Budgeting for Growth
from Office Hours by Peopledesign Hosted by Peopledesign
The built environment industry is mature and rapidly evolving, with consolidation, shifting work patterns, expanding product categories, and rising digital expectations, requiring brands to proactively pivot toward future growth rather than relying on legacy models. Most companies underinvest in marketing and misalign their budgets, focusing on bottom-up tactical spending (such as showrooms, imagery, trade shows, and sales support) instead of strategic priorities like customer experience, digital tools, positioning, and long-term innovation. Growth requires aligning strategy and budgets using a multi-horizon model, balancing core business optimization (H1), emerging opportunities (H2), and transformative innovation (H3), supported by modern marketing systems, a proper funnel, and long-term investment in positioning and customer experience.
