WE Communications — Corporate 'WeTreat'
In December 2022, we hosted WE Communications (one of the largest communications and integrated marketing agencies in the world) for a three-day corporate retreat called ‘WETreat’.
Mona Farm isn’t your traditional corporate destination. We’ve reimagined the cookie cutter ‘corporate retreat’ in a refreshingly new way which is why we LOVE clients like WE Communications who incorporated Drag Queen Trivia, A Fireside Dinner, ‘We Athletics’, Farm Tours, Grazing Boards and a Spritz Station into their itinerary.
As you’ll see in the video supplied by WE Communications, their Sydney & Melbourne teams had a blast. We’ve included their itinerary at the conclusion of this post (in case your boss needs a hint).
