Meet Nick Barry, a passionate Marketing Professional at DPR Construction and a dedicated member of SMPS Atlanta! With a background in interior design and hands-on experience in architecture, Nick’s journey into AEC marketing was driven by his love for storytelling, networking, and building strong relationships. “I wanted to be an architect when I grew up, and my first job at a small architecture firm allowed me to experience multiple roles. That’s where I found my passion for marketing and the stories behind the projects we create.” In his role at DPR Construction, Nick leads pursuits, prepares presentations, coordinates photography, and manages various marketing initiatives—all while collaborating closely with his team to showcase the incredible projects they build. Transitioning to a general contractor’s marketing team presented new challenges, but Nick embraced the learning curve. “Marketing and BD strategy in construction is different from architecture and engineering, but I’m having a blast learning new things.” He is also excited about the evolving role of AI and videography in AEC marketing, helping to enhance storytelling and project documentation. Nick has been an SMPS Atlanta member for just over a year, quickly immersing himself in the community and serving on the DEI committee. “Joining SMPS has helped me build meaningful relationships and gain valuable industry insights. It’s rewarding to connect with fellow marketers and work together to make a difference.” His advice to those considering SMPS? “Come see what we’re about! The relationships you build here will inspire you and help elevate your career.” Outside of work, Nick enjoys exploring Atlanta’s neighborhoods, discovering new restaurants in West Midtown, and embracing the city’s vibrant culture. And here’s a fun fact—before moving to Atlanta, he lived in a lighthouse! SMPS Atlanta is proud to spotlight Nick and celebrate his contributions to the AEC industry.
