The WM Palace
May 14th, 2009 Posted in Amy Marshall 
We’ve received a lot of requests lately to see the Webbed Marketing office space (also known as the WM Palace). The latest request was from a business associate and I quote, “I want to see where the WM magic is made.” That is a good one!
For those of you that know Webbed or have worked with us, we are unique – in a good way. Webbed Marketing is a virtual company meaning for the most part our employees work from home…or Panera Bread…or any place with free wifi. Our employees have expressed that they love this benefit. However, as we’ve grown over the last 2 years from 4 to 10+ employees, the need for an official full time space was required. Last summer we found a small and humble office space in Grandview, one of our favorite spots in Columbus and central to our clients.
Our office does not have cube spaces – it’s an open work space environment. And it’s certainly not fancy! (Folks that have been here know what I’m talking about!) We have the bare necessities like tables, chairs, printer, phone, coffee machine, a small college dorm fridge and a continual supply of snacks for Bill. Our philosophy is to spend money on our clients and not on ourselves. Simple? Maybe. Getting good results for our clients and having a good time while doing it is about all we need!
The team has even named the individual rooms! The “main” meeting room is where the team meets once a week for our official account review meeting. Then there is the “guacamole room” (it’s green) where we host our small client meetings. Last is the “mullet room” which means “the party in the back room”. It’s not really the party room but looks like it! Each of the team members brought something of meaning to hang on the walls. Interesting all by itself. Items range from a Godfather poster to an Aerosmith Japanese concert t-shirt to Blue Moon posters!
Yes, we are simple but we choose not to spend money on our office space and pass that cost onto our clients. So maybe when we finally get around to putting some professional things on the walls and sprucing the place up, we’ll have an open house. But until then, appreciate the space for its purpose and we’ll meet you at Marshall’s down the street!

Okay, I am WAY behind on my blog reading. I am so glad I stopped by the WM blog to read this post. I totally need a mullet room! Thanks for putting the sunshine back in my 4-walls-without-a-window-or-pictures-cube.
