About Fathom

Namesake

Fathom derives from a Greek word meaning outstretched arms. In English it’s both a measure of depth and a euphemism for understanding. In keeping with our name, we strive to reach further, think deeper and thoroughly understand our clients’ challenges.

The result? Stronger ROI by way
of process efficiency and more effective design.

Value-Add

 

 
 

Unique Partnership Model

We offer three tiers of business relationship, ranging from working with you on a project basis to becoming your dedicated creative team to an outsourcing model where we work on-site, full time. Increasing the level of commitment affords us administrative cost efficiencies, which means savings to you. It also keeps us more attuned to your creative point of view, making us a more valuable member of your team.

Awards

Our primary focus is always on what best serves our clients’ needs. Every now and then our solutions end up winning some pretty prestigious awards like these:

Reasonable Fee Structure

We maintain a high level of creative talent and value-added service at reasonable project rates. Our fees are lower than the glam agency, our perspective is fresher than in-house design departments, and our capacity is greater than boutique studios.

In-house Experience

We really understand what happens to a brand once it leaves the hands of its originators and is used in visual communications across the enterprise. The challenge is keeping it compliant, consistent, and fresh where the rubber meets the road. Our in-house experience—coupled with agency know-how—uniquely positions us to follow through with flawless execution and attention to detail. We help you economize and get the most legs out of each deliverable by asking how we can make it: fresh, economical, modular, customizable, reusable, and easy to distribute. We have practical, creative solutions that give you the ability to do things yourself (DIY), even furthering your investment in your launch.

Fresh Presentation Design

Pitch work is fast paced and intensive, and PPT is a clunky program that most designers shun. That’s exactly where we thrive. Our design team has established a leadership position in this area, by helping create multi-million dollar, winning pitches for the world’s largest brands. We can make PPT presentations look like works of art and we can do it in war-room situations—no sweat.

A-Team, Always, Anywhere

Fathom Creative has a unique operational model that lets us keep top talent available when you need it most, throughout the development of the pitch. We only hire A players. You will never get the B-team. This is particularly important when you are pitching a new client and need smart, efficient, creative design for that winning presentation. We maintain a design team that is comfortable in our offices or in yours, regardless of time zone. Tell us where you need us and we are there.

Global Reach

Our experience includes working with some of the world’s largest brands that have a global presence.
