Hey there,

My journey through various team landscapes from a bustling digital agency to a fast-paced startup, from founding a product studio to diving into a team-building venture has unveiled a recurring hiccup: keeping everyone on the same page. The shift from close-knit in-office interactions to the dynamic realm of remote communication opened a new world of challenges, and that's where the idea of highlight started brewing.

The camaraderie of a single office and the digital buzz of remote setups brought to light one paramount challenge—nurturing a shared understanding amidst our diverse ways of communicating.

Transitioning from the spontaneous chatter of a physical office to the continuous stream of Slack pings in the remote realm brought its own flavor of chaos. And as teams expanded, contracted, and evolved, staying in sync became a game of digital hopscotch.

That's where the seed of highlight was sown. A vision of a digital “town hall” where the day's pulse meets the big picture. A place where everyone—whether you thrive on face-to-face banter or written exchanges—can catch the latest, share a thought, and feel the rhythm of our collective journey.

With highlight, the aim is to cut through the 'noise', bring the essence of our goals, achievements, and stories to the forefront, creating a common ground where every team member, regardless of their location or department, can feel plugged into the heart of what we do.

As I carve out this digital haven, I’ll be sharing snippets of the journey through posts on team culture, syncing our organizational heartbeats, mastering the art of balanced communication, and spotlighting tools that have smoothed our path.

I'm excited to have you along as highlight unfolds.
