Incentive events are a win for everyone involved, from the hosting company, sponsors, venues, clients and to the lucky invitees.
- People are highly motivated on a psychological level.
- Team bonding and shared memories out of the office are priceless.

- Memories that last a lifetime.
- Highly shareable photos
- Builds excitement about employee performance for next year.
Plan and budget for your events are for photos to be captured of your teams coming together, celebrating and being motivated. Also a great reward for the executive team to see as an acknowledgement of the nurturing business leaders can have towards their staff.
Experiential Incentives
Rewards in the form of an experience are very common nowadays. This gives businesses the ability to gather their best employees and clients for special lunches, motivational guest speakers, live or music entertainment, sailing in the harbour or meeting celebrities.
Some companies will organise these special events inhouse by their event or marketing manager and on occasion lease out to freelancers or event organising specialists who will arrange everything.
Photography Suitability
The experience sector lends itself very well to photography. Any time you have even small teams of people catching up to celebrate a milestone or rewards achievements at any venue is great to have photos captured.
Not only to enhance the experience at the time but to also share on Social media and expand the reach of your good news for a few more accolades to your industry peers.
Employee development
A critical path to organisational growth is employee development. Having great candidates join the company is a good start, when or if they are able to achieve their targets is just the beginning as most companies have target increases every year and the market, many markets change frequently with competitors taking advantage of their strength and changing consumer needs.
For a business to thrive they must continually invest in employee development or risk stagnation and or the good staff leave to your competitors.
The solution is a continuous program of training and development such as conducting inhouse or external workshops, structured training, Self-Directed Learning, unstructured tutoring and one on one with more senior experienced staff.
We’ve even worked with company’s that provide professional headshot session to boost moral, keep a consistent looks across the business and motivate the staff. And why not as it is likely during an incentive event the staff will be all dressed up already and feeling relaxed.
Each one of these in essence can be broken down into either group training events or individual one on one development.
Photography opportunities
Workshops and grouped training sessions lend themselves well to being photographed. Individual sessions are ok but usually not required unless you are using the photos for promotions activities.
