Here is more proof that @salesforce is officially one of the coolest companies on the planet. ☁️✨

We’ve been holding onto this one for a bit, but for an event this special, it was worth the wait. Last summer, we were honored to be part of Salesforce Adventure Club, a global celebration where workplaces transform into play spaces. The Seattle office truly understood the assignment. 🌍

This wasn’t just a Bring Your Kid to Work Day event. It was a masterclass in smiles and pure fun. 😊

From the non-stop wonder of our Bubble House and Cloud 9 Adventure Course to the energy of the Super Luxe Ball Pit + Slide, seeing the team swap their laptops for ball pits and family time was everything. It is exactly why we do what we do. 

We love partnering with brands that value experience and family as much as we do. It was a privilege to help create these moments for the @salesforce team.🩵

Salesforce Seattle, you set the bar last year. We’re already counting down the days until we’re back on-site this summer to do it all over again. 🎉
