End chaos in your firm—300+ peers use this framework. Free video here: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/framework Today we speak with a UK architect who understands that to market successfully, an architect must have multiple marketing channels. Our guest is architect James Butterworth of Studio J Architects. A few years ago James was let go from his corporate architecture job. Sitting at home in his flat, he considered his options. What was he to do next? Over the next several months he developed a plan to start his own firm. The first jobs he got were from friends and family contacts, but then he put into place a marketing plan that started to bring in a steady flow of work.
