Perched high on the Airlie Beach headland in far north Queensland lies Airlie Summit, an 89-lot Alder Group development project like no other.

Challenge

We were approached by Alder Developments to market their newly acquired site in Airlie Beach. Their key objective was to generate quality leads and sales off-the-plan in a cost effective way. To do that, they needed a clear message and an integrated media strategy.

Strategy and Approach

Marketing can be confusing and stressful without the right team, and Alder gave us the opportunity to show them we knew a better, smarter way to achieve a positive outcome. We knew we had to be different or risk wasting time and money on marketing that would get lost in the noise.

Final Experience

Through our marketing’s clever blending of ‘sea change and tree change’ combined with our positioning of a unique Airlie Beach residence as befitting ‘winners’, we attracted an immediate and exceptionally high level of impact with a 5.533% return on ad spend, resulting in $4.2M of sales in just 4 months.

Realestate.com.au Annual Excellence Awards Finalists 2022​

We were thrilled when Airlie Summit was selected as one of the top four finalists in the Realestate.com.au Integrated Brand Campaign of The Year awards! This was a significant achievement, and we were all incredibly proud. This recognition was a testament to the hard work, dedication and creativity the iCreate team put into this campaign and the trust and collaboration of Alder Developments.

Conveying the land’s scarcity was another key objective, ramping up the FOMO factor, positioning it as a rare opportunity to create a holiday retreat or forever home whose breathtaking ridge position offering privacy and exclusivity.

Maximising every dollar

A High-Net-Worth audience’s needs are emotional, not functional. Our marketing aimed to ‘reward’ their success by connecting with their desire for better social and environmental impact.

Our subtle messaging asked, ‘What does success look like? Answer: ‘A holiday or forever home at Airlie Summit.’ Our tagline – ‘Reach New Heights’ – always referenced the pursuit of success.

Utilising this information, we were able to save Alder money by targeting the right audiences that would convert.

By blending both “sea change” and “tree change” into one breathtaking brand and story, we strategically selected media placements including signage, a boat launch event, Realesate.com.au advertising, along with Facebook and Google, we could connect with our high-net-worth audience, and sell the dream of creating a holiday retreat or forever home masterpiece in one of Australia’s truly grand landscapes.

Every step we considered, every dollar we spent, had to produce a fresh perception of Airlie Summit.

This, we had to proclaim, was a new vision; a unique master plan that would far and away eclipse all other Airlie Beach development sites. Whether wanting a tree change or sea change, Airlie Summit was the dream.

“iCreate listened to all parties from the initial brief to create and deliver a premium brand and was successful in promoting both the brand and the project to deliver over 700 registrations of interest within three months of launch, cultivated over $4.5m in sales with an average sale price 30% above current on the market comparable stock.

I have no doubt that both the creative input, brand development and execution of the marketing by iCreate has been pivotal in the early success of the project and set up for continued success.”

“iCreate has been considerate of everything. They have workshopped well with us and produced perfect marketing material across a broad section of marketing tasks to “nail” the outcome we needed. iCreate is a fabulous team and has achieved everything we needed them to, which pleases us.”
