Testimonials

"After 50 years in business, our brand was fragmented, our RFP process was disorganized and inconsistent, and our website didn't reflect the creativity and innovation we're known for. Fahrenheit Studio helped us rethink our messaging and streamline our RFP/RFQ response materials, which has saved us a lot of time and money. They also redesigned our website from the ground up, creating a powerful, modern online presence with vibrant, fast-loading images, a sophisticated sorting function, and a unique feature called ‘playlists’ that lets us curate articles, projects, and videos by topic and share them with prospects and clients. Since we started working with Fahrenheit, we’ve jumped from #34 to #26 on the Architectural Record list of top architecture firms. The results really speak for themselves."

—Ron Leland, Integrated Communications Director, LPA Inc.

"Our company was growing rapidly and competing with significantly larger firms, but our image was out of date. It didn't reflect our capabilities or the quality of our services. Fahrenheit really listened to us to make sure they understood our wants and needs. Then they helped us completely revamp our brand into something that truly conveyed who we are. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. They were wonderful to work with."

The rebrand has been a huge success across the board—from employees to customers. It's revived our image as a fun, innovative, and user-friendly company.
