Real estate chain, Ray White, is hoping to better target homeowners across Australia with a new series of personalised market update videos based on data-driven insights.

The videos have been created by Data Creative for Ray White and are provided via the franchise organisation’s centralised database network to enable agents to create assets on-demand for one or thousands of contacts. This is achieved by integrating price analytics insights from PriceFinder, as well as residential property data from REINZ Data, including market information about a local area including recent sales, suburb statistics and local auction highlights.

The videos are optimised for viewing on mobile devices and have been in pilot phase for three months.

Ray White CEO for growth, Mark McLeod, said a key mission for the business is to provide an information-led customer experience that better fits the way consumers behave today.

“We know the importance of mobility and we are designing these videos to fit inside a new concept within the mobility space labelled ‘micro moments’ in the way people view and digest information on their phones,” he said.

“Real estate is very much a relationship-based industry and the best way to connect with someone is to actually refer to them as an individual. This was very much at the top of our thinking – communicate with people in a warm and informative manner.”

The videos replace Ray White’s existing market update reports, which have been in place for about two years. Franchisees across its 1000 offices nationally now have the choice to take up the video capabilities through the organisation’s One System technology platform.

One sales agent in Balmain, Jack Parry, said interaction with clients is now far more attractive and interesting as the video has information specific to that potential buyer, vendor or homeowner.

“The personalised video is something that’s different and we’re getting great feedback on how it looks,” he said. “The personalised market updates give us a competitive edge over companies and other agencies who are not interested in accepting change, or embracing the evolving technology that’s available.”

The video-based market reports are the first cab off the rank for Ray White in terms of tools the group hopes to launch, all in the name of the customer.

Data Creative CEO, Renece Brewster, said the videos were the natural next step for Ray White, which has been working to build a reputation in the industry for innovation.

“Ray White’s sophisticated platform enabled us to integrate Data Creative across the network and we’re excited to work with them to create one-of-a-kind experiences for customers,” she said.

Marketing prowess versus the enigma of the metaverse

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.

More than money talks in sports sponsorship

As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
