Local Online Firm Finder
Your firm featured where clients can find you
AIA TB is offering a new marketing opportunity for your firm! All members are invited to have their firm listed in AIA TB's new Referral website finder.

As the resource for everything architecture, AIA Tampa Bay often receives calls or emails from clients seeking to hire a qualified architect or firm to work on their project. Because the internet is such a widely used resource and the AIA is the association for architecture – what better way to market your firm than through a listing on our website?

The AIA Tampa Bay website is easily found when searching for Tampa Bay Architects, and we plan to highlight the new webtool on our front page with a very obvious sidebar ad that links to the Find An Architect main page. This page will not only link to the lists of qualified architects, sorted by project type, it will also have resources for clients, such as You and Your Architect, How Design Works for You and more. Each firm that is listed will have their own dedicated webpage with all of their contact information, project images and a link back to their own website. Learn how to participate here!

2008 Architectural Photography Calendar
Have your firm listed- 4 spots left!
Earlier this year, the AIA Tampa Bay Associate’s Committee sponsored their first amateur Architectural Photography Competition. The top 15 entries will be used to create a well-designed 2008 Architectural Calendar. The intent of the calendar is to boost appreciation of architecture within our community as well as to raise funds to support the important work of the Associate’s committee. We are offering an opportunity for 15 firms or individuals to sponsor the calendar. We already have 11 sponsors, leaving us with just 4 spots left!

Reserve your month before its too late! For a $200 donation your firm will receive extensive exposure, including your firm name or logo incorporated into one month of the calendar. Click here for more info.
