The challenge

Scape wanted to drive greater awareness of their brand and PBSA in the domestic market, with lead-generation a key target (10,400 leads).

The goal

We needed to make Scape’s presence visible in locations that were contextually relevant to people aged 18-25.

Secondly, we needed to be disruptive in demonstrating why those people should live at Scape so that they would take the steps to book a lead, take a tour or call/email. Key principles guiding our strategy included: context, balancing brand and activation, and focusing on reach.

The solution

We rolled out a combination of high impact and contextually relevant outdoor, transit and rail ads to drive awareness of the Scape brand. The campaign didn’t just sell a room, but instead sold a lifestyle that would unlock unlimited possibilities.

To drive leads we implemented in-house digital activity and through our media consumption tool Roy Morgan we were able to scope out digital partners whose audiences over-indexed in either the P18-25 domestic demographic or could target the International P18-25 demographic.
