Baker Barrios Architects Announces New Leadership Roles For Multifamily, Healthcare Design

Building Design + Construction



Baker Barrios Architects’ multidisciplinary portfolio includes (top) ECCO Apartments in Elizabeth, N.J.; Diveheart’s warm water therapy pool (bottom R) in North Chicago, Ill.; and Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine (bottom L) in Orlando, Fla.


Every public relations program Taylor Johnson executes is strategically planned around each individual client’s goals, from highlighting thought leadership and capabilities to supporting leasing or sales. PR is also a valuable tool for companies during times of growth. For TJ client Baker Barrios, we began working with the Orlando-based architecture firm as it opened its fourth office, in Chicago, as part of its national expansion efforts, and have been following their trajectory, providing both public relations and integrated social media marketing. Our most recent news for Baker Barrios continued to support the firm’s growth messaging by announcing two new leadership roles, based in Nashville and Chicago. We targeted regional and national business and trade media, resulting in numerous media placements, including this story in Building Design + Construction.



If you’d like to discuss your current business challenges and goals, and learn how public relations and social media can help, feel free to reach out to Taylor Johnson president Emily Johnson.
