Who we are.
Jayme Gately & Pam Raymond
Co-Founders, Blueprint.
With years of strategy and tactics that secured over a billion dollars in design fees, we feel qualified to give you the scalable advice and encouragement you need to set up for success and, ultimately, win — whether that means a signed contract or a community that feels genuinely heard.
We are curious, tireless, and believe more than ever that firms and organizations of all sizes should benefit from the rigor and refinement we learned early on. We are motivated by quality and the reward of seeing plans work. We understand how challenging this work is, and if we can make the marketing, communications, and engagement side of it easier — and occasionally fun — that's what we're here to do.
Jayme and Pam have worked together for two decades — directing business development, marketing, and communications initiatives for an extra-large, multi-disciplinary, international design firm. Fast forward several years, and we left the world of XL firms and the intensity of competing against the best talent in the world. We aggregated everything we learned, refined it to its essence, and created our consulting practice to support smaller-scale firms and the broader mix of developers, architects, and public agencies shaping the built environment.
Today, we still offer advice and expertise to our clients on an individualized basis, and we've expanded access to some of that expertise through downloadable templates and guides for design firms. As our practice has grown, so has its scope: alongside marketing, communications, and business development, we now guide developers, architects, and city officials through community engagement — helping projects earn public trust and move forward smoothly.
What we offer.
We believe that the foundation of a thriving design practice or a well-run building or development project comes down to the same fundamentals: knowing how to develop new business, and knowing how to communicate the work, value, and differentiators behind it, whether the audience is a prospective client, a stakeholder, or a neighborhood.
Blueprint disrupts an age-old approach, removing the mystery and needless complexity of how to set and reach your goals — from optimizing what's working well and adjusting your trajectory, to proving your value, enhancing your reputation, and building trust with the communities affected by your work.
Our downloadable templates and guides, built for design firms, are supported by an ask-us-anything approach. Really, you can reach out anytime and we'll answer any of your specific questions (provided they're about BD, marketing, and communications!). Our tools are intuitive, easy to use, and they'll render you and your firm exceedingly competitive. Our recommendations are sophisticated but they're also reasonable, rational, and jargon-less. They're doable.
Design firms can download what they need and start using it immediately, or engage us for a deeper consultation that results in a curated, customized plan. Developers and city offices work with us directly through consulting and workshops — including community engagement support that helps projects earn public trust and move forward smoothly.
Whether you're new to business development, have been at it a while and need some inspiration, a principal who also moonlights as the CMO, or a project team navigating a community process for the first time, our tiered offerings are designed to meet you where you're at.
