The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, America's largest health-focused philanthropy, engaged 18 Coffees to update and expand the structure of its HR operations team.

The results met the organization's expectations and the new system was successfully implemented.

HNI Corporation, a leading provider of workplace furnishings and residential building products, contracted 18 Coffees to assist with the branding and marketing of their new acquisition, Design Public Group.
