How We Can Help...

Travel Logistics
& Property Selection

We understand that two of the biggest hurdles to corporate retreat planning are finding the perfect location, and getting everyone there and back. Our team of experts will leverage our destination insight and network of trusted properties and partners to find you the ideal spot for your team's unique needs, and help you sort out all the flights and transfers.

Itinerary Planning
& Agenda Creation

We'll advise and help you fill out your days with the right balance of work sessions and engaging retreat team-building events and activities that everyone will love. From pasta-making classes in Italy to Amazing Races on Tuk-Tuks in Thailand, your team will share authentic experiences wherever you go.

On-Site Staffing
& Event Execution

On-site execution is the key to a flawlessly run program. We send our staff on every trip that we operate, ensuring our professional planners are taking care of all the on-site logistics and details, allowing our clients to sit back and enjoy the retreat that they planned as participants, not volunteers!

Fully Transparent Budgets & Open Book Accounting

With a 100% transparent philosophy, we detail every line-item in the retreat planning budget so you know exactly how every penny will be spent. You'll also have 24/7 live-access to the latest versions of your budget, no matter where you are or what time zone you're in. Your CFO will love us! :)

the process

How It Works

step 1

Intro Call

Every program begins with a phone call. We'll discuss your objectives, ask a few questions, and maybe even throw around a few ideas to begin. We'll explain what we actually do, how it all works, and how we might be able to help. From there, we'll send you a summary by e-mail and if all looks good - get started on a proposal.

step 2

Research & Proposal (Complimentary)

We're firm believers in knowing who you're dealing with before a single dime gets spent. Based on our initial conversations, we'll start digging through our mountains of resources to prepare a complimentary proposal for you, outlining at least 3-5 retreat locations with hotels, activities, and other elements we think would add some colour to each option.

Based on the proposed options we'll ask you to narrow down your top 3 choices and we will get to work preparing an agenda and high-level prelim budget for you to compare options and make an informed decision.

step 3

Letter of Engagement

After seeing our proposal, you'll decide whether you want to engage us to plan your program. Should you wish to dive deeper or change the scope of the initial proposal we will ask you to sign a simple agreement and make a small deposit as a virtual handshake and acknowledgement of the additional work.

A signed letter of engagement will entitle you to 3 additional scope changes including; date changes, date pattern changes, destination, hotel options, change in group size, budget increases/ decrease, changes thereafter will incur an additional agreed-upon fee charged per hour.

From there, we'll get cracking on diving deeper to find the perfect place for your program.

step 4

Contract and Planning

By this stage, we've more or less figured out (A) the destination, (B) where (and when) you're going, and (C) the general outline of the day-to-day retreat agenda.

Only after you're happy with the budget and itinerary from Step 3, will we finalize the process by signing a contract. After that, the real fun begins as we roll our sleeves up and get elbow deep into the heaps of retreat planning that lies ahead. (But don't worry, we'll be doing most of it!)

step 5

On-Site Execution

Our staff will be in the forefront (while simultaneously in the background, clipboards and all), ensuring everything runs seamlessly and your guests' every need and whim is attended to.

Think of us as your butler, concierge, and Bat Phone all rolled into one – except instead of Alfred, call us Moniker.

Keith Valory

“The trip literally brings the group together. Most importantly people are connected, which helps make it clear what we want to accomplish as a company.”

Allison Dean

Dir. of Operations, TheoremOne

The value of a company retreat is imperative to company culture. If you want a retreat to have a lasting impact in the minds of all attendees, truly custom experiences are critical. Moniker will always be my pick for all the details they bring, big to small, and the overall WOW

Caroline Yost

Head of People, Bombas

Moniker is an absolute dream to work with - from their proposal creation, to swag and execution of our Spring Retreat. They exemplify a true all-hands-on-deck attitude, and were willing to do anything and everything to ensure we had the time of our lives. I can't wait to work with them on our next retreat!

Hats off to the amazing Moniker team for making our first company offsite in over 2 years absolutely unforgettable!

Their on-site service was impressive; they prepared for every possible scenario and ran interference before any issue that had the potential to arise.

Dr. Wayne Mullen

Thanks for organising, it couldn't have been an easy task to co-ordinate so many people and events but you pulled it off and everything seemed to run so smoothly!

Taylor s.

Solutions Consultant, Vivun

The Moniker team was beyond incredible! I don't think I would have enjoyed the trip even half as much without them. Not only are they all wonderful people but they made everything seem effortless. It was so comfortable and well coordinated that you enjoyed every second. I can not say enough wonderful things about this crew!

FAQs

A Couple of Common Retreat Questions

Where are the best locations for a corporate retreat?

Finding the best corporate retreat location depends entirely on the objective of your retreat. From all-inclusive properties in Mexico, to fantastic locations near NYC, or unique destinations around the world - there are so many corporate retreat locations globally that work for groups of different needs and sizes. While we can’t recommend a location unless we know more, take a look at our blog posts for great corporate retreat planning ideas!

How do I structure my retreat agenda?

Similar to deciding on a location, structuring your retreat agenda depends entirely on the objective of your retreat. Retreats can range from one night to seven, and can include days full of meetings or no meetings at all! While it’s hard to answer this question without knowing more, check out our blog posts on structuring your retreat agenda, or reach out to start a proposal.

What type of retreat activities or retreat games would you suggest?

Activities and games are the best part of corporate retreat planning. We always suggest a mix or balance of team-building activities and optional activities. We usually have to know more about your team before suggesting activities or games, but we have some fantastic ideas on our blog, here!

How much does a company retreat cost?

We definitely can’t answer this question without knowing more about your destination, activities, hotels, or flights. There are always so many additional costs to account for and take a look at our budgeting cheat sheet to learn more. Reach out via our contact form if you would like a complimentary proposal that will showcase ideal potential locations and venues as well as the associated costs.
