Know the market. Let the market know you.
HOME / BRAND & MARKETING
Architects need to look into many aspects of their firm - design, project delivery, payments collection, team management, customer management, admin and the list goes on! Delivering existing projects can suck up the Founder’s time, despite having employees in specific roles. To add to that is hiring, training, site visits and overall escalation management. This leaves very little time for an architect/owner to grow her firm.
PROBLEMS
- Plethora of architectural design firms have crowded the market.
- Incursion of international architect firms.
- Pressure on time - design, project delivery, payments, collections, people & customer management, hiring, training, administration.
- Transforming into an architecture business while still retaining design at its core.
- Digital visibility of firms restricted to those who understand technology.
- Business development has gone digital, but firms have not.
SOLUTIONS
- Brand discovery & positioning
- Creation of marketing expression & collaterals – online & offline.
- Digital marketing strategy
- Thought Leadership
- Continuing involvement in your branding & marketing program.
