“VaynerMedia is an extremely people-first company. Because of this, we remain committed to being flexible for our in-office community collaboration with our people and our clients, as well as how we continue to work remotely. Our priority is to meet our people where they’re at, wherever that may be.”
Peter Greenspan Global Head of Real Estate
WeWork
“There has never been a stronger moment for flexible office space. The past 18 months have fundamentally shifted the idea of the office, demanding a completely new approach to how businesses small and large think about their real estate footprint. As companies continue to navigate the changing needs in office space, WeWork continues to provide members flexibility at scale. Whether that’s flexibility in time, space, or geography.”
Dimitry Krol Associate – Entertainment Labor Group
Loeb & Loeb LLP
“The entertainment industry has been at the forefront of navigating how employers can safely return to work during the pandemic. It has instituted policies and procedures which have proven successful and can be emulated by other businesses as they gauge on how best to return to an in-person work environment.”
Blake Searles Senior Managing Director
JLL Los Angeles
“While companies across various industries contemplate the degree of return to office, the entertainment industry has been a leader in safely and effectively repopulating places of work due in large part to the highly specialized and collaborative nature of their day to day business activities.”
