Kodansha, LFC’s official publication partner and Japan’s largest publisher, first started working with the club in 2021 and has agreed an early renewal, showing their commitment to the future of the club and their desire to create a legacy with LFC.

The new extension sees Kodansha extend their relationship with LFC, to incorporate both the men’s and women’s team, which will help to support the continued growth of the women’s team. This comes at an exciting time ahead of their move to Melwood later this year.

The partnership strives to ‘Inspire Impossible Stories’ by inspiring future generations through its work in the community, and through the ‘Creative Works’ programme alongside LFC Foundation, it provides children and young adults with a chance to express themselves through creativity and storytelling.

This new, long-term commitment will see the programme’s expansion into the USA, and Kodansha and LFC Foundation look to build on the impact they have already made in the UK.

Through this partnership, LFC has supported Kodansha to drive brand awareness, globally, reach unconnected audiences, all whilst helping to inspire a younger generation. In this period, LFC and Kodansha have connected with over 850 school children in Liverpool, whilst helping almost 40 young people graduate through the LFC Foundation’s Creative Works programme.

Most recently, Kodansha, LFC and LFC Foundation exhibited within the famous Tate Liverpool, providing a chance for local children, artists, and visitors a chance to be inspired, creative and enjoy art.

Speaking about the renewal, Ben Latty, commercial director at Liverpool FC, said: “We are delighted to announce the extension of our partnership with Kodansha, even more so following on from the incredible displays in Tate Liverpool a few weeks ago. Our activations with Kodansha over the last two years truly embody the term partnership. There is a true alignment in values between LFC and Kodansha, which we are excited to build upon.

“This extension will see significant support and focus on the brilliant work of LFC Foundation and see us expand that work into the USA. It’s also pleasing to see Kodansha extend their support of the club to both the men’s and women’s teams.”

Tokuo Kanemura, senior vice president and COO at Kodansha, added: “We take great pride in the extension of this agreement, which allows us to be a part of Liverpool FC’s illustrious history and to leave our legacy. Let’s continue to join hands and inspire people all over the world together.

“Furthermore, our partnership with the women’s team is profoundly meaningful to us. We hope that this partnership will serve as a catalyst for their further achievements and that will continue to captivate audiences with its creativity.”

TWP Expands Presence To Become Singapore’s Leading Coworking Operator In Premium-Grade Buildings

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 25 July 2023 – The Work Project (TWP) has announced plans to become the largest coworking operator in Grade A or premium-grade commercial buildings in Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD) by end-2023. They currently occupy 3 floors in Capital Tower and 1 floor in CapitaGreen, and will be expanding both premises by the end of the year. TWP’s portfolio of locations in the CBD core also includes CapitaSpring, Asia Square, CapitaSky, Downtown Gallery, and Six Battery Road.

Unbeatable Connectivity and Convenience in Prime CBD Locations

TWP is a premium shared office brand in Singapore, focusing on delivering cutting-edge design and professional shared services. TWP centres are well-equipped with customisable private office suites, dedicated desks and hot desks, meeting rooms with high-tech video-conferencing capabilities, and value-add amenities such as lounges with designer furniture, gourmet pantries, phone booths for Zoom calls, and collaboration zones for multi-modal working.

TWP’s network of coworking spaces in the CBD offers its members unparalleled connectivity across Singapore. Proximity to Raffles Place, Tanjong Pagar, Shenton Road and Marina Bay MRT stations as well as connected bus routes ensures members can look forward to smooth commutes at any time of day. Extensive dining and wellness options are also available at connected retail outlets and shopping malls, offering TWP members ample options for business and leisure meetings alike.

Meeting Continued High Demand for Flexible Work Arrangements in Singapore

TWP’s strategic expansion has been driven by strong recovery rates in the commercial rental market over the past year. Brandon Chua, TWP Singapore Country Head, expressed his confidence in the company’s approach: “With the recent strong rebound of commercial rents in the core CBD, we have seen our portfolio achieving occupancy rates and revenue per occupied desk (revpod) surpassing pre-Covid 19 times. Even during downtimes, we see customers taking flight to quality and the demand for core CBD offices remains reasonably strong despite competitive prices.”

The expansion also allows TWP to better cater to its enterprise clients, defined as those requiring more than 25 desks in private offices. This supports the growing trend of corporate users in the coworking industry, as opposed to freelancers, start-ups and small businesses. Advantages such as cost savings, less fixed overheads, flexibility, and turn-key solutions are major drivers behind this growth of the corporate segment within the coworking industry.

Noeleen Goh, Head of Real Estate at TWP, highlighted this appeal of coworking to larger corporate clients, stating, “Our largest client is a tech client who occupies over 500 desks with us in one location. The appeal of coworking to such a large client is the speed at which we can deliver customised solutions, the convenience of a menu of professional shared services available to them, and ultimately, the flexibility and scalability we can offer.” TWP’s locations within the CBD core are also particularly attractive to corporations seeking to attract and retain top talent, while maintaining a convenient and prestigious addresss.
