Last week we had our office warming. Walked in and someone had sent us a cake from a company called daymaker. Genuinely the best pitch I've seen this year. Took the meeting before I'd finished a slice.

Someone just came and delivered an absolutely massive cake to our office as a pitch for their company.

Definitely one way to get attention! Who wants some cake? 🎂
