Flex That Worx
Welcome to Flex That Worx, a podcast for anyone building, managing or growing a flexible workspace without making things more complicated than they need to be.
If you're running a single coworking space, juggling multiple locations, or overseeing a growing network of spaces across towns or cities, this is your space. It’s for the operators, managers, decision-makers, the people doing the work to make these places run.
Each week, we’ll share focused, no-fluff episodes with practical insights on how to run a better workspace. We’re talking about smoother operations, happier members, stronger systems, and sustainable growth. Think of it as your shortcut to learning what actually works.
At Baseworx, we work from coworking spaces ourselves. We see the wins, the mess, and everything in between. This podcast is a way for us to share what we’re learning, chatting with the people doing good work in this industry and helping you simplify how you scale.

Branding Essentials for New Operators | S1 EP7
Welcome back to Flex That Worx, today we are speaking about Branding Essentials for New Operators. In this short episode, we focus on the unique challenges faced by smaller operators who are just starting out. With the market becoming increasingly competitive, it's essential to stand out and create a brand that truly resonates with your target audience.
Key Points:
- Defining Success
Success can mean different things to different operators. For some, it's about profitability, while for others, it's about making a positive impact on the community or achieving personal satisfaction. We discuss how to define what success looks like for your space and tailor your goals to align with your vision.
- Finding Your Niche
In a market dominated by large brands, it's tempting to emulate their strategies. However, the key to success lies in identifying your unique selling proposition (USP) and understanding your ideal client. We explore how to focus on what makes your space special and avoid the pitfalls of trying to mimic larger operators.
- The Power of Personal Touch
One of the greatest advantages of being a smaller operator is the ability to offer a personal touch that larger brands can't match. We delve into how building authentic relationships with your members can set your space apart and create a loyal community.
- Grassroots Marketing Strategies
Traditional marketing methods, such as local partnerships and community events, can be incredibly effective for smaller operators. We discuss how to utilise these grassroots strategies to increase visibility and attract potential members to your space.
- Balancing Resources and Amenities
Providing top-notch amenities is important, but it's equally crucial to maintain a sustainable operation. We offer insights on how to balance these aspects and engage local stakeholders for sponsorships and collaborations that can enhance your offerings.
Conclusion:
Smaller coworking and flex space operators have a unique opportunity to create intimate, community-focused environments. By defining clear goals, understanding your market, and leveraging local resources, you can build a successful and sustainable space.
Join us in this episode as we explore these strategies and more, providing you with the tools to thrive in the coworking industry.
