    Square Roots Collective has been working with Cohere on branding and marketing for our upcoming boutique hotel and restaurant, and they've exceeded our expectations at every interaction. We especially appreciate how the team leads with creativity and expertise as they execute this project with intention and an eye for detail. They are true collaborators as they listen well and respond promptly. We would highly recommend Cohere!

    Cohere helped transform one of our hospitality renovation projects into a complete rebrand- with incredible results! This rebrand has brought in an entirely new customer base while at the same time satisfying our long term and loyal customers. Refreshing an established and beloved brand is tricky territory, and Caroline and Mo from Cohere handled that challenge head-on with patience, creativity and an understanding rarely found in the design world.

    Cohere is an agency that just gets it. They understand that branding is more than just a logo or a tagline. It's about creating a clear and consistent identity that resonates with your audience. We worked with Cohere to create strategy-based branding for Hotel Anna & Bel in Philadelphia. One of the things I loved most about working with Cohere was their willingness to collaborate. They were always open to my feedback, and they were always willing to make changes as needed to get a better outcome. If you're looking for a true partner to help build and lift your brand, and not just another agency to complete your scope, you'll find it with Cohere. Loved working with them and would highly recommend to others!

    Cohere is amazing. I have had the pleasure working with Antoinette, Chris, Caroline, Victoria, Alex and the hard working team at Cohere for just over a year to date. Their expertise in strategy, branding, environmental and digital design have been invaluable in growing my small business and brand. Additionally, they are just as awesome people, taking the time to make personal connections and support our long term goals. VFCR is looking forward to continuing our work with the best creative agency around!
