Canvas Worldwide Expands West Coast Headquarters with Move to El Segundo

Canvas Worldwide has signed a new 68,301-square-foot office lease at 2330 Utah Avenue in El Segundo, California, representing a significant expansion from its current 36,000-square-foot space in Playa Vista. The independent media agency, which launched in 2015 and maintains dual headquarters in Los Angeles and New York, services major clients including Hyundai, Kia, Genesis, Amazon MGM Studios, Edward Jones, McDonald's, and Zillow.

Paul Woolmington, CEO of Canvas Worldwide, stated that the new headquarters reflects the company's momentum and culture of innovation. The relocation to El Segundo represents more than just additional space—it signifies the agency's investment in its people and clients. Woolmington emphasized that the location mirrors the creativity and energy that defines Canvas Worldwide's approach to challenging conventional media thinking.

JLL's Jason Fine and Blake Searles represented Canvas Worldwide in the lease transaction, while the landlord, NSB Inc., represented itself. Fine highlighted the importance of finding a space that aligns with the agency's creative culture, noting that 2330 Utah Avenue offers unique design elements including 24-foot ceilings, large windows, skylights, and private outdoor space. The building was designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, providing the distinctive environment that creative companies seek.

Searles added that in today's economic climate, companies prioritize premier buildings with abundant amenities in locations accessible to employees. The El Segundo location positions Canvas Worldwide to attract and retain top talent while maintaining its reputation as one of the best places to work. The expansion comes as the agency has grown into a national force in media over the past decade.

El Segundo Mayor Chris Pimentel welcomed the relocation, noting that the city's growing community of media and innovation-driven firms provides an environment where creative companies can thrive. Pimentel stated that Canvas Worldwide's expansion into a collaborative space reflects both the agency's vision and El Segundo's status as a hub for cutting-edge creativity. The move is expected to have positive impacts on the local economy and cultural landscape.

The relocation nearly doubles Canvas Worldwide's West Coast office space, accommodating the agency's continued growth and expansion. With regional offices in Chicago, Dallas, Denver, and Atlanta, the company's strategic positioning in El Segundo reinforces Southern California's importance in the media and creative industries. The move demonstrates how companies are prioritizing workspace quality and location as key factors in talent attraction and business success.
