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.
We are curious, tireless, and believe more than ever that firms 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 profession is, and if we can make the marketing aspect 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, 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 practices to support smaller-scale firms.
Today, we still offer advice and expertise to our clients on an individualized basis and now, we’re expanding access to those resources through downloadable templates and guides.
What we offer.
We believe that the foundation of a thriving design practice is underscored by basic fundamentals, from knowing how to develop new business to communicating the work, resources and differentiators of your firm.
Blueprint disrupts an age-old approach, removing the mystery and needless complexity of how to set and obtain your firm's goals – from optimizing what’s working well and adjusting your trajectory, to proving your firm’s value and enhancing your reputation.
Our downloadable templates and guidelines 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.
