BDP Quadrangle

 

How do you help a firm of leading architects build more attractive stories?

Quadrangle Architects approached us to create a website that would give more play to their significant design creativity and improve their internal processes. After doing the market research, we told them that alluring pictures of cool architecture wouldn’t be enough. They needed to build stories that pull you in. A big part of our contribution was to provide behind-the-scene supports that would help the organization to create more effectively.

Leading with the rising action.
Our plan was a departure, so care had to taken in building support. The site was not to be a repository of work completed but a genuine marketing tool invested in telling the stories behind the projects and the creative culture that realized them. At the same time, it was to make a real contribution to enhancing that culture.
