First, A/E/C marketers target owners or managers of public or private construction projects. The focus of marketing is lead generation and winning projects. Relationships and reputation are critical in A/E/C marketing as the financial risk of construction projects is great.

For as long as I’ve been in the commercial construction business , which is 30 years, there have been two conflicting trains of thought about clients hiring a general contractor who also works for a competitor. If you did retail construction for Hollywood Videos then you couldn’t build Blockbusters.

I had been hearing whispers that the Army planned to ignore the recently-enacted LEED ban, and now we have proof. Back in December 2011, GBLU reported on legislation that banned the Department of Defense from pursuing LEED Gold or Platinum certification. As reported by BuildingGreen , despite the new law, the Army is reiterating its commitment to LEED certification: In a call with reporters yesterday, [Katherine Hammack, assistant secretary], reiterated the Army's commitment to net-zero and LEED

While you get a quick acknowledgement, "Oh I see.", it doesn't really explain the intentions of the phrase (acronym LOD). In his post he offers these reference descriptions.

Lifehacker did this great series on hardware and software used by each of their writers. It sounds lame, but I found it very compelling. What I found was a few amazing tools that I had no idea existed. So, I decided to do my own. Maybe there are some things I use that you didn’t know existed. I would also like to hear about the gear, hardware, and software that other marketers use.
