Those kids in school who used to plan their matching outfits aka Steven and Sarah. Serving up halloween and pour overs for ya’ll 😎🎃

Even though the leaves are fading to red it doesn’t mean your body wants to give up the greens. Frittata and macha on the menu 🥦🍵 Thank you @hiracha for the shot!

Last night, hearing @sophieannewythartist, @lucychenery and Michael talk about the journey towards our current exhibition, I got an overwhelming feeling of happiness and had to pinch my arm. Seeing such passionate and honest humans working together on a project like this and then get to be so lucky to house the work for two months is absolute magic. All three coming from such different backgrounds with totally different stories and organically finding each other and a common ground somewhere along this process is out of this world inspiring. We love you guys and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for showing such genuine passion in everything you do. 💎

MEMBERS MONDAY with Elizabeth Lichten, Marketing Director. @pinkmingomarketing
1. What are you currently working on?

I am an 'on demand' Marketing Director and the best part about what I do is the range of clients and projects.
For example, at the moment I'm simultaneously working with a mega engineering consultant to develop their go-to-market strategy for 'Smart Buildings' and also working with a Wellbeing start-up - researching the market, working on messaging and getting them geared up for launch in January.

2. What is your go-to item in the café?

An Americano in the morning and a ginger and ginseng tea in the afternoon... I am a big fan of Benk + Bo's Hasami porcelain, it gives everything a sense of occasion.

3. Favourite part of Benk + Bo?

Depends what I'm working on.

For plotting, planning and strategising it has to be the sofa at the back of the lounge area. It is a great spot to spread out and think.
When I'm writing, working on presentations or proposals and need to get down to it, the corner spot in the downstairs members area focuses my mind.

4. What are the biggest challenges of being a freelancer in your industry?

Getting big corporates to buy-in to outsourcing something as critical as market strategy can be a challenge. But I have been lucky enough to work with some really entrepreneurial people in these big organisations who get it - embracing a new way of working and the benefits it brings - an outside perspective, quick results, flexibility and output over headcount.
5. If you could pick any client and project to work on, what would it be?
I work with a lot of property, infrastructure and engineering firms that shape our built environments.

I'm interested in placemaking - an approach to designing public space that inspires and builds community e.g. Kings Cross in London, ReGenvillage, in the Netherlands and LX Factory in Lisbon.
So an ideal client project would be the research, strategy and campaign around launching a new place. In fact, I hear there is a new makers space in the offing in Hoxton 😉

Heyaaaa! Any plant shops out there who want to do a pop up with us? Getting so many people wanting to buy our plants but we can’t sell our kiddos! 🌿🌱🌵🌴🍃

Benks crew pretending theyre all cool and collected five minutes before they hit the dance floor. We’ve got another Airbnb Music event here on Wednesday 17th (next week) which also means our bar is open. Free for members and open for all. Check out details on our website under events! 🕺⚡️

Haaaaappy hump day! We’re feeling as zen as @richardmelko looks in this picture 🌿

A couple of concentrated admin faces planning out your hump day lunch! 👩🏻‍🍳Make sure you come by tomorrow and celebrate the mark of us reaching 100 donations on our crowdfunder campaign. We still need to convince the mayor that our project is worth supporting so do drop by www.spacehive.com/Benkandbohoxton to see our silly faces talking about our next space which is going to be dedicated to makers and artists! ALSO a massive massive million thanks to all of you who have already donated. So many unexpected supporters, we have noted all your names and we couldn’t be more emotional and happy to see so many of you wanting to support this project 🧡 THANK YOU, you rock our world!

Just felt like I won this Friday morning! Beetroot porridge is back on the menu, which means Autumn is here 🍁 thanks @lkapz for feeding me and @sarahcliff_ for injecting caffeine in to this Friday-body. Also, this is the first time ever in Benk + Bo’s history we are bringing items “back on the menu”. A sign of entering a season we already have experience with. Does it mean we can’t call ourself the new kids on the block anymore? 👶
