Growth with the Built for Marketing Team

Last month, the Built for Marketing team gathered to collectively build the future of BFM, and the experience was nothing short of transformative. From collaborative brainstorming sessions to strengthening our relationships, every moment spent together was invaluable. And let’s not forget the incredible food and sunshine that added to the experience!

One of the highlights of our time together was the diverse minds around the table. As one team member noted, “What was especially amazing for me was the workshop and the diversity of minds around the table. There was no loudest voice in the room! We pivoted, spent time sharing different perspectives and inputs across cultures, countries, and our different areas of passion.” This atmosphere of mutual respect and openness allowed us to explore a wide array of ideas, leading to innovative solutions and fresh perspectives.

For some of us, the workshop was a chance to reconnect with long-time colleagues. “I couldn’t believe how after 20 years of working with others, Felicity and I melded back so quickly, enabling magic to happen again!” The ease with which old connections were rekindled was matched by the excitement of forming new ones. A new member of the BFM community shared, “As a new member, I enjoyed having the chance to meet everyone in person in Madeira. Exploring our shared values during the workshop was interesting and reinforced my sense that in BFM, I have found my people.”

Trust was a key factor in the success of our workshop, and it was established early on. “One of the reasons the workshop was so engaging and successful was that we have established trust whilst working remotely together, this was further enhanced in facilitated session of getting to know each other more personally” This foundation of trust allowed us to dive deep into discussions about BFM’s strategy and how we work. “It was great to meet the whole team in person. The workshops, afforded us the opportunity to discuss the BFM strategy and the way we work so that we have a common sense in which to move forward.”

Our workshop provided a unique opportunity to explore everyone’s individual experiences and areas of expertise in more detail. “This was not only incredibly insightful but also gave us a chance to explore, expand, and diversify the solutions we can offer our clients.”.

Madeira served as the perfect backdrop for our gathering. Its stunning landscapes and vibrant culture provided a refreshing environment for our work. The beauty of the location added to the overall experience, making our time together even more special.

As we reflect on our time in Madeira, we are filled with excitement and positivity for the future. The event was a testament to the power of collaboration, trust, and shared vision. We look forward to many more such experiences as we continue to innovate and expand the horizons of Built for Marketing. Here’s to the future and the incredible journey ahead!
