With office space at a premium, a growing number of designers, writers and creative freelancers are looking for better alternatives to dubiously wedging their laptops onto already overcrowded, cappuccino stained tables in noisy, push-chair filled coffee shops.
It seems that hot-desking has provided the unlikely solution…but not the hot-desking we once knew. At one time, these flexible, rent-by-the-hour desks were the casual, use-‘em-and-leave-’em luxuries only afforded by travelling businessmen who required an impersonal, claustrophobic box with suitably snooty concierge. That is until a few creative agencies stepped up to offer something altogether more fun, and far cooler, than the old-school stuffy beech-veneer desk with matching colour plastic cup filled with something masquerading as tea.
As more design and advertising agencies cut back on permanent staff and increase their use of freelancers, creative’s have had little choice but to become more mobile, flitting between clients, agencies and their home office with iPhone in one hand, super lightweight laptop in the other, portfolio balanced on their head. All well and good, but, there has been an unexpected consequence to all of this flexibility: the death of the creative buzz.
We’re now 5 years old and what better way to celebrate than with a new home, new brand image and new website?
Well, a cake would have been nice too…and maybe some balloons…but hey, we’re pretty happy with what we’ve got.
The new studio is excellent – even the local paparazzi came and took a look. We’re really very proud to be here – it is a literal hive of creative activity buzzing with exciting projects and opportunities.
The new logo and website sit very nicely with how we have evolved as a company over the years. Now a much bigger agency, the image needed to reflect a bold, new look. We think it’s achieved that and feedback has been great.
The new website is going to get bigger and bigger too. With regular blogs to give you the latest news and views from the world of marketing and design, you’ll get some great ideas and insights. We’ll also be building our portfolio section over the next few weeks to feature special clients and case studies each month as a thank you to them for using BigBird and to show the world what we’ve been up to.
It’s going to be a very busy and exciting time so we better get on with blowing out our imaginary candles on our non-existent cake and kicking around our invisible balloons.
Watch this space…
