the course of last week was a wonder to behold.
    From Val Halen to the Proclaimers they were all in there.

    Great fun had by all, thanks for the memories :)

    Happy BIrthday! I think we must have been one of your first clients as I clearly remember first meeting Mel and David in the back of our old Cumbernauld office in 1999. It was the initial enthusiasm shown by you guys that seemed to match our Company (small, but perfectly formed) and made us get you on board. A new logo, a major product launch, catalogues, flyers, brochures, e-newsletters and two overhauls of the website later I still see tictoc as a key partner in our development, particularly as we exploit the digital world. Very best wishes from Link and a special thanks to Fiona, Kerry, Jo & Alan.

    Congratulations to all of you! Is it really 10 years? I also remember a pre-2000 visit from Mel and David. You've done excellent work for me at 3 different companies - Mack Technologies, Stephen Clark Fabrications and now Carron Phoenix. Is this a record? Where's my loyalty bonus?

    Thanks for the nice words chaps!

    David - I too remember very well visiting your Cumbernauld offices and learning all about the weird and wonderful world of your product range and sourcing labels that would work in sub zero temperatures! It's been fantastic seeing the company grow over the years and move from your little offices near the airstrip to your current home in Bellshill.

    Neil - I remember being amazed when making a call to Carron Phoenix to find out the name of their new Marketing person and thinking there can't possibly be two Neil Clarks and sure enough it was your good self. It was also fun and games when you worked at Stephen Clark as at that time we had a client contact called Stephen Clark therefore had many confused phone messages along the lines of "is that Neil Clark from Stephen Clark or is it actually Stephen Clark the person"!
