The most important element in designing a workspace isn't the workspace at all. If you're looking to expand or relocate, consider the company culture as a defining element in your design.

Thanks for that! Today you have offices in: Austin, San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles?

May I ask if you have international customers and social media resellers?

That's right, and those offices are growing steadily! We have some international customers and many in Canada. There actually is a reseller program that we have for our services. If you'd like to discuss that possibility further, you should reach out to our Regional Development Manager, Andrew Glass. He'd be happy to discuss it with you. His email is andrew.glass @ mainstreethub.com

Yes, it is great to see that innovation is thriving and that companies are trying to create nice workspaces!

Talking about workspaces, have you heard about Breather?

It's tough to pick a favorite, since they all incorporate really cool elements. Definitely seen this popping up around the world. Startups are hot all over, from the UK to Israel and other parts of Asia. Great to see innovation thriving, isn't it?

Could you list some other companies that have designed their workspace, reflecting their company cultures?

Absolutely! A lot of the big names in technology are doing similar things, so you can look to Facebook and Google's office designs, Box, and even Fast Company has done some really cool stuff that encourages collaboration and an environment based around employees.
