Corporate Anniversary Celebration
After a recent acquisition, Braze wanted to bring their newly expanded team together for their annual anniversary party. The challenge? Creating a celebration that would unite 400 employees from different backgrounds and work cultures into one cohesive team experience. The solution transported guests from their Manhattan offices across the water to Brooklyn, where Strong Rope Brewery's laid-back atmosphere and stunning Statue of Liberty views provided the perfect escape from corporate routine. The venue's industrial-chic aesthetic created an ideal backdrop for authentic connection and celebration.
Throughout the evening, carefully planned surprise and delight elements kept energy high and engagement authentic. Live music filled the space while interactive games encouraged mingling across departments. Unique experiential touches like airbrush tattoos offered personalized keepsakes, while gourmet food stations and craft cocktails kept the celebration flowing seamlessly from cocktail hour through late-night dancing.
The result wasn't just another anniversary party – it was the kind of celebration that reminded everyone why they love being part of this newly expanded Braze family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do you plan corporate anniversary celebrations that successfully integrate teams from recent acquisitions or mergers?
A: Corporate anniversary celebration planning for newly merged teams requires strategic programming that creates shared experiences and builds unified company culture while celebrating both legacy achievements and future growth opportunities. We design environments that encourage cross-departmental interaction through carefully curated activities, entertainment, and venue selections that feel fresh and exciting rather than corporate or formal. Our approach includes interactive elements that naturally facilitate introductions, entertainment that appeals to diverse preferences, and experiential touches that create memorable shared moments that strengthen the expanded team's connection to company culture and values.
Q: What venue characteristics work best for large-scale corporate anniversary celebrations that encourage authentic team bonding?
A: Effective anniversary celebration venues combine unique character with flexible space design to create memorable experiences that feel special and authentic rather than typical corporate gatherings. Industrial-chic settings like breweries offer relaxed atmospheres that encourage natural interaction, distinctive backdrops for memorable moments, and flexible layouts that support both structured programming and organic networking. We evaluate venues for their ability to accommodate large groups while maintaining intimate feel, provide interesting visual elements for social sharing, and offer unique features that create conversation starters and lasting impressions among team members.
Q: How do you coordinate entertainment and interactive elements for large corporate anniversary events with diverse employee groups?
A: Large-scale anniversary event coordination requires diverse entertainment programming that appeals to different preferences while creating shared experiences that unite the entire team in celebration. We design multi-layered entertainment that includes live music for ambient energy, interactive activities that encourage participation across different comfort levels, and unique experiential elements that provide personalized takeaways and memorable moments. Our approach balances structured entertainment with organic networking opportunities, ensuring programming flows smoothly throughout the event while maintaining authentic celebration atmosphere that reflects company personality and values.
