I'm an advocate for better communications, collaboration and digitisation within construction and the built environment. I trained as an architect and managed architects practices which gave me my first experience of marketing. My consultancy provides strategic advice manufacturers, professional and trade associations, consultancies and others and I also write content for several manufacturers and distributors.  Check out my LinkedIn for details.

As MD of Built Environment and Architecture Media I work with the talented and creative teams behind Architecture Today, School of Specification, RegenerativeArchitecture.org, CMA Awards and the Construction & Built Environment Marketing Network. My track record in architecture and built environment media - and the industry more widely - spans over 30 years, continuously creating opportunities for championing and supporting our professional communities as they have grappled with the challenges and opportunities of our times. I still relish the challenge of reinventing established media brands in response to the changing needs of our audiences and the realities of a fast-changing media landscape and have overseen the successful relaunch of The Architects’ Journal, RIBA Journal and Architecture Today as multi-media content platforms as well as notable launches such as AJ 40 Under 40, UK Architecture at MIPIM and the World Architecture Festival.   I became an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 2023.

I'm a mum of 2 and seasoned marketing professional with 16 years of experience, primarily within the construction and building products sector. Throughout my career, I've delivered award-winning campaigns, successfully launched impactful products, and driven brand growth across the UK and Europe.  Currently serving as the Marketing Manager at Catnic (Tata Steel UK), I specialise in integrating strategic planning, digital tools, and collaborative efforts to achieve meaningful results. My expertise lies in simplifying complex concepts and transforming them into actionable strategies that deliver tangible value.   I’m passionate about pushing boundaries in construction marketing and have had the privilege of judging the Construction Marketing Awards for several years and serving on the CIMCIG committee.

My name is Kayley, I work for Clark-Drain Ltd a family run business who manufacture drainage and access solutions in the UK. I started with the company as a Marketing Assistant and I am now Marketing Manager for our department. I thoroughly enjoy the creativity and doing something different everyday, working in a medium size family business it means that i am involved in ALL things marketing not just specific areas such as Socials and i get to be involved with different departments and project across the company so this keeps my job exciting and interesting, always learning something new :)

With over 15 years’ experience of strategic marketing in the built environment, I have previously worked at some well-known names within the industry. I’ve had an exciting career so far, working on research projects to unlock growth for companies, implementing strategies for international markets throughout Europe as well as developing and launching products through multi-channel campaigns.  Sustainability is a big passion of mine – the ever increasing threat of the climate emergency means that sustainable thinking needs to be at the heart of all strategies. I have experience in reviewing a company’s carbon impact by looking at scopes 1 -3. With this data, I was able to contribute to creating roadmaps and translate them into successful commercial strategy. I’m thrilled to have founded Urban Fox Marketing, which is all my passion and knowledge (and curiosity) poured into a marketing consultancy, tailored to each client.
