Well - here it is.
There was a bit of a ripple in the webosphere about two weeks ago when we heard tell of a Star Trek Spoof video viewable on YouTube from Tribal Resourcing, fetauring the Senior Management team. Unfortunately it seemed to get beamed back up nearly as quickly as it arrived amongst us.
But the web has a habbit of Kling(ing)on to tomfoolery and one keen eyed & public spirited citizen managed to capture the footage before it hit warp 5 and so, hoping Tribal phasers don't go any higher than just stun, we thought we'd share and let you make your own mind up about it.
Personally - I think if nothing else it shows a bit of personality and a senior management team willing to not take themselves too seriously. And if it doesn't raise a smile (certainly 2nd or 3rd time of watching) then you're dead (Jim).
Oh - and appologies for pun overdrive. What can I say - I tried to contain myself but I got to a stage where I "couldnae tak it anymoor capn!" My pun overide sensors "werre gonna blow" if I didn't redirect the full force of the bad taste photon shield right back into the post.
:-D

I can't believe Mr Collis missed out on the Oscars this year after that performance. I mean, he puts Sean Penn to shame.

Just read their press release on www.ri5.co.uk, they are claiming they did it on purpose to showcase how good they were at viral marketing and no one can disprove this because "it's not available on the web anymore".......er hello the web is a big searchable place and it's still here!!!! FAIL

oh and with nearly 1000 visits to this post and over 200 full views of the video in the last three days I think a lot of other people might have noticed as well........

I would have had more respect for them if they'd just told the truth which I guess is something like, we produced this internally for our staff, it was just a bit of fun, but when it went on YouTube people starting slagging it off so we took it down. This 'demonstrating the power of viral marketing' spin they're trying to put on it doesn't do them any favours.

good to see some people still have a sense of humour in these hard times - however note to self Tribal - if you want to keep something internal use a private platform :)
