Building a property marketing function inside WeWork

As WeWork moved upmarket, enterprise customers stopped comparing it to coworking and started comparing it to traditional landlords. Marketing, product, and sales were not equipped for that competitive landscape, so I pitched the function that would be.

The situation

Enterprise customers no longer wanted turnkey space in a coworking environment. They wanted agency over design and configuration with flexibility in space, lease terms, and financials. That shift meant the product was now the asset itself: full floors, buildings, and offices, sold against traditional landlords. Existing processes were costing money in labor, lost sales productivity, and production fees, and putting revenue at risk.

What I did

  • Identified the opportunity, ran the financial impact analysis, built the business case and roadmap, and secured executive funding with support from sales and marketing leadership.
  • Built and led a global team of 15 across product marketing, field marketing, events, creative design, and project management.
  • Implemented a tiered asset system that standardized outputs for each property category, with global templates for leasing collateral, proposals, and market overviews that regions could localize.
  • Developed a full-funnel GTM approach spanning market-level awareness, building-level consideration, and account-based conversion.
  • Launched premium programs for the most valuable properties in the portfolio with differentiated positioning and asset-specific GTM strategies.

The result

The function transformed how WeWork marketed physical space, moving to an asset-centric approach that matched how sophisticated enterprise buyers actually evaluate real estate. It generated $50M in incremental revenue, cut asset dead time by 18%, lifted total contract value by 30%, and gave WeWork a credible position against traditional landlords in the enterprise segment.
