Today, Trend Hunter was featured on the Wall Street Journal as the Workplace of the Day.
As our Chief Trend Hunter Jeremy Gutsche states in the WSJ feature, a bright, open office "helps information flow a lot better." With more and more CEOs and managers recognizing the importance of free thought in an office environment, companies are adapting an open-space concept in their respective workspaces that is much like Trend Hunter's own.
WSJ identifies Trend Hunter's office as "An office as hip as its occupants," and with a digitally projected scoreboard, international beer collection, vintage gaming-themed programmer's den, high ceilings and a complete lack of cubicle walls, the Trend Hunter office is just that.
