Development-specific campaigns, built for every project stage.

Buyer & Investor Audience Targeting

We build Meta, Google, and TikTok audiences from high-net-worth individuals, property investors, and qualified buyers who are actively seeking new-build opportunities — not passive browsers. Your ads reach people with both the means and the intent to act.

Project-Stage Creative

We produce ad creative matched to your project timeline — from vision and renders in the awareness phase through floor plan reveals, private viewing invitations, and EOI campaigns as launch approaches. The message evolves as momentum builds.

TikTok Ads for Pre-Sale Momentum

TikTok drives early-stage project awareness at scale. We produce short-form video campaigns — render reveals, lifestyle previews, investment angle content — that build an engaged prospect audience months before your public launch, so launch day starts with momentum.

Beautiful renders don't sell units. Reaching the right buyers at the right time does.

Most development marketing puts its budget into brochures, agent networks, and launch events — channels that generate awareness among people who are already looking. The problem is that the buyers and investors who move first, securing pre-launch pricing and first-choice units, need to be identified and engaged months before any public launch. That requires active outreach, not passive waiting.

Digital advertising is still treated as an afterthought by most developers — a Facebook page with renders and a generic contact form. Meanwhile, the projects that consistently sell out pre-launch are building systematic paid media pipelines that deliver qualified inquiries on a predictable schedule from month one.

The window that matters

The 60–90 days before your public launch are when pre-sale momentum is built or lost. Campaigns need to be running — and prospects need to be warm — well before that window opens.

  • Start 90+ days before launch
  • Target buyers and investors separately
  • Convert interest before the market opens
We pre-sold 34 units before the slab was poured. Slash built the entire buyer pipeline through targeted Meta campaigns — investors we'd never have reached through our usual channels came in at pre-launch pricing and closed fast. The ROI was unlike anything we'd seen from traditional development marketing.

What working with Slash on a development campaign delivers.

A warm buyer pipeline before launch day

By the time you open registrations, we've already built an engaged list of qualified prospects who've seen your project, explored the floor plans, and are primed to act. You're not starting from zero on launch day — you're converting momentum that's been building for months.

Investor inquiries from outside your network

We use financial framing — yield projections, capital appreciation angles, off-plan pricing advantages — to attract property investors who are actively seeking development opportunities. These are buyers your agent network won't reach.

Predictable cost per qualified inquiry

We track every campaign to the inquiry level — not impressions, not clicks. You know exactly what you're paying per qualified buyer or investor lead, and we optimize toward that number every week throughout your campaign.

What you won't get

  • Generic real estate ad templates
  • Vanity metrics and click reports
  • Campaigns built to look active rather than convert
  • Budget management in place of pre-sale pipeline building

From project brief to signed reservations

Project & Audience Brief

We learn your development — timeline, target buyer profile, investor proposition, location, and pricing. We map the audience segments and establish which platforms will drive the highest-quality inquiries.

Phase Strategy & Creative Plan

We build a phased campaign plan aligned to your project timeline — awareness and interest registration first, then EOI and conversion campaigns as launch approaches. Creative direction, messaging, and offer structure are all defined upfront.

Campaign Launch & Pipeline Build

Meta, Google, and TikTok Ads go live. We run split tests on audiences, creative, and landing pages weekly — optimizing toward cost per qualified inquiry from day one. Retargeting sequences run in parallel to warm your growing prospect list.

Pre-Sale Conversion Push

In the final 30 days before launch, we shift the full campaign toward conversion — urgency creative, private viewing invitations, and off-plan pricing messaging designed to move warm prospects to signed reservations before the public launch opens.

Common questions about development campaigns

How early in the development cycle should we start advertising?

Ideally 90–120 days before your intended launch or EOI opening. This gives us enough runway to build awareness, grow a warm prospect list through retargeting, and ensure that by launch day you have an engaged audience ready to convert — not a cold one. Starting later is still worthwhile, but the pre-launch build period is where the most efficient leads come from.

Can you run campaigns for projects with no planning approval yet?

Yes. At the pre-approval stage, we focus on vision and interest registration rather than hard sales. We run awareness campaigns that drive email sign-ups and "register interest" form completions — building a qualified list that you can convert once approval is secured. Many developers use this phase to validate market demand before committing to full construction.

Do you target buyers, investors, or both?

Both — but with entirely separate campaigns, creative, and messaging. Buyers respond to lifestyle, finishes, and location. Investors respond to yield, capital appreciation, and off-plan pricing advantages. Mixing the two in a single campaign dilutes both. We build parallel pipelines and report on each separately so you know exactly where your inquiries are coming from.

What does a qualified development inquiry look like?

We define a qualified inquiry as someone who has submitted a form with real contact details, indicated budget or intent, and passed our basic qualification criteria — typically financial capacity, genuine purchase or investment intent, and relevant timeline. We do not count clicks, page views, or soft engagements. You see only real prospects who have taken a deliberate action.

How long before we see results?

Most development campaigns generate their first qualified inquiries within 7–14 days of launch. Volume builds as the retargeting audience grows — typically weeks 3–6 are when inquiry flow becomes consistent. The pre-sale conversion push in the final 30 days before launch is usually when the highest-quality, highest-intent leads convert to reservations.
