Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) Public Relations
Building Reputations That Win Projects
At Reputation Ink, we understand that good PR agencies secure media attention, but great PR agencies secure the right media attention in the right arenas.
What We Do
For over a decade, we’ve been helping architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms elevate their visibility, win more projects, and strengthen their reputations by connecting them with the audiences, publications, and opportunities that matter most.
We specialize in public relations for the AEC sector and work with a wide range of firms, including architecture, engineering, construction, product manufacturing, technology, and service providers to the built environment. Our deep industry focus allows us to transform technical expertise into powerful PR strategies that directly support your business development goals.
What Sets Us Apart
We speak “engineer”
We know the difference between BIM and CAD, design-build and CMAR, and shop drawings versus as-builts.
Our team of former journalists and brand storytellers understands how AEC firms operate, where their expertise lies, and how to uncover the stories that matter — whether it’s a cutting-edge infrastructure project or an architect’s unique design philosophy.
Deep media relationships
We don’t cold-pitch. Thanks to years of experience, we have trusted relationships with key trade, business, and mainstream media.
Journalists and editors turn to us for expert sources, and we know exactly how to deliver timely, relevant insights that land coverage in outlets that matter — from ENR, Building Construction + Design and Architectural Record to The Wall Street Journal and Fox News.
Strategic, quality-driven PR
We know great PR isn’t a numbers game. It’s about securing meaningful, high-impact opportunities that move your firm closer to its long-term goals — not just racking up headlines.
We laser-focus on the right publications, awards, speaking opportunities, and industry associations to position your firm as an industry leader and trusted authority.
