You’ve heard the stat right? Something like 85% of businesses fail within the first 5 years? I just realized as I was going through some tax-time paperwork that Amplify Interactive officially opened for business on March 5 2003, which makes us 5 years old as of today.

That’s cause for celebration, right?

I would gladly take the staff out for a full-day or even half-day party today to celebrate. Problem is, we have so much work that there’s no time for that this week… or next. Trust me – we’ll find a way to get ‘er done.

I suppose we should put together some kind of get together for clients, partners, etc to help us celebrate as well… I will get to work on that. Our office isn’t necessarily worth visiting for an open-house… so, I’m open to suggestions.  If it was your 5-year anniversary – what would you do? (comment below)

Now – I need to set a recurring calendar appointment so I remember ahead of time next year… and the year after.
