The Society for Marketing Professional Services was created in 1973 by a small group of professional service firm leaders who recognized the need to sharpen skills, pool resources and work together to create business opportunities. Together they created SMPS to help tackle the day-to-day complexities of marketing in a time when marketing was barely acknowledged as a separate component of professional service firms.

Today, the national association has 53 chapters and a membership of 6,000+ marketing and business development professionals from architectural, engineering, planning, interior design, construction, and specialty consulting firms located throughout the US and Canada. Together, these professionals contribute support for the SMPS mission: "To advocate for, educate, and connect leaders in the building industry."
