Mintel,Chicago
Mintel Chicago was selected by Crain’s Chicago as one of the city’s coolest offices for 2013. The space was designed to be a venue to showcase Mintel’s services, improve Client outreach and provide a varied, flexible work environment to enhance employee productivity as well as to reflect Mintel’s interactive and creative culture. Formal work areas are in a concentrated zone, and a variety of informal work areas are in the remainder of the suite. There are no private offices and staff are not assigned a permanent work location so that employees may work in the environment best suited to the task at hand. Each zone has a unique personality and the design incorporates visual icons reflecting the company’s London headquarters.

“Mintel’s space encourages everyone from executives to new recruits to move around, picking available spots to plug in their gear from a map displayed on a television screen. “You can sit next to some of the senior members—the president might be sitting right next to you,” says Zach Leahy, a 28-year-old account manager. “It’s a really good learning environment.
