FNIH Comprehensive Rebrand

The Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) is a leading organization dedicated to advancing biomedical research through public-private partnerships. RF Studio53 has partnered with FNIH on multiple campaigns to elevate the brand’s visibility, enhance its digital presence, and communicate its impact to a broader audience. This case study details the various projects we’ve executed for FNIH, showcasing the strategies implemented and the success we’ve achieved together.
