The Only Bubbles Popping
goal:
Generate Leads
Increase Sales
the challenge:
In the midst of a shaky marketplace, we were tasked to “turn heads,” addressing the market’s concern about the “real estate bubble” in an aggressive and memorable way, while maintaining an upscale image.
insight & strategy:
To counter fears and negative news about the housing situation, DCA created a strategy to address these issues head-on and stake a strong positive position. Most unique campaign components were the “Bubble Insert” a magazine ad utilizing actual bubble wrap; the “Bubble Blast” a viral animated sales video that was distributed on the web and as a podcast; and a publicity stunt consisting of Segway riders dressed in a mix of business and social attire to emphasize the “Work/Play” aspects of the building, handing out postcards to drivers stuck in traffic.
the result:
- We achieved the best of worlds with this campaign. The “Bubble Insert” which ran in Ocean Drive, won a Gold ADDY, and a Silver District ADDY
- The campaign received press coverage in South Florida CEO, Miami Today and the Coral Gables Gazette, among others
- More importantly, there was a large increase in sales calls after the campaign launch and a 12% spike in sales over the week of Segway activity
