Building product manufacturers and architects are the twin pillars of the construction industry. Their collaboration is the foundation upon which every successful project is built. To recognize and strengthen this vital partnership, Pipitone recently hosted a webinar, "Bridging the Gap: How to Build Better Relationships with Architects."

In the ever-evolving landscape of the building products industry, there’s no question that artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a powerful force, reshaping traditional marketing strategies and paving the way for more efficient, personalized approaches.

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.

Each of these potential disruptions holds the power to severely affect a company’s reputation, operational stability and financial health.
