Cargo, a marketing and advertising agency founded in Greenville in 2006, has moved across the street from its original location at 640 S. Main St. to a new space at 631 S. Main St. on the fourth floor of the former Brazwells location to accommodate a growing team in response to expanded client business.
The new 4,500-square-foot, dog-friendly office offers the team a view of Falls Park and the new space more than doubles the agency’s footprint. The new Greenville headquarters features an industrial and open space, mimicking the vibe of Cargo’s Toronto office. The open floor plan allows for increased collaboration, conversations, and a game area with cornhole and more.
The new location also provides additional meeting space, including a formal conference room overlooking Falls Park; a smaller gathering room looking out to the West End with a peek of Fluor Field; a private, oversized phone booth that can also be used for podcast recording; and other open seating areas throughout the office.
The new kitchen includes booths that allow for casual conversations or an in-office lunch break, beer on tap, and a fully stocked bar.
“In the past few months, Cargo has undergone a lot of growth – from new business wins to new staff hires,” says Cargo’s CEO and founding partner Dan Gliatta. “And now, we’re settling into a space that maximizes our creative and strategic thinking, from conference rooms that overlook Falls Park and the West End, to the addition of house-built video game consoles, beer on tap, and more.”
Cargo recently added five new team members to handle growth within several of the agency’s accounts including Lenovo, Bridgestone, Detroit Reman, Mercedes-Benz, 3M, and more. In total, Cargo has 21 employees, 19 of which are located in the Greenville office, and two employees up in the Toronto location.
“New client wins and the hiring of staff to support the new accounts meant we needed more space,” says Hays Sligh, new business coordinator. “And we needed a space that truly inspired and accommodated our employees, to give them a platform to make work better.”
