05 · Launch & Lease-Up

A launch plan that ties content, paid, and leasing to one occupancy curve.

An integrated lease-up campaign for multifamily and student housing — content, paid distribution, on-site marketing, and reporting, all built around the curve your asset manager actually cares about.

9–12 mo

From pre-leasing through stabilization

One integrated campaign with one owner — content, paid distribution, on-site activation, and reporting moving on the same calendar, against the same occupancy target.

Why it matters

Lease-up is the most expensive moment in a property's life. It's also the least integrated.

Pre-leasing, opening, and stabilization usually involve a brand agency, a paid media shop, a property management team, and an ownership group — all measuring different things on different timelines. The result is content that doesn't run, paid that doesn't land, and a curve that slips a quarter to the right.

A lease-up campaign is one integrated plan with one owner. Content, distribution, on-site activation, and reporting moving on the same calendar, against the same occupancy target.
