Case Study #6

BACKGROUND

DAMAC Properties, a leading luxury real estate developer in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), experienced a surge in revenue, reaching an impressive $2 billion in a single year during the country's property boom. To capitalize on this growth and expand into new territories, DAMAC partnered with United International Group and contracted The Word Astronaut, led by Joshua Todd, to provide essential marketing communication services in Abu Dhabi's Al Reem Island and Dubai Downtown.

THE GOAL

The primary objective was to support DAMAC's expansion efforts by crafting compelling printed and digital content that would establish the company's presence in new areas, particularly Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi and Dubai Downtown. Joshua Todd and his team at The Word Astronaut aimed to work closely with government officials and stakeholders to create engaging marketing materials, including websites, future property books, and ROI analyses, to effectively market DAMAC's properties and attract potential investors and customers.

This collaboration ensured that the content created was not only compelling but also compliant with the specific requirements of each area.

  2. Developing Engaging Printed and Digital Content: The Word Astronaut crafted a wide range of marketing materials, including visually appealing websites, informative future property books, and persuasive ROI analyses.

  3. Establishing Presence in New Territories: Joshua and his team focused on creating targeted content that would help DAMAC establish a strong presence in the new Al Reem Island area of Abu Dhabi and Dubai Downtown. They leveraged their expertise in marketing communication to develop materials that resonated with the local audience, showcasing the benefits and lifestyle advantages of DAMAC's properties in these sought-after locations.

  4. Creating Customer Success Storefronts and Branding: In addition to the digital and printed content, Joshua took a hands-on approach to create physical storefronts for customer success and branding purposes. These storefronts served as a tangible representation of DAMAC's commitment to customer satisfaction and helped to build brand awareness and loyalty among shareholders and customers, even as construction on the properties was ongoing.
