THE APPROACH

Build out the verbal guidelines so that any team member could pick up and have everything they need on tone and writing principles with real examples. The challenge wasn't just defining how WeWork sounds, it was making the guidelines flexible enough to work across different markets, formats, and languages while still feeling unmistakably WeWork.
