INTRODUCTION.
Welcome to our ‘We’re your locals’ Campaign which provides a new dimension to our
international presence by devoting a real focus towards our local market places where
we live, work and are part of the community. This campaign is designed to raise our
profile by showcasing our community involvement with the key purpose being to
generate more listings.

We have included a cross-media mix of material to communicate to the varying
demographics we have in our individual market places. The campaign offers a very
flexible platform to promote your franchise, office as well as profile an individual.

The design represents a modern, clean and consistent look with the hero of the
campaign being the local photography which we have allowed you to factor into your
personalised campaign, supported by flexibility in messages that will allow you to
create emotion with your community.

As a group we have the power to project our message and brand to the forefront of our
customer’s awareness. We are using #wereyourlocals on social media portals to build
on the power of the campaign. Ensure you embrace this with your digital marketing.

We look forward to your participation in this campaign which will provide significant
opportunities for our brand in the market places we operate.

PERSONALISATION STRUCTURE – Front.
The design is clean and simple, but you can create quite a range of looks through the adaption of the photography which should
be the hero of the campaign. We have also provided an area to credit the photographer or add a photo description. The repetition
of this simple key message will promote our consistency, and no matter what area you are in, the public will be inundated with
‘We’re your locals’ messages.

We’re your locals.                                                  We’re your locals in ‘your area’.
    We’re Where you are.                                             We’re Where you are.

PHOTOGRAPHY REQUIREMENTS.
What is great about the flexibility of the templates is a range of images look great in this format. You don’t necessarily need
powerful sunsets or flashy night time images; the idea is to provide images that show a day to day aspect of your local community.
Images that evoke emotion or spark a connection to back up your message that you truly are local. The concept of this campaign
is to represent your area in the unique way you know it. To attract the niche group of people who you would not normally reach.
