CLIENT

SomaComm is a Dallas-based agency that provides integrated communications

services, partnering with brands to develop strategies and implement campaigns. The

company supports clients in brand building, media outreach, product launches, social

media, events and promotions, corporate communications and creative design.

The company operates with a staff that’s dispersed from coast to coast. Since the

founding of the company, president and CEO James Shackelford has seen steady

growth and success as he serves clients in banking, entertainment, insurance,

technology, publishing, and professional services.

CHALLENGE

Shackelford started SomaComm from a home office, but after three months the

company was producing a healthy revenue stream, and he needed to find office

space that matched its image.

While Shackelford resides in Dallas, most of his clients – and his staff – aren’t

based there.

With team members in New York, on the West Coast, and elsewhere, Shackelford didn’t

want to sign long-term office leases for his remote workers.

SOLUTION

SomaComm contacted Regus to set up a Virtual Office as a cost-efficient solution. The

Crescent, located in Uptown Dallas, became the company’s new address. SomaComm

now has a high-profile address with the additional benefits that Regus offers: a

dedicated local phone number answered by Regus staff and access to monthly private

office space.

“The staff at the Crescent answers my calls and routes them to me no matter where

I am. From a business perspective, it’s been a great tool for us. Having a premier

address gives more stability to your company’s brand,” Shackelford said.

Regus now provides SomaComm with its latest location on Broadway in New York.

“The staff at SomaComm is dispersed throughout the country. I travel a ton, and I don’t want to waste money on office space that sits empty for days at a time. As a Virtual Office customer, I get access to just enough office space that it allows me to be productive and avoid waste.”

— James Shackelford President and CEO SomaComm
