Our target audience perceives luxury as a sense of freedom; being able to choose how to live from moment to moment, eschewing the traditional 9-to-5 working lifestyle."Balasegaram added that marketing to this discerning audience meant the team had to transcend the norms of property marketing and take inspiration from the very best of luxury branding.“Few brands also feature single women as their protagonists. In the property market, women are key decision makers and increasingly buyers themselves. We wanted to break these norms and feature a woman who is empowered to make her own decisions, inextricably linking her qualities with the brand itself,” she said.“We want to engage the emotions and hearts of our customers first, then their minds. The campaign marks the final communications piece in our development of the brand, which also included interior design, event strategy and wayfinding and signage of the International Gallery to put the brand at the very centre piece of the customer experience,” she added.
