The Wing’s Senior Director of Community, Marianna Martinelli, who also happens to be Wing employee number one, has played a large role in working out the company’s kinks to set the tone for the brand’s culture today. Here’s what’s Martinelli hopes to convey about The Wing’s culture as it exists now.
“As a company, we are obsessed with feedback and hearing from folks who want The Wing in their cities and make decisions on where to open new spaces based on extensive surveys and qualitative research. Our priority is to make sure that each Wing space will answer the needs of women from that local community -- this includes access to public transportation or choosing spots that are centrally located.
“In Chicago, we worked with Moms Demand Action and EveryTown to host a discussion about gun safety before we even opened our doors. We also partnered with the Chicago Foundation for Women to raise awareness about the lack of public statues of women throughout Chicago ahead of our opening and then also hosted a fireside chat with Chicago-native Valerie Jarrett on Finding Her Voice in the days leading up to our opening.
