Marketing agency for building products manufacturers
Get specified, not just quoted. Marketing that puts your products on the drawing.
For a building products manufacturer, marketing has one job above all others: getting your product specified. Being named in the drawing by an architect, early, by name, is worth far more than being priced by a contractor late in the process. Cornerstone builds the marketing that moves you from the quote to the specification.
The manufacturer's marketing challenge
Architects and specifiers do not find products the way your sales team imagines. They search in technical language, at the moment a detail needs solving, and they want data sheets, CAD and BIM files and evidence of use, not brochures and sales copy. Most manufacturers market to contractors and forget the specifiers who actually make the decision, months earlier.
How we help manufacturers get specified

Questions we get asked
What does getting specified actually involve?
Making your product the easy, credible, safe choice for an architect at the moment they are drawing, through technical content, specification resources and evidence of use.
Do you work with distributors and merchants too?
Yes. The tactics adapt whether you sell through specification, distribution or direct, and often a combination of all three.
