Challenge
Hamptons, a 150-year-old established brand, faced the challenge of evolving its perception to appeal to a younger audience amidst a competitive market. The goal was not only to shift perception but also to increase brand awareness, consideration and ultimately the number of instructions (MA’s) in their portfolio.
Audience
Affluent individuals aged 24 and above, specifically within Hamptons’ geo catchment area.
Strategy
To meet the challenge head-on, we rolled out an omni-channel approach that combined the broad reach of TV – using Channel 4 and Sky Adsmart – with the precision of display channels, property homepage takeovers, and paid social media. This integrated strategy aimed to synergize different media platforms to heighten awareness, drive web traffic, and stimulate interest. With video ads to boost engagement and specific geo-targeting tailored to Hamptons’ areas of operation, we also leveraged premium publisher partnerships, positioning the Hamptons brand alongside other esteemed brands to further elevate its perception.
