The company realized that in order to survive and to stay on top, it needs to adapt to the challenged of the modern media world. This also meant that some changes had to be made and they also envisaged the headquarters. The transformation of this space started in 2004.

JWT occupies 250,000 square feet and in covered 5 floors of the office building at 466 Lexington Ave. The 900 people working there were then able to take their place in the new, remodeled headquarters.
