Escalating disturbances, failed capture attempts, and endless faxes brought the team at Applied Design Services to the brink. EctoWash got them back to doing whatever it is they do.
When we met the team at Applied Design Services, they were a frazzled crew. The 25 person team was nervous, several appeared to be suffering from lack of sleep, and many had severe paper cuts. We knew it would be a challenging case when their CEO Alison Franky reached out to us and asked us to make a visit to their Shoreline offices. Alison explained that the group had been dealing with an intense series of activities for the past six months, and though the management team had taken the matter seriously, all previous attempts had failed to resolve the issue. The team had become so distracted that they were weeks behind schedule on several projects and only one person had attended their previous month’s regular team building pajama party.
The Applied Design Services offices are located in a stately Victorian mansion overlooking the sea. The companies COO, Drake Goil, explained that due to the nature of their specialty, it was imperative that all team members be able to see the ocean at all times, that they all live together in a single building, and that non-management team members remain in the building. They seemed to be a close knit and extremely dedicated team, but problems began to emerge almost as soon as they moved into their new offices.
Technical Specialist, Verma Appleboat, explains how it began “When we first moved in, it seemed perfect. I was finally able to get a standard 13 hour work day in with the ocean views, but then the faxes started.” Head of IT, Amy Longer, called attention to the situation immediately “Due to the nature of our work, it is not unusual for us to receive a dozen faxes a day, but as soon as we hooked the system up in this house, faxes began arriving from an unknown source, I knew it wasn’t normal.” The faxes each contained a single cat themed meme and the frequency only increased. “At first we tried to decipher the meaning of the faxes, but it became clear that they were nonsensical. We thought we could ignore it, but soon the house was overflowing with paper.”
Amy Franky and her team immediately attempted to resolve the issue themselves. “We tried replacing the fax machines, setting the faxes on fire, sending our own faxes back to the source with threatening messages, but more and more faxes kept coming. When our daily stand-up tarot readings began to turn up The Tower, the Nine of Swords, and the Ten of Wands everyday, we knew we needed professional help.”
Luckily, Amy reached out to EctoWash. When our evaluation team arrived at the next new moon, we found an office overrun with piles of paper and fax machines running 24 hours a day. Considering the content of the faxes, we brought along our resident psychic cat, Meatball. Upon arrival, Meatball ate one of the employee’s plants, threw up, and then slept in a sunbeam. Our plan was clear. Our team was able to quickly create custom scented soap bars based on Meatball’s clairvoyant revelations and distribute them to the team members. After just one night, fax frequency reduced by 50% and after a week, not only were no cat memes received, but tarot readings began to feature the Ace of Pentacles and the Four of Wands frequently, also, all readings began to feature the Three of Cups but we feel that is unrelated.
“I couldn’t be happier with EctoWash!” says Amy Franky “Our team is back to being productive, we’ve been able to returned to normal 3AM brainstorming sessions, and revenue is up by 8%.”
We’re happy we could help Amy and her team get back to business. If you have a need for spectral management whether routine or unique, contact us anytime!
