The Challenge for Digital Agencies
As an advertising agency, Loud Mouth were of course keen to incorporate their branding into their whiteboard walls. Their job is to promote other people’s brands so they need to demonstrate branding at all touch points. Where better than on the wall everyone is looking at ?
Loud Mouth also didn’t want a traditional square whiteboard, they wanted a speech bubble shape whiteboard. This is modern and creative, just like them.

No problem ! With our whiteboard paint, you can create a dry erase surface of any shape or any colour. There are no limits.

(In case you are wondering where Loud Mouth got their name from, they say they are named fondly after the Managing Directors Mother-In-Law!)
Whiteboard walls are perfect for digital agencies who interact with both clients and staff. Use the entire wall for brainstorming and design. Project onto to show campaigns and idea. Work with clients and staff to fine tune details. Get everyone on their feet and let the creative juices flow when working on walls.
All Digital Agencies Can Have Branded Walls
If you want to create a similar look for the whiteboard surface in your business, just follow these steps :
Apply Smart Primer to prime the wall
When the primer is dry, Apply Smart Wall Paint whiteboard paint
When Smart Wall Paint is dry, remove the backing from your logo on a sticker affix to the wall in your preferred spot. (Note any high street printer can print your logo on a sticker.)
Use border tape to mark out the speech bubble border.
Paint the border (within the masking tape) in the colour of your choice.
See how your customers react to your new whiteboard wall with your logo on it. Enjoy the extra engagement and productivity you, your team and your clients will benefit from with such a large working space.

Design Considerations for a Large Office Space
Millennium chose our award-wining whiteboard paint, Smart Wall Paint, to cover an area of 560 square metres throughout their office building. They put a lot more thought into their office design than simply painting walls. Their interior, although very elegant, was just lacking something to make it special and stand out.
There were some other considerations. How do you facilitate intimacy when designing the interior of very large office spaces ? How do you maximise efficiency of using each square metre ? Is there a danger in trading efficiency for intimacy ?
They came up with a solution.
They decided they would apply whiteboard paint on the walls throughout their meeting areas and public spaces. Next, they approached Juraj Hibinsky who designed the themes on the walls. Check these out for inspiration for your office.

Workspaces for Collaboration
With walls converted into productive surfaces for writing (thank-you Juraj !), the previously unloved and unused walls transformed entire spaces into high demand areas for group brainstorming and design exercises as well as traditional meetings.
The absence of doors created the right corporate and working spirit, and gave added advantages of easy communication and interaction.
Millennium’s work environment is now a perfect space for work councils, meetings and huddles. With so much open and collaborative space available, employees also have a variety of seating choices available to them.
Workspaces for Individuals
Want to work alone ? No problem. Millennium have also created ideal locations for independent work to prevent distractions and to facilite peace and quiet.
‘Telephone booths’ have desks that face away from the rest of the office to provide both privacy and a workplace background.
The kitchenette and dining area may be separate from the office, but this hasn’t stopped then from being a popular working or meeting location used throughout the day by staff.
The dining room is also used frequently for corporate events. Even the utility room can be used as a collaborative area.
Millennium are the perfect example of how easy it is to increase worker engagement just by simply changing how your office looks with one innovative product like whiteboard paint
It can really make a difference.
How can you enliven your work space ?
