They help companies such as <a href=\"http:\/\/ultimatvodka.com\/\">Ultimat Vodka<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/\">USA Today<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.honesttea.com\/\">Honest Tea<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aetv.com\/\">A&amp;E<\/a> with media strategies and branding, and they\u2019re continuing to build a notable client list.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hardwick was born in London to parents who ran their own private drinking club and hospitality business, so he\u2019s always had the passion to run his own business. He eventually started his career in advertising at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yr.com\/\">Young &amp; Rubicam London<\/a> before transferring to their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/l\/sydney--NSW\">Sydney office<\/a>. In 1999, he finally made the entrepreneurial leap and co-founded his own communications consulting company and expanded it to New York City in 2011.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The company firmly believes in a work-life balance, so Hardwick made sure the office felt like an extension of the team\u2019s own homes. \u201cWe deliberately tried to create a relaxed and informal space for our staff to work from,\u201d says Hardwick.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At the Ikon 3 office, the mix of exposed brick and glass walls provides the perfect blank canvas for Hardwick and his hard-working team. Images of Marilyn Monroe, Muhammad Ali, and The Beatles add a dash of zest to their otherwise minimalist surroundings. The space feels comfortable, and it\u2019s complete with a never-ending supply of tea, Vegemite, and magazines to curl up with on the tufted couch.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We chatted with Hardwick as part of The Desktop \u2014 a series that highlights interesting (and always inviting) offices at WeWork. Hardwick shares where he draws inspiration from inside these glass walls.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/20140527-Ikon-Office-14.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8079\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/20140527-Ikon-Office-14.jpg?resize=1280%2C853\" alt=\"20140527 Ikon Office-14\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-wp-pid=\"8079\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/20140527-Ikon-Office-16.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/20140527-Ikon-Office-16.jpg?resize=1280%2C853\" alt=\"20140527 Ikon Office-16\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-wp-pid=\"8080\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe founded Ikon 3 in New York, and it represents the third country the business operated out of after Australia and New Zealand.
