Golin Moves Global Headquarters to New Location in Chicago

CHICAGO (September 23, 2024) - Interpublic Group (NYSE: IPG) agency Golin is moving its Chicago office - and global headquarters - to the Mart. Golin's move to the Merchandise Mart is more than just a change of address. It represents the agency's dedication to building a collaborative and dynamic workspace that inspires creativity, change and innovation, leaning into the agency's core tenets of elevating work and culture. Chicago is home to experts who serve clients across the full range of the agency's offerings: Consumer, Corporate, Creative, Digital, Healthcare, Media and Planning & Analytics, and many specialties: crisis and issues, inclusive communications, sustainability and employee communications.

The new headquarters will feature innovative facilities designed to enhance teamwork and productivity, providing employees with the resources they need to excel. As Golin settles into the new home, the agency remains committed to its mission of delivering exceptional value to clients and stakeholders worldwide. Located along the iconic Chicago River (at 222 W Merchandise Mart Plaza), the modern design features a state-of-the-art creative facility and thoughtful elements for team building and work/life balance, including:

• 26 conference rooms equipped with hybrid meeting technology that makes collaboration, solving and ideation seamless for Goliners and clients regardless of where they are in the world
• A 2,000-square foot "makers" studio, called the Playground, which serves as a dedicated space for agency and influencer creators to develop cutting-edge content
• Special rooms for solitude: a Mother's Room with two private spaces, each includes a sink and a refrigerator; and a Tranquility Room which can be used for meditation or prayers
• On the same floor, Goliners and clients can also enjoy a coffee-wine bar, café area, and lounge space to take a break from work.

The Mart is the center of gravity in Chicago and the center of the city, and it comes with a storied history. When the Mart opened its doors in May 1930, it was a first-of-its-kind innovation and the biggest building in the world. Both Golin and the Mart share decades of success staying ahead of industry expectations, and now in one shared place as Golin's global HQ, the agency looks forward to continuing to deliver on that value to its clients in Chicago and beyond.
