Beyond the drawing board: Business and marketing strategies for architects

A workshop to help architects enhance their business and marketing skills, build a strong brand, attract clients, and drive practice growth.

As a practice owner, solo practitioner, or someone working in a larger practice, you’ve likely faced the challenge of competing for tenders, securing frameworks, or going up against non-architects; a common issue widely discussed in Wales.

In this three hour workshop, we’ll explore practical strategies to help you attract the right clients, set fees that reflect your true value, and grow your practice while staying true to your principles.

In this workshop, you’ll learn:

  • how to attract clients instead of constantly competing for work
  • how to build a business model that can scale, whether you’re a solo practitioner or part of a larger team
  • how to identify and work with the right clients to grow your practice strategically
  • how to communicate your value effectively, whether you’re competing with larger firms or non-architects

Who should attend?

This workshop is for:

  • Small practice owners and solo practitioners who want to attract better clients and grow their practice
  • Aspiring practice owners who want to lay a strong foundation from the start
  • Larger practices looking for ways to refine their approach and attract high-quality clients
  • Practices in growth seeking practical strategies to scale and maintain value
