Kevin C. Whelan helps flexible workspace operators become leaders in competitive markets. In his article on how to do social media properly, he says:
“Social media is not a sales tool. It’s not a lead generation tool (unless you’re advertising). It’s a relationship tool. It’s a brand-building tool.”
At Nexudus, we couldn’t agree more.
It can be tempting for anyone running a business to get tied up in the minutiae of social media. How many leads come through our social channels? How many followers do we have on Instagram? Should we be jumping on the latest trend?
The fact is, if you create authentic content, the results will follow - eventually.
Resign yourself to the fact that these results might not be measurable straight away. It could be a case of someone seeing your social post and sharing it with a friend.
The friend in question may follow you and end up reaching out a few months down the line when they’re tired of working from home and need a friendly coworking space to work in.
Whether you run a solo indie workspace or a growing chain of offices, here are a few workspaces doing great things on social media right now.
Location: Ecuador
Social media channel: @thehub.coworking on TikTok
The majority of flexible workspace operators aren’t on TikTok. It’s a relatively new social media channel, so that’s understandable. However, the platform recently revealed it has 1 billion active global users, so it’s definitely worth exploring.
The Hub Coworking in Ecuador does a fabulous job of showcasing its space and members in a fun and engaging way, set to music. Check it out here.
Location: US
Social media channel: @commondesk on Instagram
The great thing about Common Desk’s Instagram feed is that it showcases its space, members, employees - even the resident dogs get their fair share of the limelight.
The company also uses Instagram as a platform for updates and announcements, such as this one celebrating the opening of a new venue:
Location: UK
Social media channel: @nottmoffices on Twitter
As a coworking operator, it’s really difficult to do Twitter well (which is probably why many don’t bother). We think Nottingham Offices are a good example of how it can be used effectively. All you need is a photo, some hashtags and a sense of humour:
Location: US & UK
Social media channel: @SerendipityLabs on Facebook
We love this post by Serendipity Labs.
Instead of showcasing an empty reception area, it focuses on the employees. And instead of simply stating their name and job title, it humanises them by revealing something about who they are outside of work.
We particularly like that Blake “loves utilizing our call rooms & meeting rooms because it’s the perfect quiet space to tape an audition or do an online rehearsal.”
Location: Mexico
Social media channel: @coworking.tulum on Instagram
Coworking Tulum dedicates its Instagram feed to its members. It uses the platform to tell members’ stories while facilitating a bit of word of mouth marketing for its own business at the same time!
In the words of one member:
“I arrived in Tulum not knowing a soul, quit my job, got a whole new jungle family, set up my own business and so, so much more. A big part of this was made all the easier thanks to the epic-ness of @coworking.tulum.”
Location: Madrid
Social media channel: @atticoworkspaces on Instagram
Aticco Workspaces certainly knows how to do Instagram well. Check out the Stories Highlights on their profile - they’re well-presented and reveal different aspects of the space and the community that calls it home.
Here’s a translation of the post below:
“Being part of #Aticco has helped us to reinvent ourselves as a company.”
As highlighted by our #coworker Sergio Romero, founding partner of @mdk_es, developing your project at Aticco means working in an international environment and being in contact with professionals from various areas, a key factor to drive innovation in your business model.
Location: Zurich
Social media channel: @CoworkingLoungeTessinerplatz on LinkedIn.
What’s an effective way to get people to engage with your content on LinkedIn? A) Share interesting, authentic and professional content with lots of visuals; and B) tag the relevant people in your post.
Not only is this a way of showing your appreciation to those who participated in your event, but it also prompts the participants to join the discussion.
Location: Indonisia
Social media channel: @cohivespace on Instagram
Like Aticco, we were impressed with CoHive’s Stories Highlights - see how they spell out “the future of work space is here.” Aside from clever visuals, we like how this operator combines functional images of its space with pictures of members.
CoHive also shares useful tips and advice covering everything from how to manage feelings of anxiety at work to how to create a productive workspace.
We particularly like this post celebrating Indonesian Farmer’s Day and Supporting Indonesian Agriculture:
Location: Netherlands
Social media channel: @B.Amsterdam on LinkedIn
B.Amersterdam really maximises LinkedIn’s potential by using it to attract new talent as well as promote events and members. As you can see, earlier this year the company posted a callout for a new Junior Event Manager.
LinkedIn is a great recruitment tool for coworking spaces because it’s free, and if your post is crafted effectively, it can reach an extensive network of potential candidates. LinkedIn also lets you post vacancies on the Jobs section. Take a look at this great example from B.Amsterdam.
Location: Ecuador
Social media channel: @tornocolab on Instagram
Torno Colab’s Instagram feed offers the perfect blend of member spotlights, events, architecture photos and, of course, dogs.
Although there are plenty of eye-catching images to choose from, we’re fond of this one which depicts the space in a disused state, before it was lovingly transformed into the vibrant community it is today.

As mixed-use developments continue to grow in popularity, merging visitors with locals through a high level of hospitality, and community, in whatever way the space functions, is of prime importance.
Join us in exploring how the coworking movement transcends beyond just providing desks and chairs- it's a catalyst for community and collaboration.
According to Appspace’s 2023 Workplace Experience Trends & Insights Report, 93% of people who work in an office think their organisation could do more to improve the workplace experience. To craft a truly exceptional workplace experience, it’s useful to know what people are actually looking for in an office environment – which, of course, can change over time. So, we decided to do a little digging.
In this follow-up to the recent blog post, Overturning a Man’s World, we continue an exploration of how coworking supports women.
Huckletree, a longstanding customer of Nexudus, has a growing network of shared workspaces across the UK and Ireland. It represents a community of over 4,000 people working across dynamic tech and creative sectors including web3, fintech, AI, govtech, and sustainable innovation.
With so many new and interesting coworking offerings emerging, it’s never been more vital for existing spaces to differentiate themselves and stand out. And one of the best ways to achieve this is by establishing a strong brand presence.
Welcome to, where we dive deep into the brains behind Nexudus. Today, we’re chatting with Nexudus’ CTO and co-founder Adrian, as he shares his journey from selling Internet Cafe technology to being the co-founder of a global coworking company.
We sat down with Stephen Wood, Nexudus’ North America Account Lead and our North American technology partner, Serge Rose, to talk about their recent collaboration in assisting a Canadian client with their migration to Nexudus and to delve into their thoughts on the future of technology in workspaces moving forward!
From beer taps to thermostat settings, we're examining how coworking can be a game-changer for women at work.
Our US team recently moved into a new coworking location in Las Vegas, and we grabbed the opportunity to catch up with the team, get some insights into their roles from the other side of the pond at the world-famous entertainment capital!
