Verdant · Grand Rapids, MI
MultifamilyLease-upGen Z

Verdant. Talbot Development.

A brand built around calm that reached a 17.93% organic form-fill rate before the community 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.
