Branding + Design Agency
Introduces wealth management approach called Total Wellness
LOS ANGELES, CA—September 27, 2022—Fahrenheit Studio, a Los Angeles-based branding agency known for creating powerful identities, announced the launch of a new brand platform for Beacon Bridge Wealth Partners. With $350 million assets under management (AUM), Beacon Bridge retained Fahrenheit because of its strong track record in overseeing successful transitions for registered investment advisors (RIAs).
Beacon Bridge Wealth Partners has offices in Conshohocken and Warrington, Pennsylvania. The firm’s proprietary holistic wealth management approach, which Fahrenheit branded as Total Wellness, weaves together five essential areas of concern—finances, relationships, health, lifestyle, and purpose. The approach aligns clients’ decisions with their personalized goals to help determine how finances can support their overall well-being.
Implementing Total Wellness requires building deeply engaged relationships to help clients clarify goals, invest confidently, and create the life they want. The firm works to anticipate future needs, simplify complexities, and define an overall financial wellness plan for each client. Beacon Bridge wanted all of this to be communicated in a unique brand narrative.
“Beacon Bridge was very clear that the heart and soul of their Total Wellness model was the depth of the personal trust between advisors and their clients,” said Fahrenheit Studio’s creative director, Dylan Tran. “We developed messaging and imagery to create a welcoming brand identity that clearly sets them apart from competitors.”
Expanding further, Fahrenheit’s co-director Robert Weitz gave an example. “Since the team’s warmth is all-important,” he explained, “we created engaging video footage of them working together in order to help connect clients and prospects to the comfortable intimacy of this RIA office. It invites viewers in.”
A multiple award-winning branding agency, Fahrenheit specializes in marketing and communications for RIAs. Known for creating highly differentiated brands, they also provide strategic guidance for RIAs as they grow. Fahrenheit’s broad expertise extends to digital marketing, content development, social media, advertising, and events.

"It’s impossible to imagine how we could have arrived where we are today without Fahrenheit Studio’s tremendous partnership. They helped create our brand name and identity, oversaw our successful RIA launch, and stayed on as our marketing partners. They’ve been with us every step of the way as we’ve grown our firm’s AUM. We feel extremely fortunate to have them and look forward to many more years of accomplishments!"
—Justin Setzekorn, CFP®, Partner/Wealth Advisor, Octavia Wealth Advisors
"We were lucky enough to hire Bob, Dylan, and the Fahrenheit team as we prepared to transition our business in 2022. There are many unknowns when you hire outsourced teams, and integration can be challenging. Fahrenheit never felt “outsourced” or acted as anyone other than a member of our team. From the very first conversation, they were not only listening, but really hearing and integrating our passion for our clients, purpose and mission into every facet of our brand. As my partner recently reminded me—they took both of our thoughts, perspectives and ideas and created a new voice—one that we could have never identified on our own. If you’re looking for true creative partners, you’ve found them."
—Megan Scott, Chief Vision Officer/Partner, Beacon Bridge Wealth Partners
"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.
"When we decided to go independent and form Opal Wealth Advisors, we wanted a brand that would come alive—and that our current clients would relate to. Fahrenheit Studio had tremendous expertise in our field, yet made us feel as if we were the only firm in existence. They provided us with a brand that is distinct from all others. We literally started with nothing and they built out every aspect of our new brand. Fahrenheit not only brought our vision to life, they helped us transition 90% of our former AUM. We would recommend them to anyone seeking to create and communicate a unique brand vision that really connects with its audience."
—Jesse Giordano, Financial Advisor/Principal, Opal Wealth Advisors
"We found Fahrenheit when we were deciding to break away and start our own independent RIA firm. We attended a seminar where one of their website designs was held up as an example of how to do branding right. And they certainly proved to us what a truly talented firm can accomplish. In addition to a new logo, website and marketing materials, they also developed our content and managed our entire social media presence. I would highly recommend Fahrenheit to any organization looking for a responsive team that can deliver stunning results."
—Robert W. Faulkner, Financial Advisor, Principal & CFO, WealthBridge Capital Management
"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."
—Scott Kays, CFA®, CFP®, Managing Partner, Kays Financial Advisory Corporation
"We first approached Fahrenheit a year ago, following a period of rapid growth and change, including the acquisition of another company. We recognized that we needed to build strong internal and external brand awareness. Fahrenheit took the time to get to know our business, our employees and our customers. They helped us develop a unified brand message, an exciting new visual identity, and a clear strategy for moving forward. 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. The message we're sending finally matches the way we see ourselves."
—Matt McLellan, President, Evisions, Inc.

They were always responsive and frequently went above and beyond what we had asked. We would strongly recommend Fahrenheit in the future."

The entire Fahrenheit team was courteous, conscientious, and very enjoyable to work with."
