ENGAGE CONNECT IGNITE

Our clients, their core purpose, and strategic business development goals are the basis for everything we do. 

Welcome

I’m Clare Kelly. I started FUSE Marketing in 2019 to help clients in the built environment execute competitive, holistic marketing strategies and tactics that align with their strategic business development goals.

Whether you are a marketing professional responsible for your firm’s marketing deliverables or a business owner, you know that leading Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (A/E/C) firms require dynamic, integrated workflows, people, and data to remain competitive.

You also know that A/E/C marketers are responsible for much more than proposals in this environment. They create strategies and content to engage and educate prospects throughout the sales pipeline and connect with clients at each project stage. Marketers manage crisis communications, PR, their firm’s CRM, website, and marketing technologies. A comprehensive approach requires a team with diverse talent.

I can help you with:

  • Identifying and executing core marketing strategies and tactics
  • Ensuring your core communications are written in one clear voice
  • Implementing a website refresh, backed by keyword research and built with SEO
  • Writing blogs and articles  
  • Developing compelling on-brand promotions and proposals
  • Conducting market and competitive research

Approach

I start each client engagement with a collaborative discovery session, followed by the development of a tailored plan, if desired. The plan includes tactics to create value at each stage of the client lifecycle.
 
Value-driven marketing tactics are informed by;
  1. Overall strategy
  2. Client challenges and opportunities
  3. Valid competitive and market data
  4. Firm brand and culture
  5. Clear messaging and thoughtful content
  6. Performance metrics
I love to engage in creative and analytical discovery with my clients to spark new ideas to drive growth. Most importantly, I excel at digging in and working ​to bring new, value-driven approaches to life.

Framework

I believe, and industry research demonstrates, that the most impactful marketing results are possible when a firm’s marketing and business development functions work hand-in-hand toward common strategic goals.
 
Impactful results include;
  • Increased market share
  • Expansion into new markets
  • Increased client retention
  • Expansion of services for existing clients
