In Other Words with Dave
What am I gonna do with this huge Back40 sign that hangs on our building over at Covell and Kelly? I suppose it could be repurposed as a coffee table.
Back in 2019, in my infinite wisdom, I bought, gutted, and remodeled a building to house my digital marketing agency and the Edmond Outlook. The remodel turned out awesome—we had a large open space for collaboration, a 25-foot whiteboard, seven offices, a full-sized eat-in kitchen, a patio, and two conference rooms (cause that’s how people used to meet back then). We moved in at the end of 2019. We were a team of nearly 20 designers, developers, and marketing professionals. It went well for about three months…
Then Covid happened and I sent everyone home to work remotely. Most never came back. Over the years, our in-office staff has been reduced to a designer, a developer, a project manager, and me— in 3,500 square feet. The rest of the team is remote. We’ve adjusted. And it’s time for someone else to make use of this building because we clearly aren’t.
Our new location is over at Kelley Pointe. It’s a nice space, perfect for what we need now, but sadly no place to hang that big ol’ sign.
