Strategic Combustion: Our Approach to Growth
We embarked on a journey using Appreciative Inquiry methodology. By dreaming what CFP might become through workshops and interviews, we laid the foundation for the rebranding process. We used the strategy process to discover the purpose, the values, and the story of CFP.
A New Flame: CFP’s Visual Rebranding
Ozan Karakoc Studios’ innovative design process refreshed CFP’s visual identity, creating new materials and expressing our brand through a new website and an intranet portal.

Burning Bright: CFP’s Triumphant Growth
Since our rebranding, Commercial Fire Protection has experienced explosive growth. Originally headquartered in Walnut Creek and Irvine, CA, we’ve spread our flames to Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Santa Clara, Concord, Valencia, San Diego, and Las Vegas. With over 200 employees now, our company continues to grow and expand across the country, reflecting the powerful impact of our rebranding initiative.
