We are over the moon today! Ben, our CEO at Olark, won the grand prize of the Delivering Happiness Happy Hunt Sweepstakes. He’ll be flying off to Las Vegas, baby, to meet Tony Hsieh himself.
What’s more, fellow Olarkers Roland and Nathan both won third prizes. Olark totally swept the contest! Let us reveal our secret strategy for success!
Step 1. Believe in the movement
Delivering Happiness is a movement born from lessons Tony Hsieh learnt building Zappos into a billion dollar company (now owned by Amazon). Zappos showed that by focusing on employee happiness, they would deliver customer happiness. Happy customers lead straight to the bottom line!
Step 2. Deliver a lot of happiness
Delivering happiness is what Olarkers do every day! It wasn’t hard to convince half the company to enter the contest. But more importantly, we had a lot of fun doing it! Here’s some crazy things our team did.

Roland loves chocolate. It makes Roland strong.

Sunir shows off his professional bad dancing on the street.

Bill bought a pint for a happy stranger!

Nathan never could hurt a cute pinata.
Step 3. Have cat, will travel.
Most importantly, you’ve got to love your cat! Here’s the winning picture of Ben wearing his cat as a boa.

In conclusion
Ok, we admit. We really had no strategy. But we were really lucky! Thank you Delivering Happiness for the good time!
