One of the best ways to appreciate employees’ hard work and commitment is to celebrate their work anniversaries. It boosts morale, motivation and encourages to stay with the organization. Grammarly, the leading AI-powered writing assistant, understands the importance of employee recognition and celebrates their work anniversaries with corporate gifts. For this article, we sat down with Gala, on-site programs specialist, to discuss how they leverage Maramio for work anniversaries and provide tips for others who would like to do the same.
How Grammarly Solved the Challenge of Corporate Gifting During Office Relocation
Grammarly is a cloud-based typing assistant that reviews spelling, grammar, punctuation, and delivery mistakes in English texts. Being a company with Ukrainian roots, Grammarly had to quickly open offices in Europe after the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
This posed challenges to well-established Human Resources processes. The company had faced new rules of how things are done in Europe, new rules for taxes, and new ways of shipping. It took extra effort to find people and services that could provide the quality and support they were looking for. With many HR programs paused due to the move, work anniversaries remained in place.
“Work anniversary is an important appreciation move, аnd employees’ appreciation is in our culture”, explains Gala. “The company is grateful and thanks you with a gift.”
To make sure they found the right vendors, Grammarly conducted thorough research and chose to work with Maramio gifting platform.
Why Grammarly Choose Corporate Gifting with Maramio
“We were looking for a service that meets several requirements”, Gala says. “We need a good selection of electronics, customization, human support, and a dedicated manager. Another important point for us is storing and shipping - we don’t have the capacity in-house, and it’s a huge task. We also wanted our employees to let choose what they want”.
That’s exactly what Maramio is about. We help to select, store, and ship corporate gifts. Here are the key features of our platform:
- A wide variety of customized products
- The ability to store swag in the Maramio warehouse
- Branded redeem page to let employees choose what they want
- Europe-friendly shipping rates
- International logistics with duties and taxes handled
- Reduced operational load due to multiple vendors combined in one checkout
With Maramio’s Logistics Center being located in Germany, Grammarly benefited from the domestic shipping prices for the packages going to the Berlin hub, as well as friendly international prices for remote employees in Europe.
How Redeem Page Helps to Craft the Perfect Work Anniversary Gift

"At Grammarly, we know that each of our employees is unique and that’s why we give them the power to choose their work anniversary gift through a special redeem page", explains Gala.
Grammarly offers a range of branded and non-branded products as anniversary gifts for employees. The employee’s anniversary year with the company is taken into account to adjust the gift offering for different anniversary years. These products are pre-ordered and stored at Maramio’s warehouse. Using a redemption page Grammarly, lets their employees choose a gift that is sure to make them smile.
And it does deliver the smile!
5 Tips for a Successful Employee Anniversary Campaign
If you’re looking to leverage a gifting platform for corporate gifts, here are some tips from Grammarly to keep in mind:
- Value employees for each milestone, it is a touchy moment not to miss on
