For independent coworking operators in London and across the UK

Make your coworking space the obvious choice.

Coworking spaces. I've been in them, around them, and helping run them since 2010. A six-day email course built around real people and real events. What to do when a VC-funded Death Star opens three streets away. Why the pizza-and-networking mixer doesn't cut it anymore. For the sole traders and micro-businesses who know every member's name but haven't sent an email in six weeks because they're terrified it won't sound professional enough.

Email is the second half of the welcome.

What is at stake

If people cannot understand what makes your space different, they compare you on facilities and price.

That is a difficult game for a small, independent space to win. Your useful stories, member relationships and local knowledge disappear behind the same polished phrases everyone else is using.

The value

Turn what you already know into a welcome people can keep reading.

Explain the real space

Put the people, rituals and reasons to return into language a potential member can recognise.

Stay useful between visits

Answer the questions people ask before they book a tour, attend an event or reply to you.

Make the next step clear

Give the right people a permission-based route towards a conversation, visit or enquiry.

“Bernie is a huge fan and ambassador for Coworking. He knows what it’s about at its core, he knows heaps of practitioners in this field, and he knows loads about the power of storytelling for developing your communications strategy. He’s a number one fan of Coworking as a tool for personal special and economic development. Full of beans and ideas Bernie is good at strategy and guiding teams to implement them.”

I build one bespoke Educational Email Course from your knowledge and voice. The project includes course copy and structure for multi-day automated delivery, one defined audience, one ordered sequence, one clear action, and 12 companion articles for your website.
