With any industry, understanding how to most effectively approach the market is crucial to growing a business. Construction is no different, yet with its multi layers and complexity it’s not a straightforward industry to market to. Often winning new business is relied on through word of mouth or simply by being the only contractor who has the skills for the job. However, with the digital world now engrained in everyday life, it’s crucial to ensure your business has a strong online presence to back up your offering and show you are ready to do business in today’s market.
Compared to other industries, construction has been slow to catch-up when it comes to digital marketing. Many construction firms still lack a marketing plan and lead generation strategy, instead relying on their sales team to spend their time prospecting. The fast pace of the online world means that if a business isn’t looking to invest resource in their digital presence, they will quickly get left behind their competitors. Although word of mouth is still the most common method of attracting new business in this industry, the way customers are sourcing contractors and construction companies is changing, with a shift towards online research prior to engaging. However, many construction firms will be aware that when it comes to digital marketing, they don’t have the experience or resource to roll-out an effective strategy.

Design for me is deeply rooted in the real world, I’ll find inspiration and influences in the strangest places – and it’s this quirk that helps me consistently produce strong, interesting designs which engage audiences and help clients successfully get their message across in a clear and effective way.
I spend my time building brands, creating brochures, designing websites, crafting emailers and visualising exhibition stands for clients as well as putting together the odd presentation. Or fifty.
You’ll often find me juggling several projects – developing concepts for advertising and promotional campaigns, overseeing a team of creatives or building complex Lego installations (a passion of mine).
Although I’ve always been fascinated by design, IBM kick-started my career – from desk top publishing, I worked my way up to designer level and proved I had an aptitude for difficult clients and complex design issues. I’m very familiar with PhotoShop, Illustrator, InDesign, the full Microsoft suite and After Effects, I follow every creative trend.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me walking or running with my dog. I’m also an avid collector of Lego architecture models and love all gadgets (Apple ticks most boxes for me). In addition I’m a keen photographer and am allowed time off for good behaviour at Formula One at Silverstone every year.
