In 2024, DPG Media came knocking not once, but twice; asking Whisk to bring their annual teambuildings to life.
Both the IT department and the RI&E team received their own tailor-made experience, each unique, but with one shared mission: to spark connection, fun, and memories that last. Two times DPG Media, two totally different vibes, both unmistakably Whisk.
For the IT team, we took 275 colleagues on an adventure. The location had to be easily accessible for those commuting from Amsterdam, Antwerp, or Vilvoorde; which led us to the beach at Scheveningen.
Sun, sea, and sand set the scene for a summery teambuilding focused on connection, with a healthy dose of competition on top.
DPG Media quickly let us in on a secret: their IT colleagues are pretty competitive. Music to our Whiskers’ ears! That’s how the concept Expedition DPG Media was born; a day packed with challenges where teams battled it out for the coveted DPG Media Expedition Trophy.
The first 20 registrants even received an exclusive Expedition package with mocktails and goodies, igniting the competitive spirit well before the event.
We transformed the beach bar into a true Expedition paradise. Think: orange-pink fringed parasols, tropical plants, wooden lounges, and a pink crocodile keeping watch over the atmosphere.
Branding in every corner, making sure DPG Media’s identity was felt everywhere.
The vibe was so good, we didn’t have to wait long for the question: “When are we doing this again?”
In the meantime, we’re already deep into planning the next IT edition. We won’t spill the details just yet, but trust us… we’re going to take it to the next level once again.
For a smaller group of 35 colleagues from Belgium and the Netherlands in the RI&E department, we brought winter vibes to life. No massive battles like with IT, but a healthy dose of friendly competition combined with plenty of cozy moments. Warm lights, Christmas sweaters, the scent of fondue, and plenty of snowy fun made this day a true winter highlight.
We started with a cozy reception, complete with drinks and great conversations. Then it was time to hit the ice. Curling brought out teamwork, friendly competition, and plenty of laughter.
Afterwards, everyone gathered for a winter dinner with everything included: from cheese fondue to gourmet dishes. We asked all guests to wear a Christmas sweater, instantly creating a homely, family atmosphere that completed the picture.
After dinner, we literally dove into the snow. Indoor skiing and snowboarding were on the agenda, with open slopes for the advanced and lessons for the beginners. Everyone moved at their own pace, but all with the same smile. A mix of adrenaline and après-ski vibes brought the team closer together.
The RI&E edition proved you don’t need a big crowd to create a memorable experience. What matters are the details, the atmosphere, and the connection. From Christmas sweaters to ski lessons: this winter teambuilding became a warm memory in cold times.
One thing is certain: whether it’s summer or winter, Whisk brings every team story to life.
Live marketing isn’t about simply organizing something. It’s about feeling a brand, experiencing a message and anchoring an emotion. Because let’s be honest: that’s what truly sticks. And that’s exactly what we stand for.
