Hi Craig, We have a 1 minute promotional video on our homepage: http://www.locusworkspace.com. Inside that video is a 5-10 second clip of a Czech coworker talking (in Czech with English subtitles) about why he likes coworking. Have a look, and if you'd like to splice it in, let me know and I'll

Hi Craig, Did you (or your team) buy the Longbranch location? I saw that it was for sale a few months ago, and I see that the website has had a great facelift. The video sounds like a great idea. There was a few audio files that were similar to this (or I guess more of an interview style) a year

Hi, Craig. Me and my partner had a similar idea some weeks ago, but a little bit different. We and some brazilian space owners started a project called Coworking Exchange. The project goal is to improve the relationship between coworking spaces. One of the first idea that we had is making a

I like the idea and I'm guessing we could do it like a game of telephone where one person creates a video and then another space responds and ends with a questions for the next coworking space to respond to. This would be pretty cool but I would also like to do the general What You Like About
