Smps pre program presentation - prime time - march 2017

1. Prime Time
March 22, 2017

2. The Society of Marketing Professional Services was
created in 1973, here in St. Louis, by a small group of
professional service firm leaders who recognized the
need to sharpen skills, pool resources and work together
to create business opportunities. Together they created
SMPS to help tackle the day-to-day complexities of
marketing in a time when marketing was barely
acknowledged as a separate component of professional
service firms.
Today, SMPS represents a dynamic network of 6,000+
marketing and business development professionals from
architectural, engineering, planning, interior design,
construction, and specialty consulting firms located
throughout the United States and Canada.
