Newsport Broadcast Center & National Workplace Portfolio

Executive Summary

Meraki's leadership team served as the exclusive furniture management partner for TelevisaUnivision, delivering a coordinated, multi-market workplace program across four major U.S. regions—Miami, New York City, Teaneck, NJ, and San Antonio.

Overview

TelevisaUnivision required a delivery model capable of executing across multiple active markets simultaneously, while maintaining brand consistency, procurement control, and aggressive cost targets. 

Meraki's leadership team was tasked to translate corporate design into a scalable national program—delivered with speed, discipline, and enduring performance. Partnering directly with the network's procurement and facilities teams, the team developed furniture specifications, negotiated manufacturer contracts nationwide, and established the standards that governed every market rollout.
