How do successful architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms become leaders in their markets? While there is not one formula for all AEC firms, a common characteristic is effective marketing. These firms don't view marketing as an expense, but as a strategic approach to winning. Leading With Marketing embodies how an AEC firm approaches their business, their marketplace and their customers. When companies lead with marketing, they strategically choose which markets to target, what to offer, how to differentiate, how to communicate, and how to win. To truly lead with marketing, a firm's marketing strategy must be an ongoing, dynamic process. The process must enable a company to focus its resources on the right opportunities to increase profitability, while satisfying the customer needs and achieving a sustainable competitive advantage. Leading With Marketing will provide you with the insights, expertise and knowledge needed to lead with marketing.

The Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) was chartered more than 25 years ago to serve the needs of individuals who market architectural, engineering, interior design, construction, and related services that create the built environment. Through its formation and growth, SMPS created the profession of professional services marketing. Today, marketing is an integral part of almost all the services that design and build the environment in which we live, work, and play. Over the years, SMPS has helped create and identify the leaders in this profession. It is those leaders who were called upon to revise and expand the Handbook for Marketing Professional Services. The original first edition of this handbook was created to fill a gap that existed in the literature of marketing. While much has been written about product marketing, little has been written about services marketing and even less about marketing services for the built environment. When SMPS created its Certified Professional Services Marketer Program, the need for marketing again became apparent. In this new edition, many of the original authors, have updated their material and eight new chapters have been added. Many of these new chapters are reflective of how mature and complex the process of marketing professional services has become. This new edition of Marketing Handbook For The Design & Construction Professional is destined to become an indispensable resource and a well-worn volume on the bookshelves of those involved in marketing professional services for the built environment.
