About

Fanfare began in 2019 as three freelancers sharing a desk and a habit of over-preparing. We kept getting asked to fix launches that had gone quiet, so we made that the job. Today we are a team of nine across Lisbon, Montreal and Melbourne, building identities and websites for companies that want to be noticed for the right reasons. We stay small on purpose. Every project gets senior hands, not a hand-off.

Five things

we never

skip

Craft

The last five percent

Anyone can get a design to nearly right. We spend our time on the part after that: the spacing nobody will name, the word that finally fits, the animation that stops exactly when it should. That is where a brand starts to feel expensive.

Tools

Framer first, ego last

We build in Framer because it lets designers ship and clients edit. We also know when a problem needs code, 3D or a pencil. The tool is never the point. A site that works on a slow phone in bad signal is.

Standards

Calm under deadlines

Big projects come with pressure. We plan for it early, flag risks while they are still small and keep the mood steady when the date gets close. Clear notes, honest timelines, no drama in the group chat.

Pace

Quick, never rushed

We move fast because we decide fast. Short feedback loops, working prototypes instead of slide decks, and one person who can say yes. Speed is a habit you build, not overtime you bill.

Honesty

Plain speaking

No jargon, no mystery process, no forty-page proposal. We tell you what we would do, what it costs and what could go wrong. If we think an idea will not work, you will hear it from us first.
