Elevating the Construction and Real Estate Industries: How Durée & Company’s PR and Marketing Services Build Success

By August 13, 2024No Comments

Building a business in the construction and real estate industries takes more than high-quality materials and skilled workers. Laying a solid foundation is essential—not just for buildings, but for overall brand success. At Durée & Company, we build strong brands that stand the test of time. With decades of experience in these industries, we deliver white-glove PR and marketing services tailored specifically for businesses in the construction and real estate sectors, ensuring they achieve the visibility and growth they desire.

Understanding the Industry Landscape

There are a multitude of challenges businesses face in the construction and real estate industries, and we’re not just talking about securing permits and the rising cost of materials. Business owners also face intense competition, frequent regulatory changes, labor shortages, and safety issues, all of which can lead to potential project delays. These can result in monetary costs and a compromised reputation.

Navigating these challenges requires a strategic PR and marketing approach. That’s where hiring a professional team well-versed in these skills will go a long way.

Here are some reasons why businesses in the construction and real estate industries should enlist the help of PR professionals.

Discover the Importance of PR in Industry Branding

The right agency knows how to boost a brand’s visibility, help it stand out amongst competitors, and get recognized for its innovations.

Builds an Excellent Brand Image 

A strong reputation is essential for businesses in the construction and real estate industries. Durée & Company’s PR services help communicate the brand’s commitment to quality, safety, reliability, integrity, and innovation, building trust with clients and stakeholders. Two noteworthy areas in which we shine: crisis management and community relations.

In the event of a crisis, having a robust crisis management plan is vital. Seasoned professionals who’ve seen and heard it all before help navigate challenging situations with ease, maintain credibility, and emerge stronger.

A good public relations agency also knows how to build positive community relations, which are essential for securing project approvals and local support. Durée & Company’s pros engage with the community to foster goodwill and support for building projects.

Adopts Marketing Strategies Tailored to the Industries

This is what a full-service agency can do for professionals and brands in construction and real estate:

  • Crafts a unique brand identity: Public relations professionals help businesses craft a unique brand identity that sets them apart from competitors, highlighting their strengths and unique selling points. They ensure the company’s branding is cohesive from the website to mailers, to social media, brochures, and more.
  • Kick-starts content marketing projects: At Durée & Company, our content marketing strategies showcase expertise through compelling stories about the building projects, innovations, and successes, positioning the brand or professional as an industry leader. This can be done as a blog on the company’s site or storytelling through social media. Make sure the agency hired also knows how to make sense of analytics and digital content performance.
  • Drives digital marketing initiatives: Hire an agency that promises to leverage digital channels to reach the brand’s target audience effectively. The SEO, social media, and email marketing campaigns should drive engagement and generate qualified sales leads for the brand. Work with professionals who understand social media advertising, influencer marketing, and stay on top of the latest social media trends—so the company’s executives can focus on other priorities.

Applies for Industry Awards: The Secret Sauce of Recognition

In the construction and real estate industries, awards, accolades, and milestones are a great way to be recognized for excellence in the community, in addition to quality workmanship, and significant contributions to the field.

Winning an industry award or accolade can greatly enhance a business’s reputation and visibility when leveraged properly. Clients and stakeholders want assurance that a company is qualified and credible—industry awards serve as a powerful testament to expertise and success.

Sharing these achievements through the right channels with the help of a PR agency boosts brand awareness while also allowing clients to connect with the dedicated professionals behind the brand. Award recognition may even boost morale amongst employees and aid in recruiting efforts for bringing new talent on board.

Experienced professionals at a full-service public relations agency like Durée & Company can facilitate the process. We research relevant industry awards, identifying every opportunity that aligns with company strengths.

Our team fills out nominations and handles all of the paperwork to ensure the brand has the best chance of receiving recognition. Then, we leverage these accolades to enhance reputation and brand awareness through our fine-tuned publicity measures.

Facilitates Strategic Planning for Every Stage of a Project

Observe how an award-winning agency takes care of details for a construction client:

  • Pre-Construction Phase: Before construction begins, Durée & Company generates buzz and helps secure permits by engaging positively with the community. This ensures a smooth start to the projects. Fostering positive community engagement helps build excitement and enthusiasm for the project.
  • Construction Phase: During construction, we maintain transparency with regular updates to stakeholders, keeping everyone informed and aligned with the project’s progress. This allows the construction company to stay focused on the work that only they can do and deliver what they do best.
  • Post-Construction Phase: After project completion, Durée & Company encourages the company to celebrate milestones and then promotes the finished project to media and the community. This helps attract future business and showcases the brand’s achievements.

Emerging trends such as sustainable building practices, smart technology integration, and urban development present unique opportunities for businesses to lead and innovate. As a company incorporates these into their projects, they should be working with public relations professionals who know how to weave these noteworthy elements into stories the media will want to report on.

Five Things That Need to be in Your Resume or Cover Letter

To paraphrase Jerry Maguire, help us help you. As we sift through the paperwork, here’s what we are looking for:

1. What you love to do and why.

In PR, you may love writing, editing, interviewing, pitching the media, researching, coordinating events, networking, posting to social media … whew! While we would love it if you had a passion for it all, we’d never believe you if you said as much.

What part of this zany, crazy, whirlwind, yet meticulous, tedious, detail-oriented, profession calls to you and why? Help us make the connection as to how PR is really for you, and call it your Professional Summary.

2. Something you did that changed something or someone else.

If you never showed up to your last job, what wouldn’t have happened? That’s right. Erase yourself. Now which clients disappeared with you? Which articles just fade away? What press releases cease to exist? How much social media did NOT get liked?

We are just meeting you. So take a moment to spell out your impact, and it will be easier for us to see what you can do for the clients of Durée & Company. Share this under your Job Responsibilities.

3. Anything you created.

Feeling humble? Well, stop it. This is the part where you brag. If you craft a delightful blog, master a mind-blowing website, shoot crazy video or direct wonderful events, show us.

Then tell us a bit of how you did it, so we trust that it was your brilliance and not the intern’s. Let’s dub this Your Portfolio.

4. An indication of why you belong here.

At PR firm Durée & Company, we have a culture. Really, all companies do. To learn about ours, do some legwork. At this point, if you’re on our blog, you are in the right spot to begin learning. Hate pink? Not good with women? Live in Kansas? Low energy? Then you might want to reconsider applying. However, if we resemble a group that you’d like to hang out with, share why. You can do that in the Cover Letter.

5. Correctly spelled words – all of them.

Do more than hit spell check. Know how to spell or ask someone to proofread. Correctly spelled words work everywhere, all the time. Consider them the Little Black Dresses of resumes.

So consider these five tips – we’ve just given you a “cheat sheet” about what we’re watching out for. Even if our position may not be for you, feel free to use our advice for another – it may just get you the job!
