 Unlock the Power of Storytelling in AEC Marketing

Hosted by SMPS Charlotte and led by Ben Culbreth, Culbreth Copywriting LLC

Every AEC firm has incredible stories waiting to be told - stories about clients and the projects you’ve built together, stories about your people and the expertise behind the work, and stories about the impact your firm has on the community.

Yet, many firms aren’t sharing these stories, even though they can help win more work, strengthen your brand, and attract top talent. In this session, Ben Culbreth will guide you through three key story types, how to structure them effectively, and the best ways to share them. You’ll leave with practical strategies, templates, and resources to start weaving storytelling into your marketing efforts immediately.
