Our Global Meetups Stimulate Collaboration and Community Loyalty: A Talk with Flytographer's Director

Michelle Ardiel is the Director of Photographer Operations at Flytographer, the very first platform created for vacation photographers that now works with 500 photographers in 300 cities around the world.

In this short interview, we delve into the ways Flytographer's annual meetups stimulate employee retention by creating a strong bond between its community and, most importantly, by reducing the loneliness feeling that often comes with the freelance lifestyle.
