Hypothesis Summer Party 2022: We Came, We Saw, We Tiki'd

After a long hiatus (thanks a lot, COVID), Team Hypothesis was excited to once again get together for another epic Summer Party. We’ve welcomed many new faces since our last in-person gathering, so having almost everyone in one room was incredibly special. And in true Hypothesis fashion, we did it up right.

The party was hosted at Belle’s Beach House in Venice, a quintessential Tiki bar with tons of personality and a super attentive staff. We decided to go all-in with the theme, dusting off our most colorful Summer wear for the occasion.

Employees were greeted with custom Hypothesis-branded coconut beverages, and serenaded with a live ukulele performer while socializing with new and longtime colleagues. The space was enhanced with the most gorgeous tropical bouquets, created by one of our multi-hyphenate employees who moonlights as a talented florist. The bar featured custom cocktails that nodded to our company history and values and a lavish Polynesian buffet followed, with custom cookie souvenirs for the road.

When 4pm rolled around, it was clear we weren’t done spending time together and wanted to continue the evening. What’s a group of researchers and strategists to do? Roll up 90 people strong to a rooftop bar, of course. The barkeeps were kind enough to let us flood their beautiful space ad hoc, and we enjoyed a classic West Coast sunset while toasting to the year ahead.

All in all, it was a fabulous time full of new friendships, revelry, and Hyppy memories. We’re so grateful to our hardworking and thoughtful Operations team for planning such a special event, and to our out-of-town employees for making the trip out to celebrate another excellent year helping brands do amazing things!
