Time to clean up

The last few weeks have been unbelievably busy at the Hoffi studio. Since moving into our new studio around 7 months ago we have always wanted to change a few things and make it a bit more homely. At the time we were not sure what exactly we wanted to do but as we have used the space more and more it has become more and more apparent what we should do. You may have seen some of the teaser shots on our blog, but if you have not it is now nearly completed so if you fancy coming in to have a nose why not pop in, we might even make you a coffee. As a company we find it really important to keep our space fresh and invigorating. In fact I always remember one of my lecturers in university talking about change, different view points and how these alter your perspectives. The idea being that by changing things, such as the journey you take to work, what you eat or even when you go to sleep all contribute to keeping things fresh and exciting and so through an ongoing 'freshness' regime it can aid creativity and productivity. 

In similar ways we try and use these same techniques to aid our clients to think differently about their company and the directions they are thinking about taking. Later this year Hoffi will be offering new services for our current and new clients to aid them stay competitive and stand out from the crowd, all based on the same principles. Watch out for developments
