Thank you for considering sponsorship of the SMPS Seattle Chapter. This is your firm’s chance to be part of one of the oldest and fastest-growing SMPS chapters in the nation!
ABOUT SMPSSMPS, the Society for Marketing Professional Services, is the only non-profit marketing organization dedicated to creating business opportunities and enhancing the careers of marketing professionals in the architecture, engineering and construction (A/E/C) industries. The organization began in 1973 when a small group of professional service firm leaders recognized a need to sharpen their skills, pool resources and work together to help tackle the complexities of marketing in a time when marketing was barely acknowledged as a significant component of professional service firms. Today, SMPS has more than 6,000 members who are active in 57 chapters across the United States and Canada. Our members are marketing and business development professionals employed by architecture, engineering, planning, interior design, construction, legal, accounting and specialty consulting firms.
YOUR UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT SMPS SEATTLEThe SMPS Seattle chapter is one of the oldest, largest and fastest-growing SMPS chapters in the country. Our network comprises nearly 250 members from more than 50 of western Washington’s architecture, engineering and construction firms. In August 2015, our chapter received a “Striving for Excellence” award from SMPS National in recognition of the diversity and vast amount of educational, networking and scholarship programs we offer members. Learn more about the SMPS Seattle chapter’s strategic plan here. There are several benefits to sponsoring SMPS Seattle:
