Vitis Regulatory Team Away Day
The Context
Vitis Regulatory is a consultancy with a distributed team spanning multiple departments and regions. They wanted their 2025 team day to feel anything but corporate. The goal? Connection, creativity, and celebration, not awkward games or forced fun.
The brief: make it bold, make it meaningful, and above all, make it memorable.
What we delivered:
We designed a full-day creative experience: The V Factor, a fast-paced challenge blending storytelling, collaboration, collaboration and communication and a healthy dose of fun.
How it worked:
We began by really getting to know the client, their culture and their people. We learned about previous team away days, what was popular and what wasn’t.
Six teams across roles and departments were challenged to create a 3-5 minute video and choose from one of five themes that explained their work to the outside world. They had to assign roles, plan their project, manage a fictional budget, and bring their idea to life.
They had access to a “shop” where they could buy for fun props (wigs, hats and fancy dress) and technical kit, expert input, sound effects and visuals, and editing help. Each project was presented in a live X-Factor-style showcase, with a judging panel scoring creativity, collaboration, values, technical execution and budget strategy. Prizes were awarded to the winning team, as well as for best performance, funniest moment and creativity.
At the end of the day there was a great sense of achievement, a lot of laughter, new connections and memories made.
