Magazine Articles
Would a published article raise awareness of your products or services? Richard can help!
In 2006, Ladtech, Inc., a manufacturer of components for manholes (www.ladtech.com), wanted to increase awareness of its products among public works officials. Based on interviews of Ladtech personnel and background material, Richard wrote a press release. Then, via research at the library, Richard found 21 public works-related magazines and sent the press release to all of them. As a result, stories were published in:
• Underground Construction
• Public Works
• U.S. Water News
• Construction Bulletin
CE News magazine (trade pub for civil engineers) asked Rick Harrison (www.rhsdplanning.com), a planner who specializes in designing suburban housing developments, for an article on his methods. Based on an interview of Rick and background information, Richard wrote the article. It’s in the November 2003 issue.
Two mechanical engineers at Ellerbe Becket, a Minneapolis-based architecture and engineering company (now part of AECOM), received a request from Consulting-Specifying Engineer magazine to write an article about their designs of fume hoods for research labs. Richard interviewed the engineers and ghost-wrote the article – i.e. it was published under their by-line – in the November 1994 issue.
Architect and sculptor Alexander Tylevich needed greater visibility of his services. Richard wrote two articles about Tylevich’s work – “Anti-Semitism and Practice in the USSR” (Progressive Architecture, August 1991) and “The Art of Alexander Tylevich” (Architecture Minnesota, Jan-Feb 1998).
