Selling video production for brands and businesses to architects

Architecture practices are often small studios led by one or two directors, with larger firms organised by sector. They specify materials and products on projects, so suppliers want to be known to them long before a build starts.

Video producers usually get work through their showreel, referrals and repeat clients. A lead database of businesses that could use video lets you reach new clients between projects and remember who showed interest.

The architects that need video production for brands and businesses are listed publicly. What most video producers lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What video producers run into with architects

Work arrives in bursts and prospecting is forgotten during busy months.

Statuses and segments show exactly where you stopped, so you can restart outreach quickly.

You want to show your work without sending heavy attachments.

Link to your showreel or a form from a campaign and see who opened and clicked.

Architects receive many supplier mails and ignore generic ones.

Placeholders and segments per sector let you send a relevant message instead of one blast.

Small studios often have only a studio@ address.

Add studio@ as your own prefix in email from domain.

Angles that work with architects

Write one mail with placeholders and let the details change per record. These openings tend to work with architects.

  • Refer to a recent project and suggest how your product fits similar work.
  • Offer technical data, samples or a short learning session, which architects value.
  • Keep visuals and specifications easy to find, because architects decide on detail.

Questions people ask

Add a field or tags for sectors such as residential or commercial. Save a filter per sector and write a campaign for each.

Public planning records often name the agent or architect. You collect those names yourself, save them as a CSV and import them. Riftjaw does not crawl those sites for you.

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, studio@, hello@ and office@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
