It has been open since last year and in the last few months we’re also seeing pitches and other client meetings going on… hopefully this year a company-wide holiday party gets on-site too! It would be amazing as the building was inaugurated right before the pandemic and it has been difficult to enjoy a “campus life” as it was promised at the time moved in here.

Nice

It’s open. Most agencies moved in shortly before the pandemic shut things down (as in weeks before). As a former WPP employee, it really killed the agency vibe I had with my old company and felt very cold and sterile, lacking any unique personality between agencies. Working there post WFH was highly annoying after so much quiet, isolated work in my home office. It’s *nice* but I personally hated working there.
