Launching real estate's first platform.

Objective

Bring the biggest innovation in the company's 35 year history, real estate's first platform featuring a host of newly modernized products, to market.

This launch was the culmination of five years of corporate strategy, innovation, and acquisitions. It was also the realization of the founder's original vision in 1989—an 'end-to-end' platform for all real estate.

Role

As the interim marketing leader, I planned the largest GTM campaign in Lone Wolf's history.

This included the annual marketing plan and budget; branding, positioning, and GTM for the new platform and products; customer marketing, internal marketing, events, and media outreach plans; and finally, content strategy and production (including a near-total overhaul of the website in just three months).

Message: It's a new industry now.

Countdown

An integrated marketing campaign, our launch involved a digital takeover of real estate's #1 news site (paid and organic), digital advertising, social campaign, high-touch media outreach, and much more, culminating in a successful demonstration at a major industry event.
