Saatchi & Saatchi’s creative solution to insufficient parking space and the rising cost of city parking.
Saatchi & Saatchi, a part of the Publicis Groupe, is a prominent & trusted player in the advertising industry. With a large and global team, the agency is known for its highly creative campaigns and innovative solutions. Auckland based Experience Manager, Bex Amos, is responsible for ensuring memorable interactions with staff, clients, and suppliers and plays a crucial role in shaping the local agency's reputation.
Before adopting Flex, Saatchi & Saatchi faced a pressing issue of insufficient parking space for its team. This challenge impacted the overall workplace experience for employees and not in a good way! With the cost of parking in the city rising, staff returning to the office were finding the additional weekly expense a real issue.
