The Glenn Group launches #1DollarOfficeSpace
Las Vegas – The Glenn Group, a Nevada-based advertising, interactive and public relations agency, is gearing up to launch #1DollarOfficeSpace, a unique application process for tech startups to rent office space in downtown Las Vegas for $1 a month for a year. For consideration, applicants must submit a video via Instagram (tagged #1DollarOfficeSpace and @TheGlennGroup) throughout the month of August, beginning Aug. 1.

The agency is calling all tech startup companies to submit an original and creative video to Instagram portraying why they should move into the $1 office space. The 15-second videos will then be judged by a well-known panel of tech professionals and stakeholders in downtown Las Vegas.
The space, up to 1,000 sq. ft., will be housed within The Glenn Group’s office, located at Holsum Lofts, the former bakery, in burgeoning downtown Las Vegas. While The Glenn Group primarily occupies the space, they’ve created a collective environment that is also home to agency partners Abe Froman Productions, a video production company, and Greg Anderson Photography.
“We believe in the businesses that have long been here and the ones that will be here soon. Instead of using the extra office space we have for a one-legged hopscotch-basketball court, or renting it out for big dollars, we decided to do what we can to help downtown Las Vegas, and the Nevada tech industry, grow some big ideas. We feel that it’s our duty as a Nevada business that’s dedicated to the growth of enterprise and imagination throughout our state,” said B.C. LeDoux, president, executive creative director and partner of The Glenn Group.
He continued, “We are approaching the one year anniversary in our building in the downtown area and feel that this is a great way to thank the community for welcoming us, by helping other businesses.”
In celebration of the agency’s one-year anniversary in our new downtown location and wanting to do something meaningful and fit with who The Glenn Group is as a company, the firm decided to contribute to the existing efforts to diversify the Nevada industry by hosting #1DollarOfficeSpace.
The application process begins at a time when tech geeks and entrepreneurs will rule the Las Vegas area. Startup Weekend Las Vegas, Aug. 9-11, is a global grassroots movement of active and empowered entrepreneurs who are learning the basics of founding startups and launching successful ventures. Similarly, SXSW V2V Las Vegas, held Aug. 11-14, offers entrepreneurs from across all creative industries a space to learn the skills, make the connections and find the inspiration to take their ideas and talents to the next level.
