Ellen Bruss Design’s outreach to real estate developers received an enthusiastic response, with a reply rate exceeding industry averages by 50%. In just four months, 7.5% of the real estate developers targeted resulted in meetings, more than doubling the industry average.

Meetings Booked

Using our PROPEL™ process, we developed an ideal company profile focusing on large real estate developers. Our data team meticulously researched each developer, segmenting lists by property type. We then crafted buyer personas targeting specific job titles within real estate sales and marketing teams. We helped them develop a custom ‘Place Branding Audit’ lead magnet, offering developers upfront value. Hyper-personalized messaging was used to contact real estate developers, referencing their specific properties, creating highly engaging emails, and improving meeting conversions.

HOW WE DID IT
Challenge

As a small branding and marketing agency based in Denver, Ellen Bruss Design enjoyed local brand recognition but needed help reaching out to brands beyond their regional market. The agency primarily depended on word-of-mouth, referrals, and inbound marketing strategies. However, with constrained resources, they found it challenging to proactively connect with and engage new companies outside their established Denver clientele.

Testimonial

“The Christian Banach team helped us hone and advance our communications strategy, specifically by making us realize and understand what our unique perspective is. They bring skill and process to new business – the research, targeting, and creation of connections – and tee it up for you to do the pitch. They take the pain out of the painstaking process that is lead gen. The result has been a consistent flow of meetings and RFPs.”
