The content studio for multifamily

A full year of lifestyle photography, brand film, and resident-generated content for multifamily, BTR, student, and senior housing. One strategy. One production. Need a single photographer in San Marcos or a full team on-site in Baton Rouge? We've got you covered.

A category we built

UGC is fragile. Branded content is flat. We built the third thing.

Resident-Generated Content. Made by the people who actually live there, produced by us. Casting, scripting, capture, edit, consents, releases. You get the authenticity renters trust without the legal exposure or the operational drag.

Verdant. Talbot Development.

A brand built around calm that hit a 6x-category organic form-fill rate — before the community even opened its doors.

The brief. Build a brand around calm on Bridge Street, for a community still under construction. Lease the neighborhood before the building opens — without leaning on paid.

What we made. A neighborhood-first content rhythm: creator-led social, local partnerships, engagement competitions, and a live performance dashboard. All organic. Zero paid attribution.

“Studio + Commerce converted nearly 18% of our organic social traffic into leads. Not impressions. Not followers. Actual leasing leads. They are our secret weapon for Gen Z renters.”

03 · How we work

Strategy that produces shoots. Not shoots that need a strategy.

/01

Research and Platform Architecture

Audience research, brand positioning, and a content plan built around your portfolio. Not a generic template.

Frameworks: Renter Insight Map · Channel Architecture · GEO Content Brief

/02

One Production. One Year of Content.

Photo, video, and resident content captured at portfolio scale. Built to feed a full year of distribution.

Frameworks: Shot-list-from-strategy · Resident Casting · Modular Edit System

/03

Programs, Not One-Off Shoots

Assets delivered with channel-specific guidance. Your team knows what to post, where, when, and why.

Frameworks: Posting Plan · Paid Distribution Map · Quarterly Performance Review

04 · Ways to work together

Most agencies sell one shape of engagement. We sell three. Pick the one that fits.

Project / Campaign

For lease-ups, rebrands, and single-property launches

  • One property. One launch window.
  • Production, paid, and social rollout
  • Standalone, or a path into Partnership

Fixed scope. Timeline by project.

Talk through this →

Annual Partnership

Flagship

For portfolios that need a full year of leasing content under one strategy

  • Strategy, production, and distribution
  • One production. A year of output.
  • Quarterly performance reviews

Starts at portfolio scale.

Talk through this →

Consultancy

For in-house teams that own production but need senior creative direction

  • Content strategy and channel architecture
  • Creative direction and brand standards
  • Ongoing advisory, not full production

Retainer. Monthly or quarterly.

05 · The details

How working with us actually works.

The operational questions most agencies bury in an FAQ.

Timelines

Strategy: 3 to 4 weeks. Production: scheduled around your asset, typically 2 to 3 days on-site. First content live in days, not quarters.

Licensing and usage

You own the assets in perpetuity for organic and paid use across owned channels. Talent releases handled by us, start to finish.

Revisions

Two rounds included on every deliverable. Beyond that we quote against scope. We never nickel-and-dime per asset.

Working with your team

Every shoot ships with a posting plan your on-property leasing team can execute. No files-in-a-folder handoffs.

Strategy between shoots

Annual partners get a living strategy document and quarterly reviews. Not a deck-and-walk-away handoff.

Compliance and consent

All Resident-Generated Content includes participant consents and releases. Documented and tracked, start to finish.

Why work with us

Agency-level strategy, applied to multifamily.

Most multifamily marketing is competent vendor work. Almost none of it is strategic. The craft that's standard in fashion, hospitality, and consumer brands is almost entirely absent in housing. Multifamily deserves the same bar. Ross Laurence brings 24+ years across consumer brands and creative agencies to the properties prospects actually choose between.

07 · What we do. What we don't.

Clear on the work that's ours. Honest about the work that isn't.

A studio that does everything does nothing well. Here's the line we draw, and who we hand the rest to.

What we do

+

Lifestyle photography programs

+

Brand films and cinematic property reels

+

Resident-Generated Content, casting to consent

+

Annual social content programs

+

GEO and AI-search content

+

Launch and lease-up campaigns

+

Fractional content direction

What we don't

Architectural renderings

3D visuals for properties not yet built. We know the teams who do this well. Ask for the intro.

Paid media buying

Meta, Google, programmatic. It's a full-time discipline. We work alongside the specialists who live in it.

Logo design and brand identity

We tell the brand story in content. We partner with identity studios when the mark itself needs work.

Property management software

We're not a tech vendor. We make the content the tech distributes.

Frequently asked

The questions we get most.

Asset managers, owners, equity partners, and marketing directors running multifamily, BTR, student, and senior housing portfolios. We work at the portfolio level, around lease-up windows, inside pro-forma realities.

A Discovery Sprint — a fixed-scope, 3-to-4-week strategic read on your assets and audience. It's the lowest-commitment way to see how we'd approach your portfolio before a larger partnership.

We're based in LA with national coverage. Directors, photographers, and producers in every major U.S. market. Need a single photographer in San Marcos or a full team on-site in Baton Rouge? We've got you covered.

Strategy runs 3 to 4 weeks. Production is scheduled around your asset, typically 2 to 3 days on-site, and first content goes live in days, not quarters.

No — paid media buying is a full-time discipline. We work alongside the specialists who live in it, and we build the content that paid distributes.

You own the assets in perpetuity for organic and paid use across owned channels. We handle talent releases start to finish and retain the right to portfolio use.

Yes. We integrate rather than replace. We direct your existing partners or scope production through our products so everything ladders to one brand standard.

It depends on scope and portfolio size. Discovery Sprints are fixed scope; Annual Partnerships start at portfolio scale. Tell us about your assets and we'll come back with a scope within two business days.
