Challenge

Challenge

Wilcox Meadows entered the market with a unique offering: spacious, single-story rental homes designed for active adults seeking the freedom of renting without sacrificing the comfort of homeownership. The community featured private entrances, attached garages, open floorplans, and a maintenance-free lifestyle in a highly desirable Northeast Ohio location. 

The challenge wasn't awareness.

The challenge was education.

Many prospective residents didn't know a build-to-rent lifestyle existed. We needed to introduce a new housing category, build demand among an older demographic, and convert high-intent prospects into tours and leases.

Approach

Approach

We built a full-funnel strategy focused on audience intelligence, life-stage targeting, and behavioral insights.

Key initiatives included:

  • Paid Search campaigns targeting active adult and downsizing intent

  • Audience targeting built around homeowners, empty nesters, and lifestyle transition signals

  • Meta campaigns showcasing single-story living, maintenance-free convenience, and community benefits

  • Programmatic media targeting high-value 50+ audiences across Northeast Ohio

  • Geofencing campaigns around competing active adult and senior housing communities

  • Connected TV campaigns designed to build awareness with mature renter audiences

  • Identity Resolution technology to uncover previously anonymous website visitors

  • Dynamic retargeting campaigns focused on tour generation

  • Heat map analysis and conversion optimization to improve lead generation

  • AI-powered budget allocation and campaign optimization across channels

Why it Worked

Why it Worked

Most multifamily marketing starts with channels.

We started with people.

Through audience intelligence, behavioral data, and life-stage targeting, we identified residents most likely to embrace the build-to-rent lifestyle before they began actively searching.

The result was a more efficient leasing strategy, stronger lead quality, and faster occupancy growth.
