incentifi was created to change how people feel about wellness and how businesses support it. We saw a gap: employee wellbeing was being talked about, but not actually lived and really thought about further. Generic “perks”, rising stress, and disengaged teams had become the norm in work culture. So we set out to build something better, something people would actually want to use. incentifi is where wellness meets rewards and travel. Where small daily wins lead to real life value like travel, time and meaningful experiences. We make movement motivating and purposeful. And we help businesses build cultures where wellbeing isn’t an afterthought, it’s the core foundation. We’re not just another platform. We’re a movement towards a healthier, more motivated nation.

We’re building a community across the VFX world. Bringing Studios, Artists and Production Crew together currently across London, LA, New York, Amsterdam, Dublin and Berlin. Motus means movement and the VFX movement isn’t slowing down. Since the birth of VFX during 1920s cinema, the space has introduced creative solutions, overseen the birth of technology and in recent years seen exponential growth. This movement is accelerating… Netflix, Disney+, Amazon and Apple TV are creating content at a speed that VFX has to keep up with.
