Mark English, Mark English Architects
“The proliferation of social media sites has confounded the once predictable world of architecture and publicity, marketing and business development. But have these much heralded platforms replaced the more traditional routes for public recognition and acclaim for architects and design professionals. This panel of designers and media professionals will discuss how architects should approach these new forms of social engagement. They will discuss how they benefit design practices and even challenge the notion they are anything more than platforms for “saying hello” to family and colleagues. Design marketing expert Kenny Caldwell a self-described “contrarian” on social media for architects will discuss how, why and when architects should engage in these forms of communication. Architect Mark English has developed his own social media strategy and will present his practice as a case study. Finally, Amanda Walter has written the book Social Media in Action on the topic and will present her still evolving thoughts on the subject. The panel will be moderated by William Menking the Editor-In-Chief of The Architect’s Newspaper.”
