The 2018 Spring Media Campaign Has Arrived

Ah, there is nothing like knowing that Spring is just around the corner. While we still have three weeks of winter to weather, we’ve got blue skies, sunshine and the flowers on the mind! The birds are chirping about the arrival of spring…and the arrival of our spring media campaign alongside it!

Below we have outlined some important information regarding the various types of Media Buys that we will be doing over the course of the next 8 weeks. The Spring Media Campaign will officially launch on March 5, 2018 – so keep your eyes to the sky and online to catch a glimpse of it in market.

THE CREATIVE APPROACH

The goal of this campaign was to capture the essence of what really makes a RE/MAX agent stand out from the competition. While we could have gone with the obvious – most productive, most recommended and #1 – our research showed that consumers want to make an emotional connection with a brand, not just logical. So we pulled out all of the “sticky factors” that really get to the heart of what our agents do best. Afterall, it is the “feeling” that the home buyer remembers, not the fact that the agent is more productive.

The campaign is written from the perspective of a recent buyer or seller that has worked with a RE/MAX agent and paired with lifestyle imagery that captures the essence of a moment in time. The tagline “That’s the sign of a RE/MAX agent” is used predominantly through, which syncs and aligns with LLC and our US counterparts
