Mason Developments needed help launching their new development Olde Cork Farm. This property development company needed a whole, new brand image. Previously marketing highrise apartments, this new development was focused on country living and modern farm-style homes.

Instead of marketing simply the houses I created a marketing strategy to immerse their audience into the entire lifestyle. They aren't buying a house, they're buying an exclusive lifestyle for their family. Wake up in the morning with the heartwarming sounds of birds chirping, feeling the cool morning breeze. Sunrise through to sunset in the mountains. Driving through beautiful wine farms. Wild horses and parks where dogs play. Showing the essence of what it means to be so fortunate to live in Constantia. A level of luxury, splendour, and warm sophistication. Memories and nostalgia are the main themes of the story, connecting the viewers with the brand and leaving them feeling emotionally moved.

The client wanted to reinvent their look and feel on their social media and online assets so that they could increase their brand awareness and secure more home decor, design, and build jobs.

They were receiving little to no traction on social media and had a very low click-through rate on their email marketing campaigns. They also did not have a list-building strategy in place, so they were constantly reaching out to a market that had already used their services.

A unique startup in a new field.

Olivela went against the expert opinions of not only myself, but our paid social lead and their Facebook rep. They wanted to set up their ad sets in a very niche way by targeting each celebrity and their charity. For example, one ad set for Jennifer Anniston and one ad set for St. Jude. Not only did I struggle with targeting challenges, but creative issues as well. The celebrities and charity's representation were later seeing the creative live on their feeds and telling Olivela they were not approved, so I had to pause ads and/or launch new ones. The algorithm was consistently being reset almost on a daily basis due to unforeseen circumstances on Olivela's side.
