eCreation's summer celebrations

Uniting under the sun: eCreation’s summer celebrations

August 4, 2025

As the long days of summer roll on, the spirit of collaboration and camaraderie at eCreation comes alive in vibrant gatherings that stretch from the misty mornings of the Philippines to the sun-drenched roof-tops of London and the scenic waterways of Poland. Summer 2025 has been a season of celebration, of our teams, our achievements, and the unique, shared experiences that bind us as an international family. Over the past two months, eCreation colleagues from across the world have stepped away from their screens and deliverables to laugh, converse, and connect, reminding us all that something magical happens when real people come together as real teams.

In this post, we recount three unforgettable summer events, our UK Summer BBQ, a festive Filipino buffet, and a river cruise party in Bydgoszcz, that illustrate how eCreation thrives on bringing people together, celebrating collective success, and, above all, having fun.

Sunny Skies and Sizzling Flavours: The UK Summer BBQ

June in the UK can be notoriously unpredictable. This year’s company summer BBQ kicked off on a scenic roof-top terrace, high above the city streets, with an early drizzle that threatened to put a dampener on our plans. Yet by midday, clouds parted to reveal glorious sunshine, perfect timing for the feast that awaited our team.

A Feast to Remember

Guests were treated to a mouth-watering spread that had everyone coming back for more, from honey-glazed halloumi sticks, mini gourmet sliders and grilled lobster tails to Janet’s famous roast pork.

Everyone mingled freely, balancing plates and drinks while admiring the panoramic views. Laughter and conversation flowed easily as colleagues sampled Janet’s pork straight off the grill and swapped tips for the perfect margarita.

Building Bonds Beyond the Office

Against the backdrop of a golden sunset and urban skyline, teams that normally meet over video calls found new connections. By the time the last margarita was poured and the BBQ cooled, everyone agreed: bringing people together, in any weather, fuels the creativity and collaboration that define eCreation.

Rain or Shine: A Filipino Feast to Remember

July in the Philippines often ushers in the rainy season, and this year was no exception. Yet as raindrops tapped gently against the windows of Niu by Vikings, a venue famed for its sumptuous spreads, our Manila-based eCreation family proved that neither clouds nor monsoon winds could dampen spirits.

Between each mouthful, colleagues raised their glasses and toasted to completed sprints, work anniversaries, and the simple joy of working alongside friends.

Stories Shared, Bonds Strengthened

Seated at long tables, teams found themselves face-to-face rather than screen-to-screen. Newer hires learned first-hand about company values; senior staff heard shared company updates; and everyone swapped life stories, from family traditions to favourite travel spots.

Despite the rain pattering outside, the atmosphere inside was electric. In a place where work often involves tight deadlines and remote logins, this in-person communion served as a powerful reminder of why we do what we do: to ensure quality, drive impact, and share success, together.

Sailing Into Inspiration: The Poland Office Summer Cruise

As July waned, the eCreation Poland office in Bydgoszcz pulled out all the stops for a summer party unlike any other. The centerpiece? A scenic cruise along the Brda River, whose gentle waters and historic riverbanks provided an idyllic backdrop for networking, brainstorming, and pure relaxation.

Cruising in Style

Boarding the vintage-style riverboat, guests were greeted with refreshing drinks. As the vessel set off, the city’s baroque façades and lush riverside parks slid by, punctuated by the docks where kayakers and rowers paused to wave hello.

Conversations ranged from upcoming project roadmaps and media supply chain solutions to fond recollections of earlier summer gatherings.

United Across Borders

The travel arrangements of our UK management team to and from Bydgoszcz was almost an adventure in itself: planes delayed by air-traffic control, connections across Europe’s railway network, and last-minute car rides. Their arrival, some breathless but all smiles, embodied eCreation’s global spirit. Their presence elevated the event, reinforcing that distance is no barrier to collaboration.

When the riverboat returned to shore at dusk, the sunset painted the water in shades of gold and rose. As team members disembarked, there was a palpable sense of inspiration in the air, proof that stepping outside the office environment can spark fresh ideas and reaffirm why we work so well together.

Threads of Unity: What These Events Reveal About eCreation

Across three distinct geographies, each with its own climate, cuisine, and culture, one theme rang clear: eCreation succeeds when our people come together. Whether under sunny skies or through gentle rain, each event illustrated how we:

  1. Embrace Cultural Diversity
    From British coastal flavors to rich Filipino street-food traditions and hearty Polish classics, our summer gatherings celebrated the unique backgrounds that inform our global outlook.
  2. Foster Authentic Connections
    Breaking free from daily routines, teammates discovered new facets of each other, shared passions, hidden talents, and mutual respect, strengthening working relationships and personal friendships alike.
  3. Celebrate Achievements Creatively
    Good food and scenic settings served as more than just backdrops: they became catalysts for creative thinking and collaborative problem-solving, reminding us that fun and productivity go hand in hand.
  4. Demonstrate Resilience and Adaptability
    A mid-morning UK shower, a Filipino monsoon downpour, and travel-induced delays did little to dampen spirits. Instead, they underscored our collective ability to roll with the punches, essential in a fast-paced digital landscape.

Looking Ahead: Carrying the Momentum Forward

As the sun begins to dip below the horizon of another summer, we carry with us the warmth of shared smiles, the zest of new ideas, and the unmistakable energy that comes from genuine togetherness. These events are more than seasonal perks; they are strategic investments in our most valuable asset: our people.

In the months ahead, we’ll parlay the inspiration from the BBQ grill’s glow, the echoing laughter under the buffet hall’s lights, and the tranquil lull of the Brda River into sharper collaboration, bolder innovation, and stronger client outcomes. We’ve seen firsthand that when we gather as teams, across desks, time zones, and continents, there’s no limit to what eCreation can achieve.

Thank you to everyone who made this summer unforgettable: the hosts who organized, the attendees who brought energy and enthusiasm, and the leadership who recognized that shared experiences fuel not only morale but mastery. Here’s to more moments of connection, more chances to celebrate our collective success, and a bright future shaped by the diverse talents of the global eCreation team.
