The MCAA is thrilled to announce that after discussions with several companies already committed to the 2024 Masonry Alliance Program, it will now include a group of benefits that leverage the MASONRY DESIGN publication and its role within the architecture, design, and engineering community. For all companies who have entered the MAP at the Gold, Platinum, and Cornerstone levels, the benefit may be added at no additional charge for the first year of the program. 

The new suite of MASONRY DESIGN benefits includes: 

  • Monthly educational article 
  • Quarterly advertorial 
  • 1X webinar per year to the architecture/design community
  • Linked logo across MASONRY DESIGN website 
  • Linked logo in MASONRY DESIGN newsletters
  • Run of site banner ads capped at 10,000 monthly impressions (728X90 and 300X250)

Beginning in 2024, the Masonry Alliance Program redefines the MCAA's relationships with active industry suppliers and manufacturers. The MAP will replace the current MCAA Strategic and Corporate Partnerships.

Items such as event attendance, sponsorship, and advertising MASONRY and MASONRY DESIGN publications will no longer be available outside of the MAP. The program is broken into four tiers, each with their own respective indefinite cap of companies.

Availability is now open to any interested company, and 39 out of the 70 have been filled. For more information on the MAP, please visit masonryalliances.com.
