Pixafy company retreat: Play ball!
At Pixafy, our focus on people doesn’t stop with customers; it extends to our employees. As such, from time to time we take a company retreat to encourage team building and relationships within the company.

The Yankees weren’t victorious but that didn’t stop us from enjoying the game and what it had to offer.

We certainly hit a home run with this company outing; Check out our Facebook album filled of pictures from our trip!
