“As part of the Office of Marketing and Communications at Gilman School (Baltimore, MD), I have had a great experience working with Lisa and Jared. When we created our initial tour, Lisa took time to understand our needs and the look and feel we were going for — more traditional than modern. We ended up with a timeless and excellently rendered watercolor map of our campus as the foundation of our virtual tour (and that rendering has gotten used far beyond our tour in marketing materials and even as a large decal on the wall of our Upper School admissions suite). We like that the tour is easy to upload to our CMS (Finalsite) and editable as well. We also really appreciate that there isn't a recurring "subscription" for the tour and that we can self-host it in an age when it seems like there are subscriptions for everything!

When we decided to expand our tour to include a few 360º spins a year after our original tour was published, it was great to work with Jared on the ground in capturing the requested spaces. True to what they promised, the spins really are a notch above the competition. You can't see the "seams," and they take extra care to edit out things like shadows or reflections. The little details matter, and when you compare Circlescapes' 360º photography work to others, the results speak for themselves in Circlescapes' favor!

We look forward to continuing working with Circlescapes, maintaining our virtual tour, and hopefully adding more 360º spins as we add some new buildings to our campus and renovate some existing spaces in the next 3-5 years.”

“As a marketing professional, I am awash in outreach from companies promising one service or another that will help my school stand out. Honestly, there's so much on offer that I'm guilty of tuning it out. I'm not sure what made me respond to the email I received from Circlescapes. We had loosely talked about wanting a virtual map, but it wasn't top on our list of priorities. But I will never regret the day I responded to Christine's initial outreach. From A to Z, Christine helped us create a stellar virtual map that went above and beyond what we had hoped for. The watercolor is stunning and the Circlescapes team helped us with the difficult details (3 campuses in one map etc.) In terms of the actual documenting of our campuses, Lisa's talent and vision are unmatched. Her attention to detail and staging really helped our campus and the specific spotlight areas shine.

Some of the best marketing dollars I've ever spent and a thoroughly enjoyable process.”

“Our Circlescapes virtual tour has been very well-received. We initially engaged Circlescapes to create a basic virtual tour for us, and we’ve taken the opportunity to work with their dedicated and responsive team over the years to enhance our tour with video and audio. Our virtual tour has become an important component of our admissions efforts, particularly during the pandemic. It’s a great way for prospective families to experience Marist School from afar.”

“The whole team from Circlescapes was a pleasure to work with, and they delivered an excellent VT. Lisa is a very quick and efficient communicator. Sasha, the photographer we worked with, made the whole shoot very smooth and the resulting images were perfect. Pre-shoot we were given very clear instructions on how to prepare our space for the shoot, and Sasha guided us and helped us to stage each shot on the actual shoot day.

After the shoot, the delivery time was A+, and the whole team was amazing when it came to edits and other requests that we made. We worked together during an "unusual" time last summer and the whole process from start to finish was free of any bumps. I highly recommend them and would work with them again in a heartbeat.”

“It has been a pleasure to work with Lisa and her team, and I would recommend them without hesitation. Our virtual campus tour allowed us to bring BB&N to prospective families during a year of virtual admissions. The Circlescapes team was incredibly supportive and responsive throughout the process.”

“The Circlescapes team are quick to respond, knowledgeable, professional and provided wonderful guidance as we worked through the process. They helped us to understand next steps, showed us examples of possible options to help us design our plan, responded quickly to all questions and moved things forward so that we had a completed tour fairly quickly. The photographer was wonderful to work with, and the photos are beautiful. Our watercolour campus map is a school treasure that beautifully captures the essence of our campus.”

“We were delighted with how easy it was to create a Circlescapes virtual tour - Jared has an eye for bringing out the best in your campus and makes everything turn-key. The resulting product is simply beautiful and brings our school to life in a new way for prospective families.”

“Our Circlescapes virtual campus tours are great! We initially commissioned them to create tours for our two high schools, and we like them so much that we decided to do the remaining 11 schools in our district. We selected Circlescapes because of their extensive expertise in working with schools. The entire team was professional, thorough, and fun from the beginning to the end. Highly recommend!!”

“You have no idea how timely this virtual tour became to our business. Just watched one of our event managers give a virtual tour of the building on Microsoft Teams using the 3D tour. Thank you!”

“We have emerged from our virtual Open House victorious. The virtual tour was an excellent component to the day. It was a pleasure to work with Circlescapes. You consistently focused on your excellent end product while good-naturedly guiding me and our team through the necessary steps with uncanny flexibility and patience.”

“We have been very happy with Circlescapes for a number of reasons. They (Lisa and Jared) are super easy to work with, especially with late updates and answering questions. Having an up-to-date Virtual Campus Tour has proven even more important, with COVID restrictions limiting visitors to campus for almost a year. The onsite "shoot" was efficient and fun to participate in the tour creation. We did extensive research prior to committing to Circlescapes. The initial interaction with Jared was enough to make them a leading candidate. They weren't just giving a company pitch. Just a great conversation about how they could help our school. We found their pricing to be more than fair for the level we needed (we're a small school in size and number of campus buildings), and they also worked with us to reduce cost by coordinating their travel plans with nearby schools to make it efficient for all. Great value. Highly recommend. We're very happy.”

“Working with the team from Circlescapes was an absolute joy! They were able to help us realize and even exceed the vision we had for creating a virtual tour. They created a beautiful watercolored map of our campus that has been a huge hit with the members of our community. They were patient, professional, and extremely helpful in sharing their expertise during the process. Thank you to the entire team at Circlescapes! You are the best!"”
