Briefcase Studio builds real estate data visualization: animated charts, maps, and short data stories for proptech companies, lenders, and CRE firms. We turn your data, or public sources like Census and FRED, into visuals that work on LinkedIn, in newsletters, and in sales decks. Retainers run $3,000 to $6,000 per month.
Rents, prices, inventory, vacancies, rates, permits, and delinquencies all move constantly. Most companies have access to more of this data than they use. The gap is design and storytelling: picking the one number that matters, showing it clearly, and explaining why it matters to the viewer.
We work with your proprietary data first, since that is the most defensible content you have. We also use reputable public sources like the US Census Bureau, FRED, BLS, and published research from major data providers. Every chart lists its source. We do not invent or estimate numbers to make a better visual.
Charts are a core part of Square Footage, our weekday newsletter covering the top US real estate stories for 35,000+ readers. We see what gets clicked, saved, and shared every day, and that feedback shapes what we design for clients.
Proptech and data companies wanting to show off their data. Lenders explaining rates and credit conditions. CRE firms turning quarterly research into something people actually look at. Operators communicating with investors. Founder Brad Cartier's background at Stessa, Hostfully, and FundMore means we understand what these audiences need to see.
What do you need from us? A data file or access, plus a few minutes on the story you want to tell.
Turnaround? Usually a few business days per chart once templates are set.
Cost? Data visualization is part of Studio retainers from $3,000 to $6,000 per month.
