we’re confidence builders

We utilize decades of experience to engineer strategies that help building product manufacturers get results—from getting into the spec and staying there—to generating leads, launching products and building brands.

For us, building products marketing is a passion. In this industry, our focus is sharp, spanning both commercial and residential construction. With over 20 years of dedicated experience, we’ve honed our understanding of the intricate building products value chain, anticipating the diverse needs of architects, interior designers, contractors, and more.

Engineering Strategies for Success

Navigating this dynamic landscape, we recognize the significance of accurately targeting the various personas within these categories. From architects and designers to estimators and engineers, each role demands a tailored approach, and we’re up to the challenge. Our understanding extends beyond the design and construction process to encompass the intricate relationships between internal sales teams, distributors, and independent rep organizations.

Engagement in the industry is more than just professional, it’s personal. Attending conferences, trade shows, and virtual events is not just a task but a commitment to staying immersed in the latest trends and innovations. We collaborate closely with editors, influencers, and research groups dedicated to the building products category, ensuring clients achieve maximum exposure and results.

Constructing Confidence through Decades of Experience

Our proven track record is a testament to our commitment. Working with industry giants like Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass), Kingspan Insulated Panels, Bobrick Washroom Equipment, Birdair, Koala Kare, EPIC Metals and Sloan, we’ve crafted brand messaging, executed large brand architecture projects, and developed strategic integrated marketing communications plans. Recognition at prestigious awards, including the Architectural Record Advertising Excellence Awards and the Hanley Wood Brand Builder Awards, underscores our dedication and creativity.

Pipitone’s influence extends beyond accolades. Strong media-buying power translates into premier advertising, securing trade show and value-added placements for clients. Engaging with editors from major publications in the architectural and building trade categories, we not only showcase clients’ offerings but also provide innovative ideas that enhance editorial content.

In the digital arena, we’re not just early adopters, we’re pioneers. With strong digital and social media capabilities, we have seamlessly integrated marketing automation into our strategy, certified as a HubSpot Platinum Partner. This commitment to innovation stems from our core belief in providing tools that deliver measurable ROI.
