Vintory is a rapidly growing company that went from just a few employees to a team of 50 remote workers in under two years.
Team members joined from around the world, and as a global remote workforce, Vintroy was challenged with the task of uniting, motivating and building a team culture through the screen.

Strategy
A common question asked by most employees when asked to go above and beyond is “what’s in it for me?” On a good day, inspiring a team to work together through change management is not an easy task, and doing that through remote work is even more challenging.
Creating hyper-personalized experiences is one of the best ways to show employees they really matter. Gamification is also one of the greatest ways to break down hierarchies and rally everyone together around a shared purpose.
"A fun team building activity that was 100% customized to the team, which made it feel like the time and energy was put in to celebrate the team."

The Result
With limited time and budget, we went old school and created our very own search and find game to symbolize the whole purpose of Vintory’s new platform: to search and find new homeowner leads for their partners. The gameboard was the vacation rental market and the goal of the game was to find new homeowner leads. The surprise and delight element? We created personalized caricatures of each team member doing something they love and hid them in the game. We then sent each team member their caricature to keep! We surveyed team members before and after the big search and find, which included employee appreciation remarks from the CEO, and there was a notable upswing in positive attitudes towards the change and transformation of the company.
Insights
Gamification can be an incredibly powerful way for organizations and companies to create a shared experience, drive engagement, stimulate learning and leave a lasting impression.
It is possible to build connections through remote work, especially when you get creative and create a shared experience.
Gamification is an incredible way to “level the playing field” - bringing people together on the same team regardless of titles, years of experience, or work area.
