GREETINGS FORMER
HANOVERIANS
RINGING IN 2015!
Happy 2015 to all! December 2014 was a busy month but we
were able to top the year off with another epic holiday party,
this time at Sequoia in Georgetown! There were cocktails,
mini sliders, dancing, dancing and more dancing! The Grants
team made the most of our cool DJ with quite a few
enthusiastic screams of "That's my jam!" and it was great to
see a few former Hanoverians in attendance.

LAUNCHING HANOVER PRIDE
Hanoverians added a new affinity group in early 2015 Hanover Pride - to support LGBTQ employees and Hanover's
efforts to promote our company as an inclusive employer with
an open, safe environment for all employees. We are looking
forward to seeing more community outreach efforts led by this
new affinity group in 2015.
Read more about the group on our careers blog.
"That's my jam!"
2015 is already poised to be another record-setting year for
Hanover. We plan on growing our Sales and Account
Management teams quite aggressively this year as well as
investing in our branding initiatives. We have just hired a
Senior Director to oversee Corporate Communications and
are excited to leverage this department even more this year.
As always, we love hearing from our alumni and love
receiving referrals so please feel free to contact me directly
at: [email protected] or follow us on social
media.

Hanover Recruiters in Action
@hanoverresearch
-Marcelle Wood, CHRO
Our recruiters are traveling across the states this spring,
looking for the best talent to add to Hanover's Content, Sales,
and Account Solutions teams. In 2015, they've already hopped
up and down the Eastern seaboard.

REFLECTING ON SUCCESS
We continued the tradition created last year of annual
content team awards and employee awards, combining the
event with our firmwide meeting. The tone of the firmwide
meeting was relaxed, with each department providing a brief
overview of wins for the year as well as a snapshot of
ongoing projects and planned initiatives for 2015.
Based on employee feedback after last year's awards, we
added a new award category of Leadership & Mentorship
to the list. Employees nominated fellow employees for the
awards and the executive team made the final selection
based on the nominations and the supporting statements.
The only award that is 100% based on employee
nominations and votes is the Firm Citizenship award. We
were honored to be able to present the following staff with
the 2014 awards:



Business Builder - Will Hea

'TWAS AND IS THE SEASON
FOR GIVING!
ANGEL TREE BRIGHTENS THE HOLIDAYS
Hanover provided toys and clothing to 95 local children for
the holiday season through Salvation Army's Angel Tree
program. We placed trees on both floors at 4401 Wilson and
the tags were snapped up in record time. Staff teamed up to
ensure that every item on every child's list was covered.
It took two trips and a big truck to get all the bicycles,
scooters, cribs, car seats, and other wonderful toys to the
Salvation Army. Despite it being the final month of the year
with all the deadlines and revenue goals, Hanoverians
embraced the spirit of the season and were immeasurably
generous.

A NEW YEAR, A NEW OFFICE
With so much growth in 2014 (we now employ more than 300
staff members), we needed to expand. We were able to take
over the entire 8th floor of 4300 Wilson Blvd (just across the
street from our first Ballson office). The new space is home to
Grants, MIC Research and Corporate Strategy. The space is
starting to come together and feels more like home now. It can
hold about 120 employees and has a lot of meeting space for
team use.
