Marketing Strategy

A plan tied to backlog, headcount and margin.

Why strategy

Small teams. Big expectations.

Most AEC marketing teams are stretched thin, stuck on proposal deadlines with little time left to build the brand.

Bench gives you executive-level marketing leadership and a full team behind it, so strategy stops being the thing that gets pushed to next quarter.

The data

Busy on pursuits. Short on strategy.

69%

of AEC marketing teams have fewer than 10 people, regardless of firm size.
