Building Buzz Before Buildout
A project at this scale has many moving parts and many different audiences to engage and win over. Momentum and interest need to build over time. And meaningful connections with vendors and potential audiences need to be made well in advance of opening.
With smart partner events, printed materials, site signage, social media, and targeted earned media outreach, we’ve been able to help Hendricks Commercial Properties market and sell the Bottleworks District. The series of architecture, music, culinary, and groundbreaking events have helped to engage and grow the diverse audiences. And, the events also reinforce the developments’ cool vibe. As a result, top office, residential, and retail leases are being signed, and the word is out locally and nationally.
Our collaborative efforts have brought nearly 7,000 people to the site during the pre-construction phase. Social media engagement is up over 175% across multiple channels, and organic traffic to the website has doubled. Additionally, Bottleworks has been featured in 64 earned media pieces to date, reaching more than 100 million unique visitors online and more than 2 million readers in print.
