Description
CHALLENGE: Dubai Properties needed to raise awareness of their flagship property 1JBR and cement their status as a developer of luxury properties in Dubai. In a market where EMAAR and DAMAC dominate, Dubai Properties needed to cut through the normal dry, bland real estate advertisements and make a noise that couldn’t be ignored. It’s important to note that this ad was not about driving sales but driving awareness of the building and positioning Dubai Properties as a high-end developer.
INSIGHT: The truly affluent don’t like flashy displays of wealth, they prefer quiet understatement. Of course, this outlook on life goes against everything that Dubai stands for and is known for.
SOLUTION: To position 1JBR as a haven from the flash, gaudy, ostentatious world that most people in Dubai love. Because 1JBR is none of these things, it won’t appeal to the wanna-be try-hards who believe that gold taps and diamond chandeliers are the only way to prove wealth and status. So the strategy became less about focusing on mass attraction, and more about focusing on a slightly subversive selection strategy. Because 1JBR really isn’t for everyone.
