The Ties That Bind

Much has been written about the impact of smartphones and 24/7 business access on employees’ lives, both positive and negative. The influence of the internet and smartphones is just as intrusive and controlling of personal lives, especially for the younger generation, but is often ignored. When I was growing up in ancient times (the ‘60’s), if you had a significant other with whom you wanted to stay in touch, you had two choices: the telephone and snail mail. I had a boyfriend who went to college half the country away while I was still in high school. Phone calls were extremely expensive (AT&T Long Distance) and phones were devices shared by the entire family. Monopolizing the phone was frowned upon and ...

Let the Games Begin

Game night in or game night out? The concept of having games in bars is definitely not new. There are even bars that have a few classic board games such as Monopoly and Scrabble available upon request. However, the board games in a bar trend is certainly on the rise. Already a major hit in places such as China and Toronto, board game-themed bars and cafés are popping up all over the United States. Homefrys, a gaming event hosting company, offers a change of pace in the San Francisco area nightlife by connecting people through games such as Tabboo, Apples to Apples and Jenga. According to ...

Lights, Camera, Phone System?

Schupp Company has always been careful with its money.  Take, for example, our telephone system.  We acquired our original phones pre-owned back in 1993 when the company opened.  The system was expanded and upgraded through the years, but we still had “analogue” caller ID (read: the receptionist answered the phone and then called you and told you who was on the line).  Spit and baling wire were giving out, and every survey of the employees indicated that the phones were a weak link in our otherwise respectable technology infrastructure. Fast forward to September, 2009. An email arrived from a group promoting various telephone system vendors, and I was expecting to do the usual browse and toss.  Buried in the middle, ...

Schupp Company Best of St. Louis Tour 2011

Recently Schupp Company embarked on yet another adventurous Agency Wide Status Meeting (AWSM). The AWSM is designed to welcome new employees, discuss the current and future status of the agency and develop comradery amongst employees. Past AWSM events have been held at Missouri wineries and Cardinal baseball games as well as trips to Miami, Chicago and San Francisco. Since Schupp Company is considered one of the premier on-premise (bars, nightclubs, restaurants, etc.) marketing agencies in the world, agency president Mark Schupp decided to take his employees on an on-premise tour of St. Louis to identify “The Best Appetizer,” “The Best Signature Cocktail” and “The Best Beer Bar.” Prior to the outing, Schupp Company employees were asked to list their ...

The Post

7372 Manchester | St. Louis, MO 63143 | 314.645.1109 Our final destination of the tour was the Post. This sports bar atmosphere was the perfect place to end the day. The world famous wings we ordered were baked to perfection. Yes, that’s right, you can get them baked! This extra step gives the wings that elusive crispiness that everyone is searching for.  Many of our employees were having such a good time they didn’t want to leave—and some of them didn’t’!

Llywelyn’s Pub

4747 McPherson Ave. | St. Louis, MO 63108 | 314.361.3003 If you’ve never been to a true Celtic Pub, Llywelyn’ Pub is a must see! The old world atmosphere is inviting and makes you feel right at home. During our visit we ordered two of their flavorful flatbreads, the Guinness Steak and the Buffalo Chicken. Though the creamy Guinness Steak was the first to disappear, the tangy Buffalo Chicken wasn’t far behind. The beers of choice were Urban Chestnut Winged Nut, a local brew, and Leinenkugel’s Big ...

Bar Louie

14 Maryland Plaza | St Louis, MO 63108 | 314.678.3385 Over halfway through the tour, our fifth stop was Bar Louie in the Central West End. The service here was incredible from the moment we walked through the door. The Buffalo Wings and Mojitos we ordered ahead of time were evenly distributed on the high-top tables they reserved for us. For many Schupp Company employees, Bar Louie is no stranger. With a great food/beverage selection and atmosphere, it is a common gathering place amongst co-workers and ...
