The American Council of Engineering Companies of Florida

Who did we work with?
The American Council of Engineering Companies of Florida (ACEC Florida) brings together over 300 engineering companies in the state, prioritizing education and growth opportunities for the betterment of Florida. From transportation to energy infrastructure, the scope of ACEC Florida’s work is expanding as the field progresses.
What was the challenge?
Together with ASHE, ASHRAE Region XII, FES, FLASCE, FSEA and SMPS, ACEC Florida wanted to compile important engineering news and projects in Florida in one place to keep the engineering community, including legislators and state officials, informed.
Team Trestle met with the team at ACEC Florida to determine what information a new publication should be composed of. They had vision for a magazine and connections to the engineering community in Florida, but needed a team to complete their vision.
What was our strategy?
We worked to outline the most important components that would make up a quarterly magazine, tailoring segments to the most crucial information for readers. Reaching out to industry leaders, Team Trestle welcomed insight and article submissions from engineering associations before filling in the gaps with other timely articles.

How’d We Do?
Collaborating with our friends at Hinge Creative Co., we continue to produce Engineering Florida, the quarterly magazine reporting on important and impactful projects in Florida communities. From newly constructed bridges to NASA’s future projects, our team works to interview the best sources and deliver the strongest stories. As a recognition for the publication’s efforts, Engineering Florida was awarded in 2024 with the National SMPS Award of Merit.
What’s the verdict?
“Working with Trestle Collective and their partner, Hinge Creative Co., on the Engineering Florida magazine over the past two years has been an exceptional experience. Their team is incredibly creative and remarkably easy to collaborate with. They consistently deliver high-quality work on time, making even the most complex engineering topics engaging, relatable, and easy to understand for a broad audience. Joe and his team have a unique talent for transforming technical content into compelling narratives that resonate with readers. Hannah’s beautiful graphic design brings each issue to life, enhancing the content with striking and purposeful visuals. Joe and Hannah’s professionalism, creativity, and dedication make them invaluable partners.”
