Growing agency takes larger footprint in Downtown West

Experience Fresh, a St. Louis-based full-service marketing and creative agency, has relocated to a larger office in Downtown West following a rapid expansion in staffing. The company’s headcount increased from five employees to 34, prompting the move to accommodate additional workspace and day-to-day operations.

The new office is located at 308 North 21st Street, Suite 100, in the 63103 ZIP code, placing the agency in the Downtown West neighborhood. The area has been drawing increased business attention in recent years amid a mix of office leasing activity, residential redevelopment, and major nearby sports and civic projects.

New address sits in a highly competitive office corridor

The building at 308 North 21st Street is marketed as a multi-tenant office property with multiple suite sizes and on-site parking, positioned across Olive Street from St. Louis City SC’s stadium (Energizer Park). Commercial listings for the property describe a historic structure that has been updated for creative-office users, reflecting broader demand for flexible, amenity-oriented workspaces.

For Experience Fresh, the relocation represents a tangible indicator of growth in a sector that often depends on specialized talent across strategy, design, production, and performance marketing. The agency describes itself as vertically integrated, with service lines spanning brand strategy and messaging, digital design and UX/UI, content production, and paid and organic marketing execution.

What the move signals for Downtown West

Downtown West is one of St. Louis’ larger central-city neighborhoods, and its location provides access to regional transit corridors and nearby employment centers. In recent years, it has also been shaped by large-scale development, including the soccer stadium and significant public- and private-sector investment in adjacent blocks.

Relocations like this can have several measurable implications for the district’s office market:

  • Higher utilization of smaller, move-in-ready suites designed for professional services and creative firms.

  • Increased daytime foot traffic that supports nearby food, retail, and service businesses.

  • Additional demand for parking and shared-building amenities, particularly where firms expand staffing quickly.

A local growth story in a changing office landscape

While many U.S. office markets continue to adapt to hybrid work patterns, the Experience Fresh move underscores that some employers are still increasing their physical footprint when hiring accelerates or when teams require collaboration-intensive workflows. For Downtown West, the arrival of a growing agency adds another office user to a neighborhood increasingly competing for companies seeking central locations, modernized interiors, and proximity to prominent civic destinations.
