Story-selling & The Freestyle Practice
What makes a successful A+D practice?
Find out by taking a break from your daily grind and getting into active thinking mode with business strategy consultant, architect and SO|arch founder, Elisabeth Sporer, AIA, CID. Who gets the work, and how? This session focuses on the elements of a strategic plan with a focus on brand, BD (business development) and marketing.
Once elusive-sounding concepts, perhaps even taboo topics, in A+D, "brand" and "marketing" have not only become part of the industry's lexicon, but can also be key influencers, along with BD (business development), of a successful practice. In this session, AIA Los Angeles' Think-Time Tuesday host, and business strategy consultant, Elisabeth Sporer, AIA CID, and her guest, brand strategist and creative consultant Lisa Boquiren unbox each element.
Learning objectives
- Learn best practices for brand, BD and marketing
- Critically assess your firm's specific needs related to brand, BD and marketing
- Create synergies between BD and marketing that are appropriate for your practice

This session was presented and recorded live on February 23, 2021 by AIA Los Angeles as part of the Think-time Tuesdays Series.
