One Crown Place
Driving brand awareness and preference among Chinese property buyers and investors
One Crown Place is a premium development in central London. The development needed to stand out in London’s competitive and crowded property market to generate leads and secure sales.
With our buyer-focused approach, the development’s brand visibility and preference have skyrocketed among Chinese high-net-worth purchasers and investors, producing phenomenal results and ROI.
The Challenge
One Crown Place, needed to showcase its unique luxury apartments and mixed-use complex to attract and engage with affluent Chinese buyers.
In the competitive market for high end London properties, the development needed a campaign that would reach the small fraction of High Net Worth buyers who are genuine prospects for the development.
Our Strategy
For greatest impact we needed to find the overlap between what this development has to offer, and what our target audience values most.
Using interviews with buyers of similar properties, we uncovered a set of important buying triggers for our target market.
By matching the property’s USP’s to the buying triggers, we found the sweet spot of messaging. From there, influencer choice and the content for each funnel step became obvious.
