Team Cheers Away Grumps for Great American Grump Out!
At Pixel Perfect Productions, a creative marketing agency, the annual Great American Grump Out presented a unique challenge. Morale was… well, grumpy. A few late projects and a particularly tough client had everyone feeling the weight of the work. Lead designer, Amelia, knew a change of pace was needed, but coordinating a large-scale team event with a tight budget and a remote contingent proved daunting.
Amelia turned to Zoho and Skedundee’s expertise. Using Zoho Cliq, she quickly rallied the team, proposing a “Grump-Busting” escape room challenge held in the company’s conference room. Zoho Books helped track expenses, ensuring the project stayed within the allocated $500. The biggest hurdle was coordinating schedules for over 20 employees, some working from home. Zoho Bookings, expertly configured by Skedundee, allowed employees to easily book their preferred time slot to participate.
Skedundee’s Zoho setup included automated reminders via Cliq, preventing no-shows. Zoho CRM was utilized to send personalized invitations to key clients, inviting them to observe the team’s efforts from a separate viewing area. A fun survey, managed through Zoho Forms, gauged employee preferences for escape room themes, ensuring maximum engagement.
“It was amazing how seamless everything was,” Amelia exclaimed. “Zoho’s tools, combined with Skedundee’s automation, made the entire process stress-free. The escape room was a huge success – laughter echoed through the office, and the team returned to their desks with renewed energy.”
