RETHINK THE WAY YOU WORK
Spurred on by the outbreak of CV-19 businesses are rethinking their working arrangements, having experienced the success of remote working over the past few months.
With the infrastructure and policy needed for remote working already in place for the vast majority of businesses with teams being able to easily connect through applications such as Zoom and Trello, companies are coming to the realisation that the need to have their team situated in one centralized location may be a thing of the past.
In fact, many businesses have found productivity has increased amongst their team as they enjoy the benefits of not having to spend hours commuting to and from work each day.
On top of this, with the obligation to ensure their teams safety, returning staff to the office will not be a simple and smooth transition for companies as many traditional office spaces will not comply with the new CV-19 workplace regulations.
How can we help you?
As restrictions start to be eased and we begin to return to some form of normality we have put together the attached WOTSO Return to Work Pack to assist our members with their decision-making process.
The pack lets our WOTSO community know what we are doing to help make their return to work transition as safe and as hassle free as we can.
So, with our flexible, no lock in contracts, and safety guidelines in place, WOTSO is a great place to house your team as you and your business come to grips with the ‘new normal.’
WOTSO is your neighbourhood flexible office.

We are a full stack digital marketing studio. We design, write and build beautiful websites, and build lead generating Facebook ad campaigns with digital sales funnels.
Being a multi-disciplinary creative is by far the key to my success, in my own career and with my studio Pixel Co Creative & Marketing (www.pixelcocreative.com.au). I have seen the frustration business owners have of managing multiple specialists to roll out a campaign, even having multiple creatives in a larger agency can pose mixed messaging issues. My background in graphic design, web design, copywriting and social media marketing means I am able to work across the full range of digital and media platforms. My clients appreciate having one point of contact with a strong marketing strategy across each platform, often saving a lot of communication time.
We have always worked with clients remotely, so that didn’t pose any operational issues. However, as the economy started to writhe about and retract, we had to meet the market where they were at by changing our product offerings and being really flexible with how we packaged our services, how we offered payment, how we worked with clients through projects (we found people needed much more reassurance and one-on-one time than before). Our most popular digital marketing growth strategy services have been overtaken by more primal ‘Help me get my business/course/shop online STAT!’ requests.For our long-term clients, we offered extra marketing strategy sessions and support at no charge to help them brainstorm and see new opportunities when sometimes the pandemic-storm made it hard for them to see clearly. This offering of service was to help as many of our clients through as possible in a pay-it-forward approach that we are certain will see our business reap rewards when the time is right.
I have definitely seen two groups emerge during the last two months since we’ve been in this pandemic. Group A is (of those that were forced to close their doors) going into hibernation and waiting it out. They plan on waking up their business once it’s back to ‘normal’.Group B are working quickly, with laser-like focus to adapt their business (sometimes in very creative ways) to meet the market where they are at right now. I’ve seen this happen in a number of ways. They’ve rolled out new products to meet demand (in completely different areas to what they currently produce). They’ve developed and launched entire new businesses (logo, website, supply chains), they’ve taken large regional expo events online, service and trade industries have increased advertising to take advantage of the cheaper lead acquisition costs right – sometime even just to grow an audience that they can nurture to convert once the doors open again later.
My Digital Coordinator, Jess, and I had to leave the usual quiet isolation of my home office to find another quiet location to work from! Thanks to Wotso Sippy Downs, we have found a home away from home. I was intending on a short stay until my family all went back to school/work – but we love the space here and we have loved meeting other business owners in such a wide variety of industries, we have decided to stay on.
