Google added 750 people to its Manhattan office in 2011

The internet giant has expanded heavily with 4 new NY offices and adding 38% more staff in the recent years, especially in New York City. After acquiring four New York companies and going on a hiring spree for its media and advertising arms, Google now has about 2,750 employees in New York City, a 38% increase from 2010, the company told The Wall Street Journal. Check out the new offices designed after the city below. Not sure if I could concentrate with all the playground around but certainly a great environment to foster ideas and creativity.

London by Walkman

In the time when I was working in London I often listened to music in the Tube (not through a Walkman though). If I’d had mapped my music journey’s they could look like Sony‘s new advertisements for the Walkman – every station is a band. This great advertisements were done by Saatchi & Saatchi Australia. New York, London and Sydney by Walkman.
