Naming your company "We" sure leads to some grammatically awkward and confusing sentences:

We now expects an IPO valuation far lower than the $47 billion price it got in a January funding round.

We said the new structure was created in part to make it easier to expand into new businesses beyond co-working, according to IPO filings.

This is why in a lot of writing names of organizations and publications often get contrasting style in the text. Name in italicized text is romanized, or the opposite.

or

> We now expects...

You got me there. I'd put something like that in quotes!

I actually ran into that last week with a publication. Didn't have rights to a certain font's italics. Too much deliberation with design and edit. Solution ended up being single quotes. ex:

> click on ‘My Computer’

Well, you just have to incessantly refer to it by its full name: The We Company.
