FAQ

Questions about the B.U.I.L.D. process

What is the B.U.I.L.D. framework?

B.U.I.L.D. is Nerd Herd’s five-stage process for HVAC and building-product marketing: Brand, Understand, Implement, Launch, and Deliver. It takes a manufacturer from scattered marketing activity to a plan, live campaigns, and results reported on the P&L.

How long does the B.U.I.L.D. process take?

Brand and Understand typically run inside a 90-business-day Strategic Foundation engagement. Implement, Launch, and Deliver continue month to month as your marketing runs and improves.

Do we have to start at the beginning?

No. Most clients start at Brand or Understand, and some already have a strong brand and start at Implement. We assess where you are on the strategy call.
