Media and Advertising sector office insights and trends | SHB

Media and Advertising

SHB specialises in helping media, marketing and advertising companies secure spaces that fuel creativity, attract talent and support agile ways of working. Wherever we're placing Media & Creative firms, from East London’s warehouses to Soho's surrounds, creative businesses share a need for inspiring, flexible and collaborative workspaces that match the pace of the industry. For media and advertising firms, the office is more than a workspace. It’s part studio, part client showroom and a critical tool for attracting and retaining talent in a fiercely competitive industry. Getting it right is complex.
