Weber Shandwick. Virtual Workplace Case Study
The Challenge
As one of the world’s leading communications agencies, Weber Shandwick operates across multiple global markets, with teams collaborating remotely as well as in person. Alongside day-to-day operations, the agency also needed flexible spaces that could support client meetings, presentations, and collaboration at an international scale.
The brief called for a virtual office environment that could serve two distinct purposes:
A social and collaborative hub for employees
A professional, rapidly rebrandable space suitable for client-facing meetings
Crucially, the solution needed to scale reliably for thousands of users across global offices, without sacrificing usability or brand quality.
The Solution
Weber Shandwick partnered with WORLDSPACE to deliver a tailor-made virtual office environment designed to support both internal culture and external client engagement.
The experience was built as a flexible digital workspace, allowing employees to connect socially while also enabling teams to host client meetings in environments that could be quickly reconfigured and rebranded to suit different audiences and campaigns.
Engineered for scale, the platform was capable of accommodating up to 4,000 global users simultaneously, ensuring consistent access and performance across international teams. This provided Weber Shandwick with a single, unified virtual solution that met the needs of a truly global organisation.
The Outcome
The virtual office became a centralised digital hub that supported collaboration, connection, and client engagement across Weber Shandwick’s international network. By combining social interaction with professional flexibility, the environment bridged the gap between internal culture and external communications.
The result was a scalable, future-ready workplace solution that demonstrated how immersive technology can enhance both employee experience and client-facing operations — reinforcing Weber Shandwick’s commitment to innovation in modern communications.
