Key Takeaways

  • Identifying the space: Key stakeholders and members of the business unit should be involved as much as possible in choosing a space. The space matters a lot when it comes to physical workflows.
  • You need clarity on what you're trying to achieve. Do you need more space to store product? Are you building a flagship studio to attract talent or brands?
  • Like many things in business, understand your goals and identify ways to achieve them with your physical space.
  • Evaluating your entire workflow to understand output and how it may improved, will have an impact on how many sets you may need in the new space.
  • Art direction also plays a role in space needs. How much light control do we need? How high should the ceilings be?
  • Do what you can to extend the brand experience into your studio. This helps your talent feel engaged WITH the brand while creating content FOR the brand.
