This by That has carved out a distinct space as the go-to PR and communications agency for progressive architecture firms, particularly those shaping arts and culture. What began as a platform for emerging architects has evolved into a powerhouse for visionaries redefining the built environment. Notable client successes include high-profile placements for Michael K. Chen Architecture, which helped secure new business and amplify his leadership in the industry. Additionally, This by That led the strategic launch of former NFL player Michael Bennett’s design studio, positioning his sculptural work in Wallpaper and Dwell, and also crafted a campaign for Studio Cadena’s Domino Square project, ensuring its voice was heard in Fast Company, Dezeen, and Azure. Beyond media exposure, This by That actively bridges press with business development, directly linking architects to major opportunities - including a Coachella installation, a New York City art gallery, and a forthcoming community center in Southeast Asia. The agency also continues to expand its industry impact through pro-bono consulting for BIPOC-led architecture studios and partnerships with organizations like Design Advocates.
