Construction – At the forefront of industry growth

Strategic investments into marketing are driving the construction industry forwards.

 

CONSTRUCTION IS MOVING FORWARD DESPITE UNCERTAINTY

In 2018, the overall spend of the U.K. and Ireland construction sectors increased whilst maintaining continued growth as a leading industry, with a record number of businesses established and people employed, despite skills shortages across the whole marketplace (ONS).

Research has shown that 42% of companies planning to increase their marketing budgets over the next year, and 34% are hoping to increase their headcount. The increased budgets in marketing and added personnel are undeniably a big step forward for construction companies, however it’s only with a targeted strategy that the investment will reach full potential in an industry which has traditionally neglected marketing spend.

 

THE MILLENNIALS ARE COMING

It’s becoming more widely recognised that the two industries being left behind by the digital marketing revolution are agriculture and construction. With many companies in these sectors struggling to find a focus for their digital operations, and the next generation of millennials making up an ever-growing proportion of the workforce, now is the time for would-be disruptors to leapfrog the competition by developing a future-proof digital strategy.
