It’s an inclusive place (for ALL architecture business owners). So whether you’re an Architect, Architectural Technologist, or Architectural Designer…If you sell architectural services and want to improve the way you do things…This is THE podcast for you. I’m Jon Clayton, your show host, and a Chartered Architectural Technologist based in the UK. I’ve been in architecture for over two decades and running my own (solo) practice for 10 years+.

    Key Takeaways...

    Creating Excitement with FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)

    May King Tsang talks about using FOMO to build excitement around your business. You can do this in three ways:

    • Before an event – Create anticipation and get people talking.
    • During the event – Keep the energy high by sharing updates and engaging with your audience.
    • After the event – Keep the buzz going so people stay interested and don’t want to miss the next one.

    Showing Up Consistently & Being Yourself

    Being active on social media isn’t just about business. Sharing your work, personal stories, and daily life helps people get to know, like, and trust you. The more real you are, the more people will want to connect and engage with you.

    Keeping It Simple & Taking Action

    You don’t need fancy equipment to make great content—your phone is enough. The most important thing is to start posting. When you show up regularly, even silent followers (the ones watching but not commenting) may turn into future clients.

    Get Involved

    Don’t just scroll and like posts—start real conversations. Comment, ask questions, and join discussions. The more you engage, the more people will notice you, helping you build stronger relationships and new business opportunities.

    Share Helpful Content

    Your posts should help, not just sell. Share tips, insights, and solutions to your audience’s problems. Mix it up with videos, images, and case studies to keep things interesting and easy to engage with.
