CCG Celebrates Halloween 2024

CCG honors the Halloween tradition of dressing up every year. This week’s blog is dedicated to showcasing our employees’ creative costumes.

Seen here is the company president, Ed Libertini, who founded CCG in 1999 next to an intern, Yared Aberra. Ed is wearing a creepy pig mask while Yared is dressed as Robert Pattinson’s Batman. Both are seen here smiling while working, a reminder to us all that productivity and boredom are incompatible.

Another interesting image as the company’s vice president, Ben Libertini, dressed as Dr. Eggman from Sonic is seen here waving an American flag. Displaying patriotism and pride in the United States during a time of great divide.

Words can’t describe how amusing this photo is, a rare image of employee wage negotiations. Ben, seen here as Dr. Eggman, establishes a collar tie on Yared, who is dressed as Batman. Ben loads up on what seems to be an uppercut as Yared is attempting to escape the collar tie position.

Finally, on the left you can see our office administrative assistant, Andrew Rankin, dressed as Sully from Monsters University. Although he has worn this costume for the past four years consecutively, it’s the participation in the Halloween tradition that counts. On the other hand, you can see Yared in the middle and Ed on the right. This photo displays the culture of humor and positivity that circulates throughout CCG.
