RESULTS
Since its founding in 2013, FPW has grown from a small team of hard-working photographers and brand experts to a company with over 40 employees across three divisions. These divisions– Brand, Film, and Merchandise, allow FPW to design and implement client service entirely in-house. This cuts out the potential for misinterpretation of a client’s goals and increases operational efficiency.
FPW has received numerous awards for its work in the past decade, including Vega Digital Awards and MUSE awards for creativity and design. In 2020 and 2022, FPW was named one of Adweek’s “fastest growing agencies.” Its consistent performance, dedication to client success, and strong client relationships help FPW achieve its mission to meet client goals through an unconventional “un-agency” approach.
