We had the pleasure of speaking with Robin Dimond, CEO and Founder of Fifth & Cor, a marketing and innovation company that prioritizes the human experience in all aspects of their work. With over 15 years of industry experience, Robin has built a successful team and achieved client success stories by infusing sensory experiences and heart into their projects. In our interview, Robin shares how Fifth & Cor embraces remote work and maintains effective communication and collaboration among their team members. Regular virtual team meetings, both one-on-one and group sessions, project management platforms, and instant messaging apps are utilized to ensure everyone is aligned and communication flows seamlessly. However, Robin believes that fostering a sense of community and connection is equally important in remote work environments. To achieve this, Fifth & Cor plans monthly virtual happy hours and holiday celebrations, creating opportunities for team members to bond and unwind.
