How is Pop That keeping safe in lock-down?

Pop That has been kicking it in lock-down over the past few weeks, along with the rest of the country, so we wanted to highlight some of the ways our team has been staying connected and keeping sane while we’re stuck indoors.

The silver lining has been an opportunity to breathe during a very busy year.

“It’s given me a chance to relax after a crazy past few months,” says Ben, our Creative Director, “we were traveling all around the country to work on cool shoots.”

Despite the chance for some much-needed relaxation, the peace and quiet is starting to make him uneasy; “the real work is outside, it’s about going to places, meeting people, and capturing moments.”

The rest of the team feels much the same way, “when your only choices are to work at home, relax at home, and socialize at home, it can be quite draining,” notes Charisse, our Production Manager, “as a creative agency, we’re used to things moving fast - it’s nice to slow down, but sometimes my brain feels foggy and uncertain.”

While the lock-down has put a pause on several creative projects, others are proceeding unhindered. “We have a pretty kick-ass and robust system for remote work, so for me it’s been business as usual,” says Marketing Specialist Paul, “but I do miss the odd face-to-face meeting over tea.”
