As we continue celebrating our 25th anniversary, today's memory post takes us on a nostalgic journey through the many incredible Incite Nites and team retreats we've enjoyed over the years. INCITE Nites have become a cherished tradition, held about four times a year. We've bonded through scavenger hunts around Edmonton, random challenges, Cranks & Dranks (bike pub crawl), dinners, games and bowling. Our annual team retreats and mid-year retreats also feature an Incite Nite, blending strategic planning with activities that keep us connected and energized. These events showcase our strong team culture and commitment to building lasting relationships. Here's to many more years of unforgettable #InciteNites! Why "Nite" and not "Night"? To keep it “lite” and make it look cool.

Incite is excited to have supported We Know Training in their strategic acquisition of Fleet Safety International! As a leader in online driver education and in-vehicle training, Fleet Safety International "A" Driving School has set the standard for driver safety in Canada for over 40 years. By joining forces with We Know Training, a technology-enabled learning solution provider with a strong presence in regulated industries, they’re positioned to expand their impact even further. At INCITE, we advised We Know Training by developing a comprehensive communications and brand architecture strategy, ensuring a smooth and transparent transition. We equipped their team with tools, training and a roadmap to effectively communicate with employees, customers and stakeholders. Clear and timely communication was vital in showing frontline employees and key customers that they are valued and integral to the transition. We’re proud to contribute to a partnership that’s set to redefine driver safety training in Canada and beyond! #strategy #acquisition #mergersandacquisitions #consulting #communications #branding #Incite

"Culture eats strategy for breakfast." This famous quote from Peter Drucker has often been used to downplay the importance of #strategy. At INCITE, we see it differently. While #culture is undeniably crucial, a business without a solid game plan (strategy) is like a sports team with no direction. Imagine a team with great values and enthusiasm but no strategy and a coach who says, "Just get out there and figure it out." They’ll struggle to win, and losing quickly erodes morale and culture. People want to play for a winner. Conversely, a business with a strong strategy but lacking shared values and work ethic will also falter. Success comes from balancing both. Debating whether culture or strategy is more important is like arguing if breakfast is all about the bacon or the eggs. We believe breakfast is best with both on the menu. So, order up. We’re serving culture AND strategy for breakfast. Visit https://buff.ly/3vMs8zc to catch up on lessons learned or memories shared in celebration of Incite's 25th anniversary.

Our 25th anniversary celebration highlighting memories wouldn't be complete without recognizing the immense impact Roy Group Leadership and Ian Chisholm have had on INCITE's growth, philosophy and culture. From our first Roy Group experience in 2009, a custom 3-day experience at Brentwood Bay Resort, to co-delivering work for shared clients like ATB Financial and VC3, we have experienced many great times together. We have benefited from their reminder that “You Are the Work” and we frequently reference the powerful stories shared by Chiz, which inspire us to bring our best to our clients, communities and each other. We've worked with amazing clients, strategic partners and wise mentors, forming lasting friendships along the way. Roy Group Leadership stands out as one of the few we can proudly call a client, partner, mentor and friend.

We recently partnered with Portage College, to support them in both of those areas, while streamlining communications and fostering focused, resource-effective relationships. INCITE team members Jesse Meyer and Stephanie Sims lent their expertise to the project, and developed solutions for Portage College that can: - build relationships and revitalize alumni connections - enhance their engagement strategies - improve communication and fundraising efforts - strengthen the college's regional influence "We are immensely grateful for the strategic insights provided by Incite.

Celebrating our 25th anniversary has naturally led our team to reflect on some of our most meaningful milestones: our first year in business, office moves, client triumphs and our 20th-anniversary event in Kananaskis. In 2019, we celebrated our fiscal year-end and Christmas at the Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge (PKML). At the time, we’d been working with Pomeroy Lodging for two years as they renovated the space and joined the Marriott Autograph Collection. INCITE had developed a new brand and marketing strategy to position the property effectively post-renovation and re-introduce PKML to the market. Not only was it fulfilling (and a ton of fun) to see the visual branding come to life around the property, but we also got to immerse ourselves in the PKML brand experience. They added their signature flair to our team-bonding events like our ODR hockey game, set up some quality time for us in the Kananaskis Nordic Spa, served up mouth-watering dishes for dinner and delivered campfire smores to our private dining room. Now THAT is a brand experience we’ll never forget along with the equally memorable ugly sweater pub night. It was a gift to feel, taste and experience the PKML brand through the lens of such a special Incite celebration. Just wish they’d thrown the ugly sweater evidence in with the s’mores. 😄 This is memory 14/25.
