Branding for companies in Tampa Bay
Lima Brands is a Brazilian branding studio: strategy first, then design, with more than 100 projects delivered for clients in six countries. Tampa Bay is attracting new companies and new residents every year, and businesses that sharpen their brand now get remembered by all those newcomers.
Selected work
Tampa Bay grows on real estate, finance and marketing services, and its café culture runs deep. So we show a real estate brand, a performance agency, an accounting rebrand and a coffee shop we branded in Lisbon.
Tampa is growing up fast, from cigar town to business hub
Tampa's identity has deep roots. Ybor City was built around cigar factories founded by Cuban, Spanish and Italian immigrants, and its brick streets still carry that history. Every winter the Gasparilla Pirate Festival takes over the bay with costumes and parades. It is a city that likes character, and local brands with a real story tend to stand out.
Today the economy is much broader. MacDill Air Force Base is home to US Central Command and US Special Operations Command, Port Tampa Bay handles cargo and cruises, and many banks and insurers run regional and operations centres in the area. Professional services, defence contractors and finance firms all compete for talent and contracts.
Downtown keeps changing, with the Riverwalk and the Water Street district adding offices, hotels and restaurants, while St. Petersburg grows its own arts and startup scene across the bay. Lima Brands works with Tampa Bay companies remotely: video workshops, shared presentations and digital delivery for every format.
Your brand is much more than a logo. It's how your business is remembered.
Studies show that investing in differentiating and promoting your brand can increase a company's total revenue by up to 23%. Have you ever wondered how much your brand stands out in the market today?

Questions from companies in Tampa
Which branding and visual identity agency works with companies in Tampa?
Lima Brands, a strategic branding studio founded by Bruno Lima, works remotely with companies in Tampa on brand strategy, visual identity, rebranding, naming and websites. It has delivered more than 100 projects for clients in six countries. Every project gets a fixed proposal after a free discovery call.
Can you modernise our brand without erasing our history?
Yes. Many rebrands work best as an evolution. We identify what people already recognise in your brand and keep it, while fixing what holds you back.
We just relocated to Tampa. Can you help us launch here?
Yes. We define how you want to be known in the new market, then create the identity, website and launch materials so you arrive looking established.
How do you price branding for Tampa companies?
With a fixed proposal in USD, sent after a free discovery call. Scope, deliverables and deadlines are agreed upfront, so there are no surprises later.
