Elevating Building Product Manufacturers Marketing Through Advertising Excellence

There’s no denying that digital resources are increasingly popular for all audiences, and architects are no exception. In addition, print publications remain a valuable tool for architects due to their high-quality visuals, tactile experience and curated content. Many architects find that print materials complement their digital information sources by offering a different way to engage with the content.

That’s why, here at Pipitone, the Architectural Record Advertising Excellence Awards is our litmus test, showcasing the marketing prowess of building product manufacturers (BPM). This prestigious event celebrates the collaboration between marketing firms and clients. A panel of six architects, assembled by the publisher, judges the creativity and effectiveness of advertising in both print and digital mediums.

This year, Pipitone’s BPM clients earned an impressive 7 accolades! Since 2011, Pipitone's BPM clients have consistently excelled in these awards, earning 57 total awards—a testament not only to our collaboration with our clients but also to our position as industry leaders in BPM marketing.
