Gatsby-Themed Gift for Sales Team Event

Client: Acumed
Event: Annual Sales Team Celebration
Objective: To celebrate a successful year, acknowledge the team’s hard work, and motivate them to continue their outstanding performance.

Background

Acumed’s sales team had an exceptional year, surpassing targets and delivering impressive results. To commemorate their achievements and inspire them to maintain their high performance, Acumed organised a themed event inspired by the classic elegance of "The Great Gatsby." The aim was to honour the past year’s success while encouraging the team to set their sights on even greater accomplishments.

Gift Concept

The gift was designed around a quote from "The Great Gatsby": "You can't repeat the past, why of course you can." This quote was selected to highlight the message that although the past year’s successes were noteworthy, the team has the potential to replicate and even exceed these achievements in the future.
