EquipmentShare Dev Retreat

Creating a memorable experience for remote employees

With more companies operating either fully remote or in a hybrid style, teams are becoming more geographically spread apart.

As the miles between your employees grow, you don't want the connection to follow suit. 

Company retreats are one way to bring your team together to keep a sense of belonging and infuse some fun in the day-to-day work.

EquipmentShare, a nationwide construction solutions ecosystem provider, came to us to help develop a memorable and strategic retreat for their team of developers. The EquipmentShare creative team had a visual direction for the dev retreat brand, but they needed support with the deliverables. 

The dev retreat was set to happen a few days before the famous Roots n' Blues Music Festival in Columbia, MO, and the event would wrap with the team attending the music festival.

We came up with a name to complement the existing design elements, including a nod to Roots n' Blues: Algorhythm. 

The heart of the dev retreat brand was to help everyone find their rhythm and enjoy music with friends who really speak their language.
