Remote Marketing Staffers Surprise Coworkers in London, Impressing TikTok Users with Company Culture

Two remote staffers at influencer marketing startup Lightning flew from Canada to London to surprise their UK teammates they'd been working with for roughly two years but had never met in real life. The documented journey was shared to TikTok, where commenters applauded the agency's "immaculate" corporate culture. The company had rented an Airbnb in Notting Hill, where they organized both work and bonding activities, including dinners, nightclubbing, karaoke, and outings to a soccer match and theme park. The video has resonated with fellow remote workers, which can be an "isolating" experience.
