About the project

Afference had groundbreaking neural interface technology and zero creative infrastructure to back it.

We built everything from scratch, a visual identity system that translated decades of neuroscience research into a brand language commanding enough for investor rooms, a Webflow website engineered as a strategic brand reinforcement tool, and pitch decks that armed their founding team to close deals.

That creative foundation fueled millions of dollars raised across multiple rounds, a CES 2024 Best of Innovation Award in XR Technologies, coverage from publications like TechCrunch, and live public demos on the CES 2025 show floor.

The Challenge

The average accounting and financial firm’s website and brand are below average by default. That was not an option for AgencyFi whose niche is serving top tier creative agencies who have an unrelenting focus on their creative craft. The problem was obvious: AgencyFi's old brand looked like every other accounting firm on the internet. Safe fonts, stock imagery, muted blues. Nothing about it said "we understand the creative world." That disconnect was costing them trust at first glance with the exact audience they were built to serve.

The Result

An accounting firm for top-tier creative agencies can’t look average. We built AgencyFi a brand and website that proves they get the creative world.
