The Stakes
What Was on the Line
This was Fiverr’s first in person team building event since the pandemic, and the company had not run a live gathering at this scale in years. Senior executives were attending, so the room had to land. With a six to seven week planning window, the pressure was on EMRG Media to find a space cool enough to drive a strong turnout and deliver an event that proved in person gatherings were worth bringing back.
The Challenge
What Made This Hard
A rooftop team-building event of this complexity — 200 employees, a six to seven week planning window, and a workforce returning to in-person events for the first time, created a set of production demands that simply don’t exist at a standard corporate party.
- A six to seven week planning window with no room for delay
- Securing a rooftop space cool enough to guarantee strong attendance from a workforce returning to in person events for the first time
- Coordinating food, drinks, and multiple activations within a defined budget
- Senior executives in the room
- Delivering a polished, high energy event for a client used to virtual programming, not live production
Why They Chose Us
Why EMRG
Fiverr’s relationship with EMRG Media started during the pandemic, when the team produced several virtual events together, including comedians and dueling pianos performed remotely. When Fiverr was ready to bring its people back together in person, there was no question who would run it. The team had already proven itself across multiple events, and that track record carried directly into this first live gathering.
The Solution
What EMRG Built
EMRG Media owned the full production of the event, from venue sourcing through onsite execution. The team identified Somewhere Nowhere as the rooftop space, coordinated with the venue on food and beverage, and built out a full slate of activations designed to make the day memorable for a workforce returning to in person events for the first time.
The biggest operational risk was filling a rooftop venue with 200 employees who hadn’t gathered in person in years and keeping energy high from start to finish. EMRG built a detailed run of show that moved the day from registration through entertainment without lulls, dead time, or logistical confusion — with 35 onsite staff managing every moving part so Fiverr’s leadership could focus entirely on their people.
