Brand

The cornerstone of any successful campaign. The art of place branding lies in successfully capturing and communicating the essence of a place before it is created. Once a buyer develops an emotional connection with a place, the sales process moves beyond simply purchasing bricks and mortar and more towards how the property will enrich their lives.

Place Strategy

From creating vision and identity strategies for new communities to repositioning entire suburbs for future transformation, Rare have been delivering successful place marketing strategies which have brought communities to life since 1998.

Creative

From bespoke brochures to display suites, signage & print advertising, every piece of collateral is designed to educate and inspire confidence in what you are delivering.

Digital & Lead Gen

Leveraging from decades of experience in real estate marketing and lead generation, Rare’s interactive division develops bespoke lead gen content, lead conversion websites and corporate web solutions for property clients utilising market leading technology designed to attract and convert more enquiry.

Film & Content

With more than 85% of buyers now searching online for property, the quality of your video content is paramount to attracting more buyers. Our inhouse team of creatives have worked on global brands spanning property, financial services, tourism & consumer goods, therefore offering a fresh approach and depth of experience second to none.

CGI & Animation

Rare have developed partnerships with a number of Australia’s most talented CGI artists, providing an integrated solution for CGI, video and animation production. We take care of the process end to end, ensuring the most important components to your property campaign are delivered on time, on brand and to the highest possible standard.

History.

 

1997-2022 overview:

 

In 1997 we launched the $75m, 272 apartment development ‘The Hudson’ in Alexandria, a campaign which broke a lot of new ground. It was one of first masterplanned developments ever to be marketed off-the-plan in Sydney. It featured the largest display suite ever created in Sydney. For us, it also lead to our first national print award. Since then, we’ve never looked back and continued to innovate and hone our craft to deliver better results for our clients.
