RSIR - Forecast Report Campaign

The Forecast Report Campaign was a full-scale strategic initiative developed to equip Realogics Sotheby's International Realty brokers with the tools, content, and confidence to lead client conversations during a period of significant market uncertainty.

As Creative Brand Manager, I led the creative direction and execution of a multi-channel campaign spanning a printed publication, a podcast launch, a four-part educational series, a digital asset suite, and a broker-facing toolkit — all designed to drive adoption across a 300+ broker organization and reinforce the firm's position as the most informed voice in the Pacific Northwest real estate market.

The Challenge

In an unpredictable market, brokers needed more than data — they needed tools that made it easy to initiate confident, informed conversations with clients. The challenge was threefold: developing a compelling publication worthy of the Sotheby's brand, launching entirely new content formats (a podcast and an educational series) without an existing playbook, and driving meaningful adoption across a large, distributed broker network where new tools often go unused.

Every channel had to feel cohesive — part of one campaign, not a collection of disconnected assets — while remaining practical enough for busy agents to actually pick up and use.

Strategy & Rollout

Forecast Report Publication

The Forecast Report itself was the campaign's anchor — a printed and digital publication presenting Pacific Northwest market data, trend analysis, and forward-looking perspective in a format brokers could hand directly to clients. The design balanced editorial credibility with the visual polish expected of the Sotheby's brand, with data visualizations, typographic hierarchy, and layout decisions all working together to make complex market information feel accessible and authoritative.

The Strategy

The campaign was built around a digital-first, broker-enabled model. Rather than producing assets for brokers to distribute passively, the system was designed to put tools directly in their hands — customizable, deployable, and simple enough to use without additional training or design support.

Launching a podcast and an educational series simultaneously with the print publication required a unified brand system that could hold together across very different media. Every format — from a printed page to a podcast tile to a presentation slide — drew from the same visual and tonal foundation, ensuring the campaign read as one cohesive initiative regardless of where a broker or client encountered it.

Podcast Launch

The Forecast Report podcast extended the campaign into an on-demand audio format, giving brokers and clients a way to engage with market insight beyond the printed publication. The launch required full brand development for the podcast itself — cover art, episode tile design, audiogram graphics, and platform presence across Spotify and Apple Podcasts — as well as a supporting suite of social and email assets to promote each new episode.

Educational Series

The four-part educational series gave brokers a structured, session-by-session framework for understanding and applying the Forecast Report's findings with clients. Each session was developed with its own visual identity within the shared design system — cover design, presentation deck, and supporting materials — ensuring the series felt purposeful and cohesive rather than improvised.

The shared design system across all four decks meant the series could be facilitated by different presenters while still reading as a single, professionally produced program.

Digital & Social Campaign

The digital campaign extended the Forecast Report across every channel brokers used daily — social posts, digital ads, email headers, and a campaign landing page that served as the central hub for the full asset suite. Assets were developed in multiple formats and sizes, covering both organic social and paid placements, and were designed to be deployed quickly without requiring broker-level design skill.

Broker Toolkit & Rollout

The broker toolkit translated the full campaign into a practical, self-service system — giving agents the assets, instructions, and customizable templates they needed to engage clients confidently without relying on the marketing team for every deployment. The rollout program included educational materials that walked brokers through how to use each component, reducing friction and driving adoption across the organization.

Led creative direction and campaign development, aligning digital strategy, content systems, and broker-facing tools to drive adoption and engagement.

The Solution

The Forecast Report Campaign became the division's standard market education framework — a fully integrated system spanning print, audio, education, digital, and broker tools that gave RSIR brokers a credible, consistent way to lead market conversations at every client touchpoint.

Supporting 300+ brokers across a firm generating more than $1.9B in annual sales, the campaign demonstrated what happens when creative strategy, content development, and operational reality are designed together from the start — and set a new standard for how the brokerage approached market communication going forward.
