Ep 15: Phones, People and Pancakes!!! with Graham Handley and Susie Lober

Author: Ayo Abbas, Marketing Consultant February 12, 2021 Duration: 30:10

Welcome to the latest episode of Marketing In Times of Crisis hosted by me, Ayo Abbas, a marketing consultant who specialises in all things built environment.  

Today's guests are someone I've known for years from when she worked at Foster and Partners and I was at Arup, fellow Marketing Consultant Susie Lober and one of her clients' Graham Handley who runs his own practice in Cambridge.  
It's an interesting fun chat that I really enjoyed and I hope you do too. 

Key takeaways

  • Marketing is all about relationships and making human connections. Make sure you keep in touch and don't be afraid to pick up the phone. 
  • Word of Mouth and your digital presence are important, once you start, make sure you keep everything current.
  • Be yourself and do marketing that represents what's important to you (pancakes, books etc :).  It'll resonate with your clients too.

Each episode is built on the premise that effective marketing for these creative, technical fields requires a specialized approach.

The discussions move beyond abstract ideas to deliver actionable hints and tips you can apply directly to your practice. Tuning into this podcast means getting a candid look at the challenges and opportunities of promoting design and engineering services, all from a host and guests who have been in the trenches. It’s an independent resource dedicated to making marketing feel less like a foreign language and more like a powerful tool for growth.
