At Promotion Products, we know great merchandise starts with a great team and building that team takes more than just meetings in the office. Our 2025 Annual Offsite at The Star Brisbane was more than a change of scenery; it was a high-energy mix of strategy, creativity, and connection. Over two action-packed days, our entire team came together for planning, learning, and team-building activities (with plenty of laughs in between).
For us, an offsite isn’t just a work perk, it’s a powerful investment in company culture. Here’s why we run them every year, and what went down at our 2025 Annual Offsite Australia:
The Purpose Behind Our Annual Offsite
In the fast-paced world of promotional merchandise, deadlines, trends, and client needs are always evolving. Our annual offsite gives us the space to step back from the day-to-day and focus on what makes Promotion Products a great place to work:
- Strengthening relationships and building a supportive team culture
- Inspiring fresh thinking and encouraging creative problem-solving
- Collaborating across departments to share skills and knowledge
- Spotting opportunities for personal and professional growth
- Aligning on goals so everyone moves forward together
It’s more than a team getaway, it’s a culture investment that helps our people thrive and our business grow.
Inside the Highlights of Our 2025 Annual Offsite
Our two-day annual offsite was packed with activities designed to challenge us, bring us closer, and sharpen our focus for the year ahead.
We kicked off with a city-wide scavenger hunt, iPad’s in hand, split into teams and racing to complete creative challenges at various checkpoints. It was the perfect mix of problem-solving, strategy, countless steps and plenty of laughs.
From there, we shifted gears into goal-setting and collaborative work sessions, laying the groundwork for a strong year ahead.
Day two began with a tradition we love at Promotion Products: choosing our word for the financial year, a single guiding theme to steer our actions and decisions.
Next came The Big Picture, an exercise where each person painted a small section of a larger image. Matching colours and styles took real teamwork, and when we brought the pieces together, we revealed one united masterpiece, a perfect metaphor for how we work.
We wrapped up with our annual awards night, celebrating each other’s achievements and the wins that made the year special.
Living Our Values in Real Time
At Promotion Products, our values are more than words on a wall, they shape everything we do. We care about relationships, communicate and act with intent, commit to continual learning and development, and work as one connected team.
During our annual offsite, we brought those values to life:
- Workshops focused on team-based problem-solving
- Training sessions sharpened skills in merchandising trends, branding impact, and client engagement
- Group challenges encouraged cross-team collaboration (and delivered plenty of laughs)
These weren’t just team-building exercises, they were real moments where we lived our values out loud.

Final Word
