🎙 EPISODE 8: How a Simple Gift Became a Standout Experience at a Xmas In July Team Event

In this episode of The Experience Is Personal, we’re taking you behind the scenes of a Sydney team gathering where a thoughtful gesture was transformed into a memorable, personalised experience.

Over the course of the evening, one calligrapher hand-lettered journals for attendees using pointed pen calligraphy, while another team member went above and beyond by capturing candid photos of each guest receiving their gift.

Every detail — from the pacing of personalisation to the little extras that delighted attendees — was designed to make the moment meaningful and memorable.

This wasn’t just about writing names on journals. It was about creating connection, recognition, and a tangible memory that guests would keep long after the event ended.

You’ll hear how we:

• Managed a smooth flow of personalised interactions for all attendees
• Enhanced the experience with thoughtful, behind-the-scenes touches
• Created lasting impact through simple, intentional personalisation

If you want to learn how small gestures and going the extra mile can turn ordinary gifts into unforgettable experiences, this episode is packed with actionable insights.
