Dull speeches. Lukewarm bitterballs. A DJ who put his Spotify list on shuffle. Yes, we know that kind of party. No, we really don't have to anymore. At GSE The Agency, we take a different approach. We believe: a staff party should feel like a mini-festival, a movie set or a fever dream (the good kind). An experience you share, remember and want to top next year.
Here are three staff party themes that are anything but standard. Each one designed to get your people in a totally different vibe. Ready for some boldness?
The office floor, but as a playground. Think: office chairs in the silent disco, a barista in the pantry and cocktails from the printer drawer. We take over your workplace and turn everything upside down. Or we build an office set at a totally different location. Including 'HR Confession Booth', budget karaoke and maybe a memewall with internal inside jokes.
Forget Ibiza. This party takes place in... It could be anywhere, but at least somewhere you wouldn't normally go easily. Think: a raw edge in Rotterdam, an abandoned theater in Deventer or a hidden garden in Eindhoven. We set up a city adventure full of hidden gems, street art, cocktails on rooftops and a touch of urban mystery. During the day you can get lost in a scavenger hunt along places where even Google Maps has never been before. At night, the party mode turns on!
A festival about your employees and the future. Future You Festival mixes growth and fun like a perfect cocktail. Have your future predicted by a 'corporate tarot reader', or just laugh really hard at the open mic where everyone can show hidden talents. In between the low-threshold workshops, food trucks and funky beats, something is created that goes far beyond a party. This is the playground where work, life and dreams intertwine.
A staff party is not a tick box event, it is an opportunity. It's the time to surprise, connect and give your team a break from the daily grind. So skip the room and board buffet. Go for something that touches people and that they will still be making memes about weeks later. It starts with a staff party theme, but goes much further than that.
Fancy coming up with something crazy, fresh or brilliantly weird together? With boldness, brains and just that little bit of magic? Let's co-create something unforgettable.
