In our last blog post, we discussed why creative dynamic sequencing is more cost-effective in bringing audiences closer to the top of the marketing funnel—awareness and consideration—by reaching them when they’re engaging with both work related and non-work related media. As we discussed, an architect checking the news during a child’s soccer game has a very different mindset than when using their weather app from a job site. As advertisers, recognizing the multiple layers that make up our targets’ lives can unlock hidden value in our campaigns.  

In today's over saturated media world, it’s becoming more difficult for companies to reach key stakeholders with their branding and product messaging. Trying to find impactful yet cost efficient media impressions that create measurable results is the Holy Grail.

The power of online information gathering fundamentally has changed how purchasing decisions are made. Architects—just like everyone else these days—tend to turn to online sources first to research and collect product data when working on projects.

In a recent proprietary study conducted by Dodge Data & Analytics, 83 percent of the architects surveyed said they turn to architectural building product manufacturers’ websites first when looking for product information. After that, they turn to other online sources like Sweets (50 percent), ARCAT (47 percent) ARCOM/Avitru/Masterspec (30 percent), SpecLink (21 percent) and others.

As the adage goes, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

That proved especially true at the annual Architectural Record Advertising Excellence Awards Breakfast where Pipitone Group (Pipitone) clients racked up a total of nine awards across print, digital and social media categories.

Sometimes it feels like you can throw a rock in any direction and hit an integrated marketing agency.

But what separates them? All marketing firms serve various types of customers with a similar arsenal of tactics, from white papers to websites and everything in between. However, finding an agency that specializes in a particular industry — in our case, architectural building products (ABP) — provides customers with a distinct competitive advantage.
