In addition to its recent achievement of being named an Ad Age Small Agency of the Year, Partners + Napier celebrated new growth with a "think big" theme at this month's agency meeting. In the past, the meeting has been held outside the agency in order to accommodate all attendees. This month's meeting was held in Partners + Napier's newly completed space at 194 Mill Street.
The agency recently added 3,725 sq. ft. of space to its 25,000 sq. ft. offices at 192 Mill Street in the High Falls district. The adjoining space at 194 Mill Street, originally built in the 1880s as part of the Kidd Iron Works and the W. Kidd estate, grows the agency's office space by 15 percent.
"We are thrilled to have a growing presence here in the High Falls area. This neighborhood has a rich history of innovation and hard work, which are two things our agency is known for," said Bob Bailey, president of Partners + Napier.
The expansion was prompted by ongoing client growth and the addition of 40 new employees since 2009. The space includes a large meeting room and concepting space, kitchen and lounge areas, and may include an outdoor courtyard in the near future.
"With all of the offices we needed to create for new hires, we lost our common space areas where our teams collaborate, generate ideas, and present them to clients," Bailey said. "It was critical to create an environment that spurs creativity."
The project was managed by Partners + Napier's IT Manager Michael Strelick with interior design by Managing Partner and Chief Creative Officer Jeff Gabel.
