    Hello, Interfaith Design! 

    In researching avenues for communicating with those interested in faith-based design, both within and outside of the AIA, I'm curious- where are you most often engaging with architects, clients, and other colleagues these days? Do you find that some "channels" work better than others for this particular audience? Are you finding useful content on social media, or through some other outlet?

    Our Interfaith Design Facebook page is very active and energized (click here to follow) though it looks like our numbers are light compared to our membership.

    Thank you for opening this discussion. I strongly feel (and research supports) Twitter and Instagram, with Instagram by far taking the lead in the arts sectors.

    Good question.  We connect with architects primarily through Linkdin.  As for clients, we always ask where they "discovered" us.  Interestingly, almost all reply that although they find us through our website, they usually check out our Facebook page before contacting us.  We get told it shows the "human" side of our firm.  As for Instagram, that seems geared toward the younger crowd - maybe potential employees - but seems the most active of social media...except for Twitter, where everyone seems to be these days.
