In my experience, marketing directors often choose views themselves or collaborate with architects during onboarding sessions, using the building's sales bullet points as a guide. A standard collection typically includes an aerial view, an entrance view, amenity spaces, the best terrace viewpoints, and, of course, some interior shots of the living room. The quality of CGIs and the budget depend largely on the property's status, the competitive environment, and the ideal customer profile. Some directors may claim that CGI quality doesn't matter, which can make sense if the competitive field is relatively flat. In most cases, the focus shifts to creating a polished brochure or a well-structured landing page while partnering with trusted local brokers.
So, when does CGI quality really matter?
Here are a few scenarios:
- A highly competitive market.
- A challenging project aiming for high margins and fast sales.
- A unique design that serves as a core element of the marketing campaign and makes a statement for the developer.
- An exclusive design that needs to be communicated with maximum clarity.
- A specific customer profile accustomed to high-end, exclusive designs.
Here's how we work and what sets us apart. We recognize budget constraints and understand that a few key views often decide everything. To support marketing directors, our team invests time and architectural expertise to create a diverse collection of white-card visuals, experimenting with various lighting and scenarios. We then provide a detailed breakdown of each view—explaining its lighting, composition, and the specific message it conveys.
Our approach goes beyond execution; we offer strategic insights into how each visual serves the project's broader marketing goals. This ensures that every image not only looks stunning but also works effectively to attract potential buyers and support successful sales.
Every sale often starts with a brochure containing plans, renderings, and essential information, along with the core principles of the project and the key benefits for the buyer. Our team can help you create this brochure. With our architectural background and extensive expertise in visual communication, we will collaborate with you to select the right views and craft a compelling narrative for each one.
Your client's journey matters. If your budget is limited and you’re investing in an initial campaign to spark curiosity about your project in the media—or if you want to differentiate yourself from the competition—let us handle your visual representation.
The ideal canvas of our workflow will look as follows:
- Kickoff Meeting: We begin with a meeting to understand your project's key features and what makes it unique.
- Material Collection: We ensure we’ve received all necessary materials, including models, drawings, and specifications.
- Feature Clarification: We identify the main features to highlight in the initial set of CGIs, essential for launching the campaign (whether for a brochure or a landing page).
- White Card Presentation: We provide a collection of white card visuals and explain the value and design of each view.
- Scenario and Storytelling Selection: We collaborate with you to determine the scenarios and storytelling approach for each visual.
