Imagine sitting in a busy caf\u00e9 or co-working space. You\u2019re surrounded by what appears to be young professionals, some working fiercely, some doing intermittent tasks, some chatting with other patrons. Your mind may wander, considering briefly what they do for a living, what task they\u2019re working on, or if they like their job. In fact, few of them are employed. Others are in a pretend office, <\/em>paying up to $7\/day<\/a> to be in an environment that simulates office life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To some, this pretend office<\/em> economy may seem like a niche indulgence by young people.

Brands would do well to take a closer look and see what they can learn.<\/p>\n\n\n Contact us Now<\/p><\/i><\/div>
