Welcome to the new season of The Built Environment Marketing show hosted by me, Ayo Abbas from Abbas Marketing.
In this episode, I interview Chris Simmons, an architect, illustrator and educator who has grown a large Instagram following. Chris is an associate director at architecture practice Squire and Partners, mentors young architects through his Architects INstruction Community, runs sketching schools and has a newsletter about wellbeing. Basically, he's busy, busy busy!!
I connected with Chris Simmons online via LinkedIn during one of the lockdowns and have been impressed and following his content ever since. He shares a wealth of knowledge about working in architecture, drawing and sketching as well as creating brilliantly engaging video content. If you've not done so already - it's well worth checking out Chris' Instagram and LinkedIn profile for inspo.
In this episode we talk about
- how Chris uses video content and sketching to engage audiences including hhis process for scripting and editing high-quality content
- how he balances his full time job and side projects
- the disconnect between architecture education and realities of practice,
- the importance of reaching beyond the industry to explain architecture's value to the public.
- why more architects should embrace marketing to communicate their skills
