The foundation of the 2016 Sotheby’s International Realty® marketing strategy is content.  The brand is committed to developing and curating content, with a heavy focus on video and delivering it in an omnichannel approach in order to create and maintain global brand recognition and awareness.

"Today's consumers are now using a variety of different platforms in their search for real estate,” said Mr. Retz. “Our exclusive affiliation with Sotheby's International Realty adds an important dimension to our local and regional efforts across these platforms, particularly for international buyers. By creating custom content and video and delivering it through print advertising, emarketing, direct mail, social media, and of course web based marketing, we can be highly effective communicating with prospective clients here and abroad".

“Our 2016 marketing plan was designed with a strategic focus on the consumer, while maintaining our global reach,” said Wendy Purvey, chief marketing officer of Sotheby’s International Realty Affiliates LLC.  “Sotheby’s International Realty is dedicated to providing consumers with what they want, when they want it and where, and we are doing so by providing more content, video, and mobile integration than ever before, increasing our exposure to real estate intenders around the world.”

Sotheby’s International Realty will readily deliver its content through a variety of platforms such as its distinguished media partners, in both print and online, including: The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Architectural Digest, Mansion Global, Dwell, and Elle Décor, as well as the Google Display Network and Apple.  In addition, the brand will share custom content on its newly-redesigned website, sothebysrealty.com, as well as its Extraordinary Living blog and across its rapidly growing social media channels.

The brand also will continue to work with Sotheby’s to produce Art & Home, the literary collaboration launched in 2014, designed to engage readers with sophisticated content related to the art and real estate worlds.  The magazine consists of eight regional editions and has a distribution rate of 250,000 worldwide.
