First Media Case Study

First Media is a media company focusing on cross platform content for millennial women

Their brands Blossom, So Yummy, BabyFirstTV and Real Moms are viewed by 65 Million people every day via social media, Youtube, TV and mobile.

If you’re one of the very few people in this world who doesn’t already subscribe to their amazing content, then check them out on Facebook, YouTube or at their website www.1st.media.

It's one thing to target millennials and build content for them, but it’s a whole other thing to employ them and make sure they have a great workspace to create in. First Media employs a fast growing team of creative people who build out all their great content. They needed to create a creative and fun work environment that was also safe and easily accessible day or night. As they built out their new offices on two floors of a high rise building they wanted to find a way to make their office really secure while not making their employees feel encumbered or watched over by big sister.

Sleek mobile access

Cutting edge technology for a millennial company

Mobile credentials were a priority for First Media because they wanted easy access to their offices and the ability to remotely unlock doors for vendors.

"I have this one solution...all of my doors all over the world are on my phone, and all we need to do is just grow our company - Openpath takes care of the rest!"

Key features

Works on any phone

Their office is pretty split between iPhone and Android, and the app works great on both platforms. It even works on the Apple Watch.

Reporting rocks

For the first time, the management team has visibility into who comes and goes and how their new office space is being used. This is giving them better insight into how to scale to keep up with their massive growth.

Guest passes

Because you can send an email or text message with a temporary guest pass to anyone coming to visit the office, it makes it easy to set meetings early in the morning or later in the day once the door is locked.
