Darcey

Barketing & Wellbeing Executive

Whether taking strategic naps or enforcing mandatory screen breaks, Darcey keeps the team's morale and wellbeing at an all-time high.

At a glance

As the Barketing & Wellbeing Executive at Serenity, Darcey’s core focus is maintaining peak team morale. Her strategic initiatives include keeping everyone happy, enforcing mandatory daily walks, executing high-level treat consumption, and warmly greeting all office visitors.

Day to day, her operations follow a highly structured and rigorous schedule. After a thorough breakfast briefing, she typically oversees the office from her bed, sleeping right through until lunchtime. After conducting her midday walk alongside Stuart, she dedicates her afternoons to interactive, toy-based play sessions before returning to deep sleep until hometime.

Darcey uniquely approaches her discipline by refusing to let stress dictate the workday. Rather than treating wellbeing as a tick-box exercise, she orchestrates a calm environment by demanding belly rubs and enforcing mandatory screen breaks for her colleagues when they have been staring at code for too long.

“Having worked at Serenity for my whole life, I can honestly say the best part of our culture is how easily manipulated the team is into taking me for multiple walks. They are a highly trainable group of humans.”

When you need Darcey

Darcey is vital when the team faces high-pressure deadlines, complex coding bugs, or simply needs an immediate, tail-wagging morale boost to get through the afternoon.

If you're experiencing:

High workplace stress

Usually caused by complex website launches or looming deadlines.

Unattended floor snacks

Dropped crumbs or lunches that require immediate, secure and permanent disposal.

A lack of physical activity

When the team needs a strict reminder to step away from their desks and go outside.

A severe cuddle deficit

Operating in an environment with critically low levels of fluff.

“One of my favourite parts of my job is observing the office from the comfort of my own bed, occasionally opening one eye just to make sure nobody is eating a banana or a biscuit without me.”

Areas of specialism

Snack acquisition (SA)

Monitoring the kitchen with laser focus and deploying advanced puppy-dog eyes to secure high-value treats from unsuspecting colleagues.

Stress management

Providing instant relief to the team by enforcing mandatory screen breaks in the form of petting sessions.

Visitor engagement

Leading the front-of-house welcoming committee, ensuring every single client feels instantly loved the moment they step through the door.

Strategic napping

Optimising energy reserves by sleeping deeply under desks, ensuring she is fully recharged for high-speed afternoon play sprints.

Outside the 9 to 5

Away from the office, Darcey is driven by a deep passion for the great outdoors, primarily involving chasing balls, patrolling the local forest and exploring the countryside. She treats every walk as an essential scent-gathering mission, rigorously checking every bush and lamppost in the vicinity.

At home, she balances her highly active lifestyle with extreme, dedicated lounging. You will usually find her curled up in the most comfortable spot available (ideally the sofa), recovering from a long day of office management.

“I believe that no matter how complex a problem is, it can usually be solved by going for a long walk or taking a really good nap. It keeps me curious, and most importantly, it keeps me fed.”
