The Nest Downtown Offices

Venue Partner

The energy drink brand activation we hosted generated incredible buzz among our resident companies. Not only did it break up the workday and boost morale, but we also earned a nice revenue share that helped offset our operating costs. It's a win-win when you find partners whose products genuinely resonate with your members.

Momentum Workspace Collective

Venue Partner

We partnered with a premium coffee roaster for a sampling event last month, and it was fantastic for our community. Our members were genuinely excited about discovering a new local brand, and we saw great engagement in our common areas. The activation also brought in some walk-in traffic from the building that we don't typically see.
