Global Architect Alliance (GAA) Podcast: Recent Episodes
Global Architect Alliance
Global Architect Alliance (GAA) is a live podcast which connects architects and designers from all over the globe through the audio app clubhouse. Debates happen weekly and live every Thursday at 7pm GMT.
In this special episode we talk about the GAA mentoring services and why you should consider employing an independent mentor. Many people give up too easily on achieving their dreams and after completing 300 hours of 1 to 1 mentoring we believe the GAA mentoring services could bring you closer to achieving those dreams at any stage of your career. You don't need to be in the architecture sector too.
If you book from now until the end of January 2023 the first 25 people will get 50% off our 6 month mentoring package. Use the coupon code: JANSALE50%OFF and you will gain access to one of the best mentoring programs for construction professionals on the market.
We also offer a FREE 15 minute phone consultation (no obligation) so that I can understand your individual situation and can assess if I will be able to help you achieve those dreams. To contact me go to https://www.globalarchitectalliance.com/ and book the "Introduction to services" option.

Welcome to Season 3 of the Global Architect Alliance (GAA). As we are midway through season 3 I have a special episode for all of our listeners, the special guest today is ………..Nikita Morell, a copywriter based in Australia. The question we are asking today is; Why are architects' websites so badly designed?
Nikita Morell only works with architects, creating copy and marketing plans. In her words, "If you want a steady stream of ridiculously good projects, you need ridiculously good copy". Nikita business focuses on copywriting and helps architects who want to clearly communicate the value they bring to a project—but don’t have the time or headspace to write.
In this episode we discuss what common mistakes architects make with their websites and why are words so important, but more importantly why well designed websites and great copy lead to ridiculously great projects!
