Coldwell Banker:::Billboard house-hunting

US-based estate agent Coldwell Banker wanted to demonstrate the brand’s investment in innovation and the fact that it welcomes consumers any time, anywhere.

The company has a long track-record of embracing new technologies to sell its wares, and its latest endeavour is no different. The brand has taken over a billboard in Times Square, New York, to showcase some of the houses it has for sale. But there's a twist: the interactive billboard will display homes from requested post codes in real time. Passers by just text the word “homes” and any post code to a number on the billboard and a range of three houses appears in three different price ranges. They also receive a text from Coldwell Banker directing them to a link with more information about the listings.

The campaign also features portraits of the company’s founders, Colbert Coldwell and Benjamin Arthur Banker, who started the company in 1906. The founder portraits offer witty comments about New York and modern-day technology, mirroring the commentary they provide in related TV spots.
