As more and more coworking hubs appear on a daily basis in all corners of the country, competition has become quite intense among these types of shared office spaces. This cutthroat market has challenged their owners to come up with various solutions in order to stand out from the crowd.
The most effective way to do this is to specialize in a niche market and target only one group of entrepreneurs, creatives, or small business owners. This way, the coworking hub can concentrate strictly on individuals working in similar fields and offer services that directly impact and influence their respective professions.
While in previous articles we’ve already presented shared office spaces that are aimed at writers and film industry enthusiasts, today we’re showcasing a handful of coworking hubs boasting top notch amenities for sound engineers, producers, and music enthusiasts.
