The episode explores:

Subject Matter Expert: Jonathan Meade is passionate about connecting customers and clients with brand-focused environments, creating emotional responses that engage and inspire diverse design sectors.

With the pandemic taking its hold across the world in 2020, Jon took some time to reflect on his career and how it could evolve to meet the global community's needs and challenges. And this was just it – community.

It seemed like the very notion of community, and a more local experience had been swallowed up in a desire to keep things big and bold.

There is a golden moment for the locality to shine, more so than in many years. Currently looking to collaborate with local councils and business associations, Jon believes that as we invest in 'local,' our sense of belonging may also change into a slower pace with a more significant connection to people and place.
