As remote work continues to dominate the professional landscape, building a strong team culture is more critical than ever. Many organizations are grappling with the challenge of keeping remote interactions engaging and finding ways to bring their teams together for impactful in-person experiences. Marco Experiences, a leader in crafting seamless company retreats and offsites, helps businesses like Syndicate build thriving cultures through memorable events.

The Rise of Remote Work and Its Impact on Company Culture

Remote work is here to stay, but fostering a cohesive remote team culture is still a work in progress for many companies. Hosting in-person offsite events can be transformative, yet they come with a unique set of challenges, particularly when trying to align international teams.

Learn how Syndicate, a global Web3 services startup, transformed their offsite planning and achieved 100% employee satisfaction by partnering with Marco Experiences.

The Challenges of Organizing Offsites for International Teams

For Syndicate, remote offsites were essential in keeping their global team aligned and engaged. However, managing these events proved difficult. Syndicate’s Head of Finance, Keenan Monroe, found himself juggling complex logistics like vendor coordination, time zone differences, and visa requirements for international attendees.

Key Challenges:

  • Time constraints: Keenan spent hours researching venues, managing logistics, and securing travel arrangements, which detracted from his ability to focus on Syndicate’s broader business objectives.
  • Complex planning: As a company with employees spread across multiple countries, the offsite required visa coordination, multiple travel permits, and vendor negotiations.

Keenan knew that the future success of Syndicate’s offsites depended on bringing in event planning experts, which is when he discovered Marco Experiences.

How Marco Experiences Streamlined Syndicate’s Offsite Planning

When Syndicate partnered with Marco Experiences, they were able to delegate the heavy lifting of event planning to a seasoned team of experts. Marco took care of everything from conceptualizing the retreat to managing travel logistics, saving Keenan over 20 hours of planning and ensuring a 100% employee satisfaction rate.

Marco’s Tailored Approach to Offsite Planning:

  • Curated venue selection: Marco provided Syndicate with a shortlist of exclusive venues and experiences based on the company’s size, goals, and values.
  • Seamless logistics management: From securing international travel permits to coordinating with vendors, Marco handled every logistical detail, making the process smooth and stress-free for Syndicate.
  • Custom experiences: Marco designed activities that allowed Syndicate’s employees to connect on a deeper level, fostering collaboration and creativity.

Partnering with Marco Experiences not only lifted the logistical burden off Syndicate’s team but also resulted in a highly successful retreat. With Marco’s support, Syndicate enjoyed:

  • 20+ hours of event planning saved
  • 100% employee satisfaction
  • 7 top-tier vendors delivering an unforgettable experience

Keenan Monroe, Syndicate’s Head of Finance, reflected on the impact Marco made:
"Marco made the entire process seamless, from planning to execution. Thanks to their expertise, we were able to focus on building stronger relationships and fully enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics."

 

Why Offsite Retreats Are Essential for Building Remote Team Culture

By working with Marco Experiences, companies like Syndicate are able to strengthen their team dynamics and ensure long-term success.
