Falling corporate profitability should trigger cost-cutting and layoffs, but electoral politics often leads governments to block that adjustment, resulting in prolonged industrial sickness. Or,…

Ask for an operationally efficient warehouse and someone offers a bigger building. Mention sustainability and the conversation somehow ends with a few more green areas. Demand a built-to-suit manufacturing facility and you’re shown a standard storage facility with a fresh coat of paint. It sounds exaggerated. Yet, for many businesses searching for logistics or industrial real estate, these conversations are surprisingly familiar. That everyday disconnect is what Horizon Industrial Parks captures in its first digital campaign, Not Everyone Can Keep Up, a series of witty films that shine a light on the widening gap between occupiers expect today and…
