A week in the life: CreateNow
We sat down with the Generator Waring Taylor winners of Power Up your Start-Up. Learn about what a week in the life looks like for the team at CreateNow.
Why shared workspace?
There are so many benefits of shared workspaces – particularly in uncertain economic times.
Not just for start-ups, shared workspaces are a growing trend. Generator attracts a cross-section of the New Zealand economy from corporates, global enterprise clients to boutique consulting firms – and the mix is expanding all the time.
If you need flexibility and want to grow, the best place to do that is when you’re surrounded by other businesses doing the same thing with ability to foster connections and operate in a growth mindset.
There’s no need to go and get a lease for six years or spend capital on an office fit out, just turn up and hit the ground running. And if things change for your business in six-months’ time then we can assist to ensure your membership is catering to the way your business is changing.
Why Generator is the best option for shared working
Vibrant community
Culture and community can make all the difference to a shared workspace. And no wonder, when everyone feels like they’re part of something bigger, it’s not just easier to attract and retain talent – productivity also goes up. Then there are other benefits – such as rubbing shoulders with likeminded businesses, collaborating and attending loads of community events – that you just can’t put a price on. With almost 10 years of experience under our belt, Generator is passionate about growing and maintaining a thriving community. We pay attention to the ‘little things’ because we know they can make all the difference.
Beautiful spaces
Benefit from the efforts of the experts in curating inspirational and aesthetically pleasing workspaces with lounge and breakout spaces, fully equipped with the latest tech and within sought after locations. Generator members enjoy access to four sites in Auckland’s CBD, each with their own character, from sweeping views of the harbour to exposed brick and loft style ceilings, innovative and purpose-built for businesses to thrive.
Cost and convenience
The shared working model is well suited to today’s dynamic business landscape. The short terms offer low liability and the benefit of being able to grow or shrink as needed. Being part of a larger provider like Generator can open the door to several locations and sites and can provide long term growth solutions across its portfolio. The many membership options allow flexibility in the way you and your team work.
At Generator it's all about plug and play - by sharing infrastructure, you can reduce your costs and streamline your providers. You also get to make the most of our reception and office admin services, tech quality and support, cleaning and consumables, printer leasing, power, and the initial capital expense with fit out.
The old way vs. the Generator way
At Generator we help you do what you do best, run your business. As the Generator model takes over the traditional lease, there are so many good reasons to choose us:

TRADITIONAL LEASE
Love getting a different invoice for utilities, cleaning, internet, printing and admin? Thought not. That’s why we give you one clean invoice that covers everything. Save yourself time. And headaches.
Don’t worry. The furniture, meeting rooms and amenities are already provided. All that’s missing is you and
your computer.
Be our guest. No, really. Because our member concierge can take care of (almost) all your requests. Need
someone to meet and greet guests, book meeting rooms, organise coffee or manage dry cleaning? You
know who to ask.
We know the business world can change in an instant. So we keep our standard agreement around 12 months’ long. That way, you’re not tied down longterm and you’re free to change things up when you need to.
Good locations aren’t usually good for your bottom line. But with our flexible arrangements, you can enjoy all the benefits of being in the best parts of the city, without the crazy standard lease costs.
Time is of the essence, so we don’t waste it. Need to start right away? We’ve got you covered.

Generator is like high school – I turn up and all my mates are there. We work for a bit, we grab lunch and work some more. There’s something special about getting so many people – all doing different things – in one space.
