Office photos feature – 24.com
Bandwidth Blog’s first office photos post was pics from leading internet companies offices and ended up being a huge hit with our audience. Today we are featuring local internet power house 24.com‘s offices which is the digital arm of Media24.
Now you might think – “Media24, aren’t they old school corporates?” – Think again – They have made serious in roads with aligning themselves with the latest internet trends and the vision behind their office reflects this – staff party room with stocked bar and xbox360, staff library, boardrooms themed with geeky virus names like “Trojan” and “Dark Avenger” and a huge open floor office with plasmas hanging above the offices streaming the latest news24 headlines – 24.com certainly has a great environment to work in.
Here are some photos of the 24.com offices -

Thanks goes out to Elan Lohman (Head of social media) and Karen (Marketing) from 24 who sent me the pics.

Very nice I must say. But I hear there are more to be seen. One question… where are all the people. hahaha

Clearly they have enough money.

No wonder I’m losing staff to them

The Vincent who commented above is not, for the record. But the 24.com offices are damn impressive.

That is indeed quite nice. Our offices are nicer, though. Ogilvy here in Cape Town, that is.

What I want to see is a picture of the private offices.
Or does management mingle with the general riff-raff

This is right up there with the way they set up offices for YouTube in Bruno, CA. I love what 24 has done though: A spacious office cubicle area coupled with massive plasma TV screens and board rooms. Now that’s a working environment that I would love to go to daily. Question: Do they have an office gym or their own canteen thereby never having to leave for lunch or exercise? If not, add those 2 in and you have a workplace conducive for increased work being done: Definitely!

hmm
open plan..its like a factory with desks.
And as for Ogilvy,(i have worked there)the noise travels throughout the building, and does not make for a pleasant work environment..but i guess it looks cool and with advertising thats all that counts, right?
