Roland Förster was greet­ed by thun­der­ous applause on the stage in Berlin on to which he had been invit­ed by Alexan­der Link and Jes­si­ca Schlick both of whom were pre­sent­ing. In his open­ing speech, the Sole Share­hold­er and CEO drew the atten­tion of his 1,000 guests to the company’s his­to­ry of 17 years that had been char­ac­ter­ized by con­tin­u­ous devel­op­ments. Devel­op­ments that had start­ed from the small­est of begin­nings and had grown into a pro­gres­sive­ly opti­mized col­lec­tion, high-qual­i­ty cat­a­logues and sig­nif­i­cant invest­ments in IT and logis­tics and also includ­ed the acqui­si­tion of the build­ing com­plex in Bin­gen. The lat­est mile­stone in the company’s progress is the exten­sive range of well­ness prod­ucts, which was pre­sent­ed in a sep­a­rate cat­a­logue for the first time in Berlin and which offers part­ners new poten­tial for sus­tain­ably boost­ing their busi­ness­es as well as their income and team-build­ing, which as Roland Förster par­tic­u­lar­ly point­ed out was of cen­tral sig­nif­i­cance.

In its pur­suit of these con­tin­u­ous devel­op­ments, ENERGETIX also attach­es great impor­tance to new­com­ers to the com­pa­ny. They were giv­en a spe­cial wel­come in Berlin. The num­ber of peo­ple who had joined since the last Col­lec­tion Pre­miere and who were invit­ed on to the stage was impres­sive.

Large groups, also among the teams, that had come dressed espe­cial­ly for the occa­sion of the Col­lec­tion Pre­miere in Berlin. The stage was hard­ly big enough to show off their cre­ativ­i­ty.

The company’s top busi­ness part­ners and mem­bers of the STARCLUB – the company’s high­est acco­lade – were also giv­en spe­cial recog­ni­tion and enjoyed loud applause.

The day’s high­light came this year in a dou­ble pack: well­ness prod­ucts and a new jew­ellery col­lec­tion. Both were pre­sent­ed dur­ing impres­sive stage shows. As were the two new cat­a­logues – in a new design and real­ized in the most sophis­ti­cat­ed of styles. The audi­ence enjoyed a breath­tak­ing per­for­mance dur­ing the show when Sergey Mishchurenko, who is famous for his tele­vi­sion appear­ances, impressed with a dar­ing rou­tine on his ‘Fly­ing Pole’.

He wasn’t the only celebri­ty of the day: the actor Ralf Bauer was also wel­comed as a guest and charm­ing­ly focused addi­tion­al atten­tion on the top­ic of well­ness. Joey Kel­ly and his son Luke, who is fol­low­ing in his father’s foot­steps, made an authen­tic con­tri­bu­tion to the moti­va­tion of the attend­ing busi­ness part­ners. They fur­ther issued a heart-felt invi­ta­tion to the par­tic­i­pants to join them at the next half marathon in Mainz where they’ll also be run­ning in ENERGETIX’s colours.

The busi­ness part­ners were also giv­en suf­fi­cient time to dive into the extreme­ly cre­ative­ly designed worlds of jew­ellery and well­ness. That was where par­tic­i­pants were able to take a close look at the new prod­ucts and get expert and knowl­edge­able advice about them. The enthu­si­asm was lit­er­al­ly tan­gi­ble.

Anoth­er first was the fact that suc­cess­ful busi­ness part­ners were giv­en the oppor­tu­ni­ty to share their knowl­edge in the fields of jew­ellery, well­ness, team-build­ing and com­pe­ti­tions on stage in four inten­sive and enter­tain­ing pan­el dis­cus­sions. Com­pe­tence and expe­ri­ence in the ‘Tal­ent Are­na’ also pro­duced effi­cient exchanges between the man­age­ment, suc­cess­ful busi­ness part­ners and new­com­ers, who were able to ben­e­fit from the invalu­able knowl­edge that was pre­sent­ed there. Build­ing your own team was anoth­er of the cen­tral top­ics at the are­na as were tips and expe­ri­ences from many impres­sive careers.

With this prepa­ra­tion under their belts, the par­tic­i­pants eager­ly await­ed the pre­sen­ta­tion of the new com­pe­ti­tions, which were then revealed in an excit­ing launch: as is tra­di­tion, new­com­ers will be trav­el­ling to Bin­gen; win­ners of the sec­ond cat­e­go­ry will be get­ting to enjoy ‘Pure Nature’ in the Basque Coun­try while first-cat­e­go­ry qual­i­fiers may expect some­thing incred­i­ble: a trip to the Ama­zon – an expe­ri­ence that’s going to be an absolute one-off in the lives of those lucky enough to take part.

The day was round­ed off with the gala evening that was accom­pa­nied by a deli­cious meal and the pre­sen­ta­tion of the cheque to ENERGETIX’s char­i­ty part­ner Dr Hugo Tem­pel­man and that was then fol­lowed by a daz­zling par­ty with DJ and one of the best cov­er and par­ty bands in Ger­many.

The fol­low­ing Sun­day saw busi­ness part­ners decid­ing between the choice of tak­ing part in a socia­ble get-togeth­er.

An all-round suc­cess­ful Col­lec­tion Pre­miere! ENERGETIX’s most impor­tant event of the year has made a last­ing impres­sion: effec­tive exchanges of expe­ri­ences, top moti­va­tion and enthu­si­asm for two new ranges. The par­tic­i­pants are look­ing for­ward to the next Col­lec­tion Pre­miere in July 2020.

From the start, the atmos­phere at the sum­mer STARCLUB meet­ing couldn’t have been bet­ter. The mem­bers of ENERGETIX’s supreme body met two days before the Col­lec­tion Pre­miere in the ESTREL Hotel’s sum­mer gar­den in Berlin for a lunch snack that was already await­ing the guests. It was a meet­ing that was actu­al­ly a warm gath­er­ing of friends in the most pleas­ant of Berlin set­tings that pre­sent­ed the per­fect oppor­tu­ni­ty for small talk and inten­sive shar­ing of expe­ri­ences.

The lat­est first-hand news was pre­sent­ed dur­ing the exchange with the man­age­ment that fol­lowed. That was when Roland Förster, Alexan­der Link and Jes­si­ca Schlick talked about devel­op­ments and trends, includ­ing, for exam­ple, the grow­ing impor­tance that well­ness prod­ucts are enjoy­ing. The new Bal­an­ce­Plus Bot­tle met with great enthu­si­asm at its pre-launch intro­duc­tion to the STARCLUB mem­bers.

The STARCLUB’s new mem­bers were giv­en a par­tic­u­lar­ly warm wel­come. Men­tors and close­ly asso­ci­at­ed busi­ness part­ners found the appro­pri­ate and mov­ing words to praise the suc­cess­ful new­com­ers to the club – a demon­stra­tion of the close ties between peo­ple that are char­ac­ter­is­tic of the atmos­phere that exists at ENERGETIX and that cer­tain­ly also con­tribute to the suc­cess of every indi­vid­ual.

The STARCLUB mem­bers then got to spend the evening in the com­pa­ny of ENERGETIX’s man­age­ment at Schloss Britz. The atmos­phere was excel­lent. The sum­mer par­ty fol­lowed the hon­ours and a supe­ri­or evening meal.

Our STARS express how much they enjoy their suc­cess when they start to cel­e­brate. Although things weren’t real­ly any loud­er than usu­al, it was hot and so the win­dows were open. And then the police arrived. It must be said, how­ev­er, that the offi­cers deployed their de-esca­la­tion strat­e­gy per­fect­ly in the form of a Vien­nese waltz and that they were an unplanned but valu­able addi­tion to the evening. ENERGETIX’s atmos­phere is sim­ply infec­tious!

The announce­ment of the next three-day STARCLUB event on Mal­ta in April 2020 gave every­body a spe­cial moti­va­tion­al boost! An incen­tive for ded­i­cat­ed, con­tin­u­ous work for all busi­ness part­ners!

A fresh wind blew through Bin­gen and our busi­ness premis­es last week. In appre­ci­a­tion of their out­stand­ing achieve­ments, we had invit­ed the win­ners of the New­com­er Com­pe­ti­tion to see our head­quar­ters.

But, once there, they were able to enjoy Joey Kel­ly, too, who is also a con­firmed fan of mag­net­ic jew­ellery and who enriched the day with a pre­sen­ta­tion about the pow­er of set­ting goals and moti­va­tion.

The first day was ded­i­cat­ed to a guid­ed tour of our premis­es with lots of infor­ma­tion from the Cus­tomer Sup­port, Mar­ket­ing and Ware­house depart­ments as well as an exchange with man­age­ment and employ­ees. But one of the high­lights was def­i­nite­ly the enter­tain­ing and instruc­tive ‘No Lim­its’ pre­sen­ta­tion by Joey Kel­ly.

No lim­its in your mind and pur­su­ing your goals with the utmost moti­va­tion – that’s what Joey illus­trat­ed using his life with the Kel­ly Fam­i­ly and as an extreme ath­lete as an exam­ple.

The evening was then ded­i­cat­ed entire­ly to recog­ni­tion because that’s when Roland Förster and Jes­si­ca Schlick pre­sent­ed the busi­ness part­ners with their cer­tifi­cates and awards against the back­drop of the Cen­tral Rhine Val­ley, which could have come straight from the movies. The buf­fet and BBQ on the ter­race of the Palais am Rhein was fol­lowed by a par­ty and danc­ing into the night in the com­pa­ny of a DJ.

The sec­ond day pro­vid­ed the oppor­tu­ni­ty to exchange expe­ri­ences with like-mind­ed peo­ple. A kind of speed dat­ing with hik­ing and wine tast­ing around the Nieder­wald Mon­u­ment pro­vid­ed the set­ting for enter­tain­ment, sight­see­ing and many answers to ques­tions about the busi­ness.

The event is best summed up with what the new­com­ers them­selves said: “two fan­tas­tic days”, “inter­est­ing exchange”, “beau­ti­ful land­scape”, “fun peo­ple” and “great atmos­phere”!

“Great, incredibly impressive! Thanks for this totally amazing trip. It was again something very special and very pleasant.”

The trip to South Africa allowed the first-cat­e­go­ry qual­i­fiers to get very close to the peo­ple and nature there. The promis­es that were made weren’t exag­ger­at­ed. It would hard­ly be pos­si­ble to expe­ri­ence this excit­ing coun­try as a vis­i­tor any more inten­sive­ly, emo­tion­al­ly or clos­er.

The trip start­ed in Elans­doorn, where Hugo Tem­pel­man, our long-stand­ing char­i­ty part­ner, works. The busi­ness part­ners were able to see for them­selves in the hos­pi­tal ward and research lab­o­ra­to­ry that ENERGETIX’s dona­tions over recent years are being put to extreme­ly good use.

A per­for­mance by a few mem­bers of the now world-famous choir showed how much qual­i­ty of life Hugo Tempelman’s work is pro­duc­ing in South Africa.

These first mov­ing impres­sions accom­pa­nied the group as the trav­ellers immersed them­selves direct­ly into the near­by nature where a beau­ti­ful lodge where they could relax was wait­ing for them.

The next day offered pure adven­ture when the par­tic­i­pants were tak­en on a safari to expe­ri­ence the Big Five with excit­ing and even dra­mat­ic aspects. The pic­tures speak for them­selves. The evening end­ed with a bush din­ner against the fan­tas­tic back­drop of dusk.

The next day’s pro­gramme of con­trasts saw the group take a short flight to the pul­sat­ing metrop­o­lis of Cape Town. 

The impres­sion that this ‘pearl at the south­ern tip of Africa’ offered was very pro­found with fan­tas­tic beach­es on the shores of two oceans, scenic diver­si­ty and a vibrant mul­ti­cul­tur­al soci­ety. The renowned ‘Gold Restau­rant’ took the guests on a culi­nary jour­ney across the entire con­ti­nent in the evening.

Next con­trast: Cape Town’s town­ship. The guide let us take a look behind the scenes. One of the high­lights of the jour­ney was a trip to a gen­uine med­i­cine man and to the guide’s moth­er, who lov­ing­ly pre­pared an African lunch for the group. It couldn’t have been more authen­tic!

The vis­tas from Table Moun­tain are, of course, always a must-see on any trip to Cape Town. The view at sun­set was mag­nif­i­cent.

And only ENERGETIX busi­ness part­ners could have expe­ri­enced the con­sump­tion of night cof­fee this way: the evening meal was served at the home of jazz musi­cians who pre­sent­ed a sam­ple of their skills with music that has con­quered the entire world.

The Cape of Good Hope’s pop­u­lar mas­cots, the charm­ing pen­guins, were one of the final last­ing impres­sions of a ‘stun­ning’ jour­ney before the first-cat­e­go­ry qual­i­fiers were appro­pri­ate­ly rec­og­nized for their out­stand­ing per­for­mances dur­ing ‘Din­ner at the Stack’.

An incred­i­ble trip but it can already be revealed that the new competition’s des­ti­na­tion for first-cat­e­go­ry qual­i­fiers that is going to be pre­sent­ed in Berlin at the end of August is eas­i­ly going to match these stan­dards for excite­ment and adven­ture.

We’ll be see­ing you in Berlin!

Great spir­its and lots of fun while act­ing – that’s how the atmos­phere dur­ing the STARCLUB meet­ing that took place in Bin­gen on 3 and 4 May could be described. The venue – which was turned into a pro­fes­sion­al­ly super­vised film loca­tion – was the NH Hotel on the banks of the Riv­er Rhine.

The pro­tag­o­nists were the ENERGETIX STARS, who enthu­si­as­ti­cal­ly and total­ly immersed them­selves into the com­plex mate­r­i­al: great per­for­mances were pre­sent­ed in regard to the sto­ry­board, cast­ing, make-up and even direct­ing. As well as, of course, in the lead­ing and sup­port­ing roles.

The cin­e­mat­ic enthu­si­asm of our STARS dur­ing the shoot is reflect­ed in the three results, which had their pre­mieres after the evening menu at Burg Klopp. Roland Förster’s trib­ute to the STARCLUB mem­bers was com­ple­ment­ed this time with Oscars for all the par­tic­i­pants and three Spe­cial Awards for Out­stand­ing Achieve­ments.

The great atmos­phere with the 54 STARS who had trav­elled from the Nether­lands, Den­mark, France, Switzer­land and Ger­many tran­si­tioned seam­less­ly into a live­ly film-gala par­ty.

The Sat­ur­day after was marked by an infor­ma­tive meet­ing on ENERGETIX’s premis­es at which the most impor­tant news was shared first hand in advance with the STARCLUB mem­bers.

The ses­sion allowed ques­tions and sug­ges­tions to be explored in direct exchanges with the man­age­ment. The pos­i­tive feed­back about the sub­jects dis­cussed con­sti­tut­ed a great end to a very suc­cess­ful STARCLUB event.

That you can end up in a com­plete­ly dif­fer­ent and fas­ci­nat­ing world after what feels like a short-haul flight – that’s what the 22 par­tic­i­pants of ENERGETIX’s train­ing trip to Mar­rakesh expe­ri­enced. The name alone con­jures up excit­ing images of vibrant and ori­en­tal diver­si­ty that are then far sur­passed by what can actu­al­ly be expe­ri­enced there.

The first day alone pre­sent­ed the full pack­age: div­ing into the mag­i­cal atmos­phere of the Med­i­na mar­ket place with jug­glers, snake charm­ers and musi­cians along with an incred­i­ble selec­tion of goods being hawked by hun­dreds of traders. All this fills the air with a unique sound, accom­pa­nied by the fan­tas­tic smell of ori­en­tal food – a feast for the sens­es.

A some­what dif­fer­ent ral­ly was kicked off in the mid­dle of this unique atmos­phere with the aim of help­ing the trav­ellers dis­cov­er the his­to­ry and cul­ture of this mag­i­cal place. Appro­pri­ate­ly, the night was spent at the Riad Dar Jus­to, a state­ly vil­la at the heart of Mar­rakesh.

The fol­low­ing day was devot­ed to the aspect of valu­able details that this city, which has been able to keep its tra­di­tions alive, presents. ENERGETIX’s busi­ness part­ners were par­tic­u­lar­ly tak­en with the many small and open stu­dios where tan­ners, black­smiths and wood­work­ers – who are more artists than arti­sans – could be observed at their work. Anoth­er world, anoth­er time – still full of life today. A ‘tuk-tuk’ whisked the vis­i­tors down nar­row alleys to a styl­ish restau­rant in the evening.

The third day was ded­i­cat­ed to a trip to the Atlas moun­tains. This was where the par­tic­i­pants dis­cov­ered how com­plex the pro­duc­tion of Morocco’s pre­cious argan oil is on a trip to a coop­er­a­tive where it is made.

A Berber fam­i­ly pre­sent­ed the secrets of mak­ing tea in the Agafag desert  – a true cer­e­mo­ny. A ride on the camel was, of course, a must on a lit­tle excur­sion into the desert.

The evening meal, which was served in a Berber tent, was a very spe­cial expe­ri­ence as it pre­sent­ed the unique set­ting to cel­e­brate the win­ners of the Mar­rakesh ral­ly as well as the birth­day of Cécile Car­bonel, the busi­ness part­ner from France.

The high­light of the fourth day was the trip to the Yves Saint Lau­rent Muse­um and the Majorelle Gar­den that revealed that the fash­ion design­er did not only excel with won­der­ful cre­ations at his cho­sen pro­fes­sion.

This excur­sion into the Ara­bi­an world was brought to a close with an evening meal at the mod­ern Jad Mahal Restau­rant, where Andreas Förster, stand­ing in for his father, award­ed the cer­tifi­cates to the par­tic­i­pat­ing com­pe­ti­tion qual­i­fiers. He empha­sized how valu­able the ENERGETIX train­ing trips are, also from the point of view of per­son­al exchanges and learn­ing from each oth­er.

The unfor­get­table impres­sions of this train­ing trip to Mar­rakesh demon­strate once again that ENERGETIX’s ses­sions are great oppor­tu­ni­ties for busi­ness part­ners to moti­vate both them­selves and their entire teams.

More impres­sions from this extra­or­di­nary jour­ney are to be found on Flickr.

Feb­ru­ary 2019: 60 top busi­ness part­ners from Den­mark, Ger­many, Aus­tria and Switzer­land met in Col­mar. The charm­ing small town in the French Alsace rep­re­sent­ed the ide­al loca­tion for the first STARCLUB event of 2019.

The day was ini­tial­ly kicked off with the man­age­ment pro­vid­ing direct infor­ma­tion to the stars about new devel­op­ments and projects at the com­pa­ny. This ses­sion already made the ben­e­fits of mem­ber­ship in the STARCLUB appar­ent as it gave the busi­ness part­ners the oppor­tu­ni­ty to con­tribute and offer their feed­back direct­ly.

The new STARCLUB mem­bers were imme­di­ate­ly inte­grat­ed into the group of stars with ques­tions, awards and gift pre­sen­ta­tions.

The sec­ond part of the day was ded­i­cat­ed to the essence of the busi­ness, which is team-build­ing. An extreme­ly live­ly and con­struc­tive exchange took place dur­ing this ses­sion. Every­one ben­e­fit­ed here from the mix of expe­ri­enced and new busi­ness part­ners. It was once again con­firmed that ENERGETIX offers both a par­tic­u­lar­ly attrac­tive com­pen­sa­tion plan and high-qual­i­ty prod­ucts – which is almost unique in the indus­try. Every­one is giv­en the space to devel­op and become suc­cess­ful in the busi­ness with­out pres­sure and oblig­a­tion.

This part of the day was fol­lowed by a guid­ed tour of Colmar’s cen­tre, which, with build­ings from six cen­turies, is extra­or­di­nar­i­ly well-pre­served. The din­ner was fol­lowed by a cel­e­bra­tion of all STARCLUB mem­bers for their mag­nif­i­cent achieve­ments. A splen­did evening, which end­ed with great con­ver­sa­tions, danc­ing and music.

The next day was reserved for a culi­nary work­shop at the Château de Kintzheim, where groups were formed to bake a spe­cial­i­ty that’s typ­i­cal of the region: mac­a­roons! As always with our busi­ness part­ners, fun and enter­tain­ment were not neglect­ed!

Over­all impres­sion: bright sun­shine, busi­ness part­ners in excel­lent spir­its and a valu­able exchange of expe­ri­ences!

More impres­sions of the event may be found here.

The mot­to at the meet­ings to kick off the year in Ger­many, France and the Nether­lands shows where the focus will lie over the com­ing months: it will be on telling more peo­ple about ENERGETIX, inspir­ing them and offer­ing them the oppor­tu­ni­ty of a job that’s fun and that will help them make their wish­es and dreams come true.
Sole Share­hold­er and CEO Roland Förster talked about the mot­to that sets out the direc­tion for the com­ing months in his speech that opened the meet­ing in Tiel in the Nether­lands. ENERGETIX doesn’t only offer beau­ti­ful jew­ellery and high-qual­i­ty well­ness arti­cles but also a unique job for every­one!

“Talk about:

• Fan­tas­tic prod­ucts for build­ing a busi­ness with ENERGETIX
• An incred­i­bly attrac­tive com­pen­sa­tion plan
• Fan­tas­tic trips and rewards
• Flex­i­ble work­ing hours
• What it’s like to be your own boss.”

Roland Förster wel­comed last year’s new­com­ers with a brief inter­view with each. Some of them had already achieved a rapid start and had con­se­quent­ly secured addi­tion­al rewards for them­selves.

The attend­ing mem­bers of the cur­rent STARCLUB were then hon­oured and were exclu­sive­ly pre­sent­ed with a pair of Mag­net­Slip­pers, the lat­est addi­tion to the well­ness range. Their anec­dotes about how they start­ed with ENERGETIX were emo­tion­al, espe­cial­ly among the busi­ness part­ners of the first hour.
There was also news about the inno­v­a­tive food sup­ple­ment QICUMA (for­mer­ly Inja). Besides a new name, which is an indi­ca­tion of one of the most impor­tant com­po­nents which is turmer­ic, mag­ne­sium has also been added and the taste changed. A joint tast­ing on loca­tion was, of course, a must and con­vinced every­one who tried the new prod­uct. The mar­ket­ing mate­ri­als, such as the QICUMA prod­uct video, have also been adapt­ed.

Anoth­er high­light was the new SPRING / SUMMER 2019 col­lec­tion, which Mar­greth Janssen pre­sent­ed in a pro­fes­sion­al busi­ness-part­ner-like man­ner. Her pre­sen­ta­tion was accom­pa­nied by a fash­ion and jew­ellery show for the first time. The breaks pro­vid­ed oppor­tu­ni­ties to view, touch and try on all the new prod­ucts, which imme­di­ate­ly found new fans!

The after­noon was ded­i­cat­ed to prac­ti­cal train­ing ses­sions for the par­tic­i­pants. Sjaak Janssen explained in an inspir­ing pre­sen­ta­tion how to be con­sis­tent­ly suc­cess­ful with ENERGETIX and have fun at the same time. The new ‘Talk & Win’ com­pe­ti­tion was then pre­sent­ed.

The busi­ness part­ners’ moti­va­tion was clear­ly notice­able. New acquain­tances, new knowl­edge and new fan­tas­tic prod­ucts as well as a reli­able and strong com­pa­ny in the back­ground – these are the foun­da­tions for busi­ness part­ners to enjoy a suc­cess­ful year – entire­ly in line with the mot­to: „Let’s talk about EX!“

Please click here to see more pho­tos of the event that our dear busi­ness part­ner Mar­greth Janssen has made avail­able on her Flickr chan­nel.

At this point, we’d like to thank Mar­greth and Sjaak Janssen again for orga­niz­ing the event and to all the busi­ness part­ners who helped on loca­tion!

Joey Kel­ly is a mem­ber of the Kel­ly Fam­i­ly and sportEX brand ambas­sador and – as an extreme sports per­son­al­i­ty – he nev­er likes to miss out on a sport­ing chal­lenge. So it was only nat­ur­al that he also decid­ed to take part in the telethon host­ed by the RTL tele­vi­sion chan­nel in Ger­many, which is one of the biggest char­i­ty cam­paigns in Ger­man broad­cast­ing.

This year’s chal­lenge was the ‘24-hour Urban Run’. This meant run­ning for 24 hours on a 375-metre long obsta­cle course. But he wasn’t alone: a total of 20 com­pa­ny teams joined him at the start­ing line as part of the world record attempt with the aim of help­ing chil­dren in need in Ger­many and the rest of the world with their dona­tions. And because Joey Kel­ly and ENERGETIX belong togeth­er just as much as ENERGETIX and social com­mit­ment do, it was agreed that the Bin­gen-based net­work-mar­ket­ing com­pa­ny would join in the activ­i­ties again in 2018! Because social respon­si­bil­i­ty and team spir­it are two of ENERGETIX’s absolute pri­or­i­ties. Besides par­tic­i­pat­ing in the RTL telethon (this year for the fourth time run­ning!), ENERGETIX also fields a team every year to run for good caus­es in the Guten­berg Half Marathon in Mainz.

The start­ing gun was fired at 6.30 p.m. on 22 Novem­ber when RTL’s telethon and the 24-hour chal­lenge went live on air. The 25-strong ENERGETIX team joined Joey Kel­ly as well as Jes­si­ca Schlick and Alexan­der Link of the man­age­ment to face the dif­fi­cult chal­lenge.

Equipped with the inno­v­a­tive and styl­ish sportEX bracelets and an ENERGETIX cap, Joey com­plet­ed lap after lap for 24 hours with­out a break in the com­pa­ny of the oth­er teams able and was in this way able to break the world record for the »longest team relay dis­tance over an extreme obsta­cle course (24 hours, mixed)«!

Instead of the 2,000 kilo­me­tres on the obsta­cle course that was required for the ‘24-hour Urban Run’, a total of 3,435.8 kilo­me­tres was cov­ered in 24 hours. Com­pa­nies that donat­ed 24,000 euros were able to secure their par­tic­i­pa­tion in advance – which in itself had raised almost half a mil­lion euros before the chal­lenge even start­ed! View­ers and celebri­ties were in this way able to raise a total of 8,604,481.00 euros through their many dif­fer­ent activ­i­ties dur­ing the 23rd RTL telethon with Wol­fram Kons for chil­dren in need in Ger­many and across the world. ENERGETIX was able to con­tribute 70,000 euros to this grand total.

We’ve put togeth­er the most beau­ti­ful impres­sions from these unfor­get­table 24 hours for a good cause in a jam-packed on-line album for you. We hope you enjoy it!

The par­tic­i­pants qual­i­fy­ing for the first cat­e­go­ry in ENERGETIX’s Time for Suc­cess com­pe­ti­tion set off for a four-day train­ing trip to St. Peters­burg in Octo­ber. The city with its his­toric old town has been des­ig­nat­ed a UNESCO World Her­itage Site.

Frank­furt on 23 Octo­ber 2018 was the start­ing point for the trip to St. Peters­burg – the sec­ond largest city in Rus­sia – which is also known as the city of the ‘White Nights’. That’s because the sun nev­er sets entire­ly dur­ing the peri­od between the end of May and the mid­dle of July so that it stays bright or dusky even at night. A nice evening meal accom­pa­nied by great expec­ta­tions for the next few days brought the par­tic­i­pants’ first evening to a pleas­ant con­clu­sion.

Kalei­do­scope of St. Peters­burg

ENERGETIX’s busi­ness part­ners start­ed the next day with a guid­ed tour of the city, which actu­al­ly began with a trip to a vod­ka muse­um. That’s where – besides view­ing the museum’s exhibits – the par­tic­i­pants were also giv­en the oppor­tu­ni­ty to enjoy a vod­ka tast­ing. The tour then con­tin­ued with a trip to one of the old­est cafés in the city where the trav­ellers were able to try pysh­ki – which are a type of Russ­ian dough­nut that are usu­al­ly enjoyed with a cup of cof­fee or tea.

The after­noon saw the qual­i­fiers vis­it­ing the famous Mari­in­sky Theatre’s bal­let school where they were first able to watch the chil­dren warm­ing up and then enjoy a 45-minute pre­sen­ta­tion. The the­atre is one of the most famous venues for opera and bal­let in the world and is also home to the old­est bal­let acad­e­my in Rus­sia.

The evening meal at the Repa restau­rant oppo­site the the­atre was fol­lowed by a per­for­mance of the bal­let of ‘The Foun­tain of Bakhchis­arai’ at the Mari­in­sky The­atre.

The next day kicked off with a tour of dis­cov­ery that was entire­ly ded­i­cat­ed to Art Nou­veau. Among oth­er sights, this trip took in the so-called ‘Singer House’, which was for­mer­ly the per­ma­nent rep­re­sen­ta­tion of The Singer Com­pa­ny, the sewing machine man­u­fac­tur­er from the USA. But every­one had to earn their own lunch: typ­i­cal Russ­ian food was pre­pared in a cook­ing stu­dio with lots of fun and in a great atmos­phere.

The par­tic­i­pants were tak­en to the most impres­sive build­ings in St. Peters­burg on the last day of the trip: the Cather­ine Palace with the Amber Room and the Her­mitage, one of the largest and most impor­tant art muse­ums in the world.

This won­der­ful and impres­sive trip was con­clud­ed at the Luce restau­rant in the evening, where the indi­vid­ual trav­ellers were rec­og­nized for their great achieve­ments and for qual­i­fy­ing for the first cat­e­go­ry in ENERGETIX’s Time for Suc­cess com­pe­ti­tion.

Besides the many cul­tur­al and culi­nary high­lights, the strength­en­ing of team spir­it and the exchange of ideas also played impor­tant roles on this trip thus enabling the par­tic­i­pants to return to their busi­ness­es full of ener­gy and high­ly moti­vat­ed!
