Our 2016 Company Holiday Soiree
Every year, I always enjoy getting together with colleagues to share some good holiday cheer.
Last night was our annual company party. More than 100-employees from Martha Stewart Living and Sequential Brands Group attended the event at our historic Starrett Lehigh Building in New York City. There was an array of delicious foods, various cocktails, plus music and dancing. It was a great time to celebrate the season and the year's many accomplishments. Enjoy these photos.
I wish all of you a very happy and healthy holiday!
