Need a Speaker Who Specializes in A/E/C Content Creation?

 

Leslie presenting in Madison WisconsinSince 2020, I’ve promoted the untapped potential of client-focused case studies within the Architecture/Engineering/Construction industry. And now, with the popularity of AI-created content, human stories stand out more than ever.

After I became a case study specialist, I discovered that most A/E/C firms don’t use client-focused case studies. That’s when I decided that my mission would be to promote this marketing tool. There are so many good stories to tell that go beyond the amazing technical solutions developed by professionals.

I created A/E/C Connect in 2022, a monthly LinkedIn newsletter focusing on case studies and storytelling. I’ve also appeared on podcasts and have spoken on the topic in person and online.

In addition, I’ve addressed the benefits and pitfalls of using AI for content creation. It can be both your friend and foe!

I’m available to speak in person or online about how to develop client-focused case studies for the A/E/C industry and the advantages and pitfalls of using AI when creating content.
