Brightwild’s New Year Kickoff: Building Culture & Connection
One of our favorite things about being headquartered in a market like Key West is the energy it brings to our culture. With a full calendar of events—some planned months in advance, others spontaneous—we make it a priority to bring our team together beyond the day-to-day. But there’s one event that stands out as a true tradition: our New Year Kickoff. Instead of squeezing in a holiday party during the hectic year-end season, we took a different approach. We realized that between deadlines, travel plans, and the general chaos of December, holiday parties can feel more like an obligation than a true celebration. So, we flipped the script: rather than closing out the year with an event, we start the new year by reflecting on our wins and setting the tone for what’s ahead. And just like that, our annual New Year Kickoff was born.
