You might be surprised at how much data you already have to start guiding your decisions on your next workplace. ⁠

COMUNiTI Live | The importance of brand in workplace design

6th October 2020

An organisations brand is far more than a logo, website or a suite of colours. It is the representation of the organisations purpose, why they exist, where they came from and where they are going. It is their story and personality. Every business has a unique brand personality and when this is infused into the very fabric of the environment, it elicits emotion, a feeling of connection and leads to the creation of culture. In this LIVE Melissa Marsden shares the importance of brand in workplace design.
