CREEKSIDE PARK CASE STUDYCreekside Park, the newest village in The Woodlands, embodies the “natural” spirit of the community. Bordering the 1,700-acre George Mitchell Nature Preserve, it has unprecedented access to nature and outdoor activities like camping, canoeing, fishing and hiking.

In order to celebrate the dawn of the 3,500-acre village The Woodlands Development Company planned a Grand Opening Event for October 20, 2007. John Manlove Marketing & Communications developed a multi-platform marketing and PR campaign themed “Life’s Next Great Adventure”. It featured advertising across all media, as well as collateral materials that reflected the theme.

JMMC has handled our residential advertising for the past several years. They have done a fabulous job of creating award-winning campaigns for us, and are a pleasure to work with. The team at Manlove provides creativity, technical expertise, incredible organization and attention to detail and personal service - a winning combination in today business world.

PROPOSED BRAND EXTENSIONBy utilizing existing branding concepts and evolving the “Find Balance” theme our goal is to create top-of-mind awareness for Bridgeland in the Houston metropolitan area. With compelling images, intriguing headlines and copy, and a sound media mix we intend to generate increased web traffic to Bridgeland.com and foot traffic to the community and model home park.

Newspaper ads have been developed for the purpose of this presentation.Stock photography has been used to effectively illustrate concepts.

CONCEPT 1MOVING HERE IS JUST THE BEGINNINGThrough a series of point-of-view images we communicate what Bridgeland has to offer through the eyes of the perspective buyer. Each of the photographs requires some sort of balance whether it be canoeing or bike riding. These images, along with supporting copy, will lead the reader to the conclusion that Bridgeland offers balance in every aspect of life.

CONCEPT 2WHO NEEDS YOGA?Yoga, meditation, and exercise are all examples of activities that help one find balance in life. This series of fun and compelling ads portrays these activities in natural settings to humorously and gently communicate how Bridgeland can accomplish the same goal.

CONCEPT 4RETURN YOUR MESSAGES LATERThis campaign directly responds to the need for balance between career and family… work and friends. The headlines address business while photos represent personal relationships. The connection between the two inspires the reader to strike the right balance in Bridgeland.

CONCEPT 5TWEETS DON’T JUST COME FROM YOUR PHONEThis series addresses the fact that technology has, in many ways, created a loss of balance in our lives. These ads utilize headlines that are typically associated with technology and social networking to relate to nature and LIVE interaction.

Another aspect of these ads relates to sustainability. There are sidebar elements that describe Bridgeland’s goals to work responsibly with the environment.

MEDIA STRATEGYThe preliminary plan below represents an integrated approach designed to effectively reach Bridgeland’s target audience in the Greater Houston metropolitan area in 2010. More than ever, a fragmented media landscape requires a customized approach. By analyzing client needs and objectives, and researching demographic and sociographic customer profiles, we develop a strategy of combined media platforms that will ensure positive results.

Increased media activity in April and August are intended to support two large sales events/promotions in addition to overall branding. Most media activity focuses on the prime home-buying seasons of Spring and Summer.
