2020 round up: Today’s Office – an RV, a greenhouse and many dog walks

Berlin Cameron’s Jennifer DaSilva on her coast-to-coast move

Thanks to the pandemic, the world of work is changing – and it looks very different depending on where you’re based. In The Drum’s new series, Today’s Office, we ask individuals from adland to share what these new normal routines look like. This week, Jennifer DaSilva, the president of WPP creative agency Berlin Cameron, takes us through what it’s like to transport your family and an ever-changing home office across the United States.

Since the pandemic began, I’ve had an ever-changing series of offices and my family’s life has been in a constant state of flux since June, when my husband and I decided to bring our two young boys to California to escape being stuck in a small New York City apartment.

Both of us have busy, full-time jobs and the pressures of round-the-clock home-schooling and childcare – as well as feeling like we weren’t as free to go out and about in New York City due to the pandemic – pushed us towards the sunshine of Los Angeles. We’d been thinking about moving here for years and wanted to test it out before we made a final commitment (which we did, but more on that later!).
