The story so far
The path behind Bryon's work.
Bryon McCartney is the co-founder of Archmark, a marketing and branding agency that works exclusively with architects. He trained as a graphic designer in the print era and moved into web design in the late 1990s, working with established brands before turning his focus to the architecture profession.
Earlier in his career he and his business partner lived and worked in Switzerland, where they launched their first agency together. After returning to the United States they began as a generalist studio, then chose to specialise in architecture following an early project with an architect client. Through Archmark, Bryon helps practices with recognition, reputation and reach, and his team has evaluated more than 650 architecture firm websites.
