When it comes to property marketing - whether commercial or residential - the most crucial element to get right from the outset is the brand. But let’s be clear: a brand is far more than a name or a logo. It’s the visual identity, the tone of voice, the personality it projects, and the emotional connection it builds. It’s the foundation upon which every marketing decision rests.

In a crowded market, where developments often blur into one another, your brand is what sets you apart. And yet, time and again, we see developments fall into the same traps—relying on tired tropes and copy-paste design cues that fail to inspire or differentiate.

At Show + Tell and Next Chapter, we’ve noticed a pattern. Too many property brands are leaning on the same visual crutches:

Logos framed within building silhouettes. Brand names in all uppercase to signal ‘luxury’, white space galore, accented with bronze and gold for that ‘premium’ feel. Or, alternatively, black-and-white palettes with bold pops of colour to feel ‘cool’ and ‘community-led’.

It’s all very rinse and repeat. And while these design choices aren’t inherently wrong, they’re often applied without a clear understanding of who the brand is actually speaking to.

The key to breaking this cycle? Start with your audience. Define your personas before you define your palette.

Let’s take a commercial office building as an example. The same space could appeal to two very different tenant personas - each with distinct needs, values, and expectations.

This persona is looking for prestige. They want a Grade A office that reflects their global stature, with cutting-edge sustainability credentials, smart tech, and concierge-level service. For them, the brand should feel high-end, modern, and architecturally impressive.

This persona values flexibility, inspiration, and community. They’re drawn to design-led spaces that reflect their brand identity, with shared amenities and a location that supports work-life balance. The brand here should feel vibrant, urban, and lifestyle-driven.

Two Personas, Two Creative & Strategic Routes

These personas don’t just influence the visual identity, they shape the entire marketing strategy.

 LinkedIn advertising and thought leadership content from agents, supported by high-end branded items (umbrellas, black car service) and OOH campaigns.

 A sleek, immersive website experience with CG walk-throughs and AI-powered layout visualisation tools.

White-glove tours, executive breakfasts, and a 100-day concierge move-in service to ease the transition and reinforce the premium experience.

 Paid search campaigns targeting active office seekers, supported by downloadable content that highlights community and lifestyle benefits.

 Website content showcasing local amenities, maps, and cultural hotspots. Community events that bring people into the space and foster connection.

 Exclusive tenant perks with local cafés and shops, and guided tours that start at the train station and walk through the daily commute experience.

The lesson here is simple but powerful - your brand must be built with your audience in mind. It’s not about following trends - it’s about creating something meaningful, memorable, and tailored.

Once the brand is defined, it’s time to think beyond the expected. In a market where so many campaigns feel like carbon copies, the opportunity lies in doing things differently. Be bold. Be inventive. Whether it’s a branded car service for executive tours or a walking commute experience for creative SMEs, the tactics you choose should surprise, delight, and connect.

Yes, use the tools at your disposal, LinkedIn, Google Ads, & CRM automation. But use them with purpose. Let your personas guide your creative decisions, and let your brand be the thread that ties it all together.

Because when strategy and creativity work hand in hand, that’s when your property brand doesn’t just stand out, it stands for something.

Beyond the Logo: Crafting Property Brands & Marketing Strategies That Truly Resonate

It’s easy to only look at the here and now when considering SEO – spending hours poring over current rankings and creating new content to target new keywords. But, what’s next in SEO? As more of us invite 

into our homes, the world of search is rapidly changing. Already, in the past 5 years we have seen big changes; Google crawlers have got smarter and content creators have had to get even more creative. 

So, how can we prepare for the future of organic search? Here we try and take a peek into future and explore new the 

Artificial Intelligence – what can robots really do? 

AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is used throughout various marketing disciplines already – and they are only getting smarter. While once it was common to find keyword stuffing, now Google and other search engines can judge your contents relevancy to a search term. There is even content writing software available to help create blog posts, landing pages and all forms of copy. While we can’t comment on the current success of these, we can predict they will get smarter, easier to use and more widespread throughout the SEO community. That’s not to say content writers should be scared. While an AI can analyse data and calculate large formulae simultaneously, creativity is a much harder thing to simulate. Whether human technology will develop enough to allow for this is a question for theoretical physicists – but something to keep our eye on in the future. 

AI is also crucial in crawlers – the ones you are always trying to please. Google crawlers judge your relevancy, as do other search engines, and they are getting smarter everyday with

With more time will come more websites, more domains, and with them more competition.

resonates within the hearts of your users

Voice Search – a little more conversation

. And as these virtual personal assistants get smarter, they move on from just recognising your voice and words to actually understanding them. 

But how do we prepare for a future of voice searches? Our top tip is to pay attention to 

. Think about queries asked on a topic and answer them clearly, like; ‘how do we prepare a website SEO for a future of voice search?’. Formatting is also incredibly useful for highlighting to Google where important content is. Use H1 tags to define the overall content, and then H2 tags to highlight sub-sections focused on your identified long-tail keywords. 

It’s also vital to keep in mind the style of your writing. Try to create a conversational tone as this will appeal to a listener when your copy is read aloud as part of an answer. They are then more likely to feel understood, and remember your site was helpful.   

Great Content – have you checked your references? 

‘Helpful Content’ is valued highly by Google, clearly shown by their multitude of 

. No longer are we advised to stuff keywords in our copy to rank highly, and Google and other search engines can now penalise us for doing this. In our opinion, a great move in the right direction. 

Content should be created for users, not crawlers. If your copywriters are aiming for well-written content which answers the queries your users have, you should find your rankings improving. If not, review each piece of content and make sure each piece has 

and clearly provides answers. Also, be sure to include external links to back-up data and prove the authority of your content – think of it like references for an essay.

What's next in SEO and the future of organic search?

, effective January 19, 2025, due to national security concerns over its Chinese ownership. However, enforcement of this ban has been delayed. On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order postponing the ban’s implementation by 75 days, 

allowing TikTok to continue its operations in the U.S. temporarily 

. This decision has profound implications for marketers, leaving suspense for what’s next.  

Whilst everyone contemplates what the next steps are & whether we should remove TikTok from our marketing strategies, here’s what our marketing experts think & how the US TikTok ban is relevant for UK brands. 

TikTok has been a platform which has drastically changed things for brands aiming to engage younger audiences through creative & authentic content. UK 

, indicating substantial engagement opportunities for brands targeting younger demographics. Approximately 49% of TikTok users have purchased products or services after seeing them promoted on the platform, underscoring TikTok’s effectiveness in driving consumer actions. With the ban in place, marketers will have to 

to maintain connections. Key considerations include: 

: Brands should explore alternative platforms popular among teens, such as Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, & Snapchat. These platforms offer similar short-form video features that can replicate the engaging content styles previously utilised on TikTok.  

: It’s essential to tailor content to fit the unique algorithms & user behaviours of these alternative platforms. What worked on TikTok may not necessarily resonate elsewhere, so understanding each platform’s nuances is crucial. As an example, 

users with 64% using it as their go to search engine. 

: Building direct channels of communication, such as newsletters or dedicated community forums, can help maintain engagement with younger audiences outside of social media platforms. But 

how can brands effectively communicate with younger demographics 

beyond social media? Younger audiences expect brands to speak directly to them, not at them. Personalised email campaigns with tailored recommendations, exclusive content, or birthday rewards can keep Gen Z & Millennials engaged. Think beyond just using a first name – offer curated content based on their past interactions. 

As well as an immediate impact on marketing strategies, t 

he ban is likely to lead to several developments in the marketing world. We asked our social media experts to 

& offer some advice, here’s what they had to say: 

Thoughts from Daniel, Co Founder & Marketing Director – Shift in Ad Spend 

: Marketers will reallocate their budgets to other platforms. According to eMarketer, 

. These funds will now be redirected, potentially benefiting competitors like Meta & YouTube, which could see revenue increases between $15 & $20 billion. 

Thoughts from Aoife, Digital Marketing Executive – Emergence of New Platforms 

: The void left by TikTok may encourage the rise of new social media platforms aiming to capture the teenage audience, offering fresh opportunities for marketers. Already we have seen a rise in activity on Instagram, especially reels which are the closest thing we currently have to TikTok videos. But, with TikTok taking first position for Gen-Z, Instagram will have to work hard to capture this younger audience while retaining their existing loyal users. Does this create a new opportunity for rising social media platform Bluesky to dominate the social media market?  

Thoughts from Jack Olrod, Senior SEO & Content Manager – Drive Innovative Content 

: As brands flock to alternative platforms, the competition for attention will intensify, necessitating more innovative & high-quality content & bold campaigns to stand out. 

Hannah Taylor, SEO Assistant – UK TikTok Ban 

For now, TikTok is not banned in the UK, but that could change if the government begins to see  it as a security risk. 

, & officials are keeping a close eye on how social media companies handle user information. The UK has been tightening 

, & with the EU investigating TikTok under the Digital Services Act, scrutiny is only growing. While no solid proof has emerged that TikTok misuses data, some experts believe a US ban could influence other countries to follow suit – so watch this space. 

Next Chapter, Social Media Marketing for leading B2B Companies  

The TikTok ban in America marks a pivotal shift in 

& digital marketing strategies. Brands must remain agile, 

. By proactively adapting to this change, marketers can mitigate potential disruptions & discover new avenues for connection. 

Want to develop an innovative & results-driven social media strategy that stays ahead of the curve? 

Is the TikTok USA ban still happening? What does this mean for the UK?

The B2B sales and marketing landscape is evolving faster than ever. To stay ahead, businesses must recognise these trends and understand how they are changing the overall picture of B2B. In this article, we will explore 8 key trends that represent the driving forces behind these evolving changes. 

1. Increased Use of AI and Automation:  

You might be bored of hearing about AI, but it is a crucial catalyst driving changes in the B2B landscape. AI has evolved beyond basic functions and can now perform more advanced capabilities – like data analysis and lead generation. This is particularly useful in B2B sales, where identifying decision-makers within complex organisations involving multiple stakeholders has traditionally been challenging. AI can help pinpoint who holds the decision-making power, allowing sales teams to streamline their approach more effectively. 

I and automation tools aren’t necessarily something that’s new in B2B marketing & sales, but it’s definitely something people have become more aware of. We’re finding that the tools available are ones that may have been available for a while, but clients were potentially resistant to adopting them. We’ve found the increased awareness & conversation around AI & how it can increase efficiency in the B2B space has massively helped get those resistant clients on board 

Automation is also transforming how sales and marketing teams operate. Tools that handle repetitive tasks, like sending follow-up emails or tracking customer interactions in the CRM, are freeing up time for salespeople and marketers to focus on more valuable activities like developing client relationships through personal interactions. This shift of professionals being on calls, in face-to-face meetings, and generally engaging with clients can significantly enhance sales outcomes. 

Generative AI, with its ability to assist in everything from content creation to complex problem-solving, is a major part of this evolution. However, full adoption of generative AI is still in its infancy. According to McKinsey, 

While the widespread implementation may still be in its infancy, the potential is enormous. McKinsey estimates that 

. This forecast represents the transformative impact AI could have in the near future, allowing companies to optimise both back-office tasks and front-line sales efforts, helping to boost productivity and growth. 

With the abundance of customer data now available, data-driven decisions are crucial for B2B success. First-party data has emerged as a critical asset for B2B organisations. This data – collected directly from customers through interactions, transactions, and engagements – gives businesses a reliable foundation for understanding their audience. Unlike third-party data, which often relies on assumptions and broad generalisations, first-party data is accurate, relevant, and specific to the business’s unique customer base. 

An up-to-date customer relationship management (CRM) system ensures that sales and marketing teams can access this current and actionable data. AI can help with this by analysing large datasets quickly and uncovering insights to inform segmentation strategies and campaign optimisations. For example, 

utilises machine learning algorithms to evaluate historical customer interactions and behaviours. By analysing data points, the tool generates scores for leads based on their likelihood to convert. 

First party data is the foundation of successful B2B marketing & sales, & the same for B2C. The common challenge is that businesses have a vast amount of first party data, but don’t know how to make it work for them, or what areas of the data to utilise & in what way. Once you’ve figured that out, the rest should flow naturally 

” – Daniel Swepson, Marketing Director at Next Chapter.  

Ultimately, prioritising first-party data strengthens relationships and fosters trust. Customers who feel that a brand understands their needs and preferences are more likely to engage and remain loyal. By investing in robust data collection and management practices, B2B organisations can unlock the full potential of their customer insights in an increasingly competitive landscape. 

In today’s B2B landscape, personalisation at scale is no longer seen as a luxury. Businesses are prioritising personalised marketing strategies to tailor their messaging, content, and offers to meet each customer’s specific needs and preferences. This approach, driven by advanced data insights, is becoming a significant differentiator for brands looking to stand out. In fact, 

– a trend that holds true in B2B as much as B2C. 

Personalisation in B2B marketing is critical because the buying process is often complex and involves multiple decision-makers. Customising communication for each stakeholder can significantly influence their choices, making it essential for businesses to ensure that their content feels relevant and timely at every touchpoint. This means tailoring everything from emails to landing pages, ensuring that each interaction aligns with the recipient’s specific relationship with the brand. For example, a first-time visitor to your website will benefit from a different experience than someone who has visited multiple times, while chatbot interactions can become more personalised over time by greeting users by name or offering tailored solutions based on their past interactions. 

AI plays a significant role in scaling this level of personalisation across multiple channels. By leveraging first-party data, companies can create dynamic experiences that adjust in real-time to individual users.  

Closely linked to personalisation, account-based marketing (ABM) is quickly becoming a fundamental aspect of B2B sales and marketing. Unlike traditional approaches that cast a wide net across broad audience segments, ABM instead focuses on targeting individual high-value accounts with personalised marketing efforts. This method allows businesses to tailor their messaging to resonate specifically with key decision-makers and stakeholders within each account, leading to more meaningful and impactful engagement. 

The success of ABM lies in its ability to align sales and marketing teams around a common goal – nurturing and closing deals with specific, high-potential clients. By combining insights from both teams, businesses can craft campaigns that address each target account’s unique pain points and needs. Research supports its effectiveness: 

The power of aligning sales & marketing can’t be underestimated. It’s a key challenge businesses face & is the number one reason why marketing isn’t able to deliver what sales need. ABM campaigns are the ideal approach to bringing those two teams together, marketing brings ideas & creativity, & sales bring the insights & inside knowledge essential to an approach & campaign that resonates & delivers 

” – Daniel Swepson, Marketing Director at Next Chapter. 

One key enabler of ABM’s success is its synergy with AI tools, which allow for a deeper level of customisation and scalability. However, the real power of ABM is unlocked when sales and marketing teams work in close collaboration. Working in tandem is essential because marketing teams generate valuable insights into each account’s behaviour and engagement. These insights reveal how potential clients are responding to campaigns, what topics resonate with them, and where they are in the buyer’s journey. Armed with this information, the sales team can then focus their efforts and make touchpoints highly relevant to each high-value customer. Through more direct interaction with clients, the sales team can also gather information about specific pain points or the decision-making process within the organisation. When both teams share their insights and align on strategy, this feedback loop enhances the effectiveness of ABM. 

Content marketing remains at the heart of B2B strategies, but the formats are evolving rapidly. 

underpinning the importance of effective content strategies in this space.  

Customers increasingly expect multimedia content tailored to their needs. Many professionals are involved in the decision-making process of B2B sales, all of them having different preferences and learning styles. While some may prefer reading detailed reports, others may find videos more engaging. Having diverse content appeals to a wider audience of professionals. 

Also, since B2B professionals often lead busy lives, consuming lengthy articles can be challenging. Multimedia formats offer the convenience and flexibility needed for busy decision-makers, enabling them to engage with content during commutes or while multitasking. As well as this, multimedia has the capacity to improve SEO rankings by enhancing user engagement and providing additional opportunities for ranking for photos or videos – creating another way for potential customers to find your brand organically.  

By offering diverse formats of information, companies can better meet the expectations of B2B customers and position themselves as trusted authorities in their field.  

In today’s hyper-connected world, B2B buyers also seek to engage with individuals, not just companies. As a result, personal branding is becoming increasingly important for sales professionals and high-level executives looking to build credibility and trust within their industry.  

People buy from people at the end of the day, & a member of the team reiterating or pushing a brand message, or sharing their knowledge & insights will always carry so much more weight than it coming from a business only 

For senior leaders, positioning themselves as thought leaders is crucial. According to LinkedIn, 

By sharing valuable insights, industry trends, and expert opinions, they not only enhance their personal brand but also elevate their company’s reputation. This approach fosters more profound connections with potential clients and partners, as buyers are more likely to engage with individuals who demonstrate knowledge and authority in their field. 

As personal branding gains prominence, companies should encourage their leaders to share their experiences and insights across various platforms, from LinkedIn articles to podcasts. Ultimately, a strong personal brand combined with thought leadership can help B2B professionals navigate the complexities of today’s marketplace and establish lasting relationships with clients – especially when trying to differentiate in crowded markets.  

The shift to remote work has significantly impacted B2B sales strategies, prompting many companies to adopt hybrid models that combine in-person and virtual selling approaches. The pandemic accelerated the move towards remote selling, which now appears to be a lasting trend. While remote sales offer flexibility, relying solely on virtual interactions can increase the risk of losing customers. 

are typically conducted virtually, allowing sales representatives to reach a wider audience efficiently. However, as potential customers move closer to making a decision, in-person interactions become increasingly vital. Concentrating in-person time at the bottom of the sales funnel – when customers are nearing conversion – can enhance the likelihood of closing deals. This approach allows sales professionals to build stronger relationships and address final concerns, ultimately increasing conversion rates. 

To navigate these dynamics successfully, businesses must equip their sales teams with the tools and training to thrive in a hybrid environment. This includes leveraging technology for virtual meetings while ensuring sales professionals are prepared to engage effectively when transitioning to in-person discussions. By striking the right balance between virtual and in-person interactions, companies can optimise their sales strategies and meet the evolving preferences of B2B buyers. 

8. Increased Use of Multichannel Marketing 

Another significant trend is the integration of multichannel marketing strategies. Potential customers now engage with brands across various platforms. Therefore, to effectively reach and nurture leads, businesses must ensure a clear brand message and presence across various channels. Multichannel marketing fosters greater engagement by meeting customers where they are, allowing for a smoother customer journey. 

Additionally, by leveraging a multichannel approach, brands have access to a more holistic view of customer interactions, allowing more insights to be gathered about what channels are generating leads and what segments of the brand’s audience are on what platforms. This comprehensive understanding not only enhances targeting but also facilitates better measurement of campaign effectiveness. It also allows for more effective cross-channel strategies. For example, insights from social media interactions can inform email campaigns.  

In an ever-changing B2B landscape, embracing these trends sets the stage for long-term success. Adapting to these shifts not only drives growth but also fosters stronger connections with clients. Companies that harness these emerging trends can stay competitive and meet the evolving demands of their markets.

8 Trends Shaping the Future of B2B Sales & Marketing

If you’ve ever worked in marketing, you’ve probably come across the term ‘marketing funnel’ when talking about customers. But while it may be the most well-known, is it the only or even the best option? 

In this article we explore two popular paradigms: the marketing funnel and the marketing flywheel. These diagrams serve as navigation for marketing strategies, to help comprehend and optimise the intricate journeys our customers undertake. We delve into what these two concepts are and share the reasons why the Next Chapter team favours the flywheel over the funnel. 

Why marketers use the marketing funnel & flywheel in their strategies 

As a marketer, I’m sure you’ve encountered your fair share of marketing diagrams that visually represent customer journeys. It often feels like everyone has that one ‘go-to’ customer acquisition diagram they eagerly share with their teams when 

. These visual representations are more than just illustrations; they’re invaluable guides for marketers seeking to understand and enhance the customer journey. 

– Trying to explain a proposed customer journey to different stakeholders can be difficult, so having a diagram to refer to can help others understand your strategy and buy-in. 

– allows to visually show the different segments for tailored messaging and more effective targeting of specific customer groups. 

By visualising the marketing funnel, businesses can easily track and analyse where potential customers drop off in the conversion process, enabling data-driven improvements to boost conversion rates. 

, making it easier to identify and capitalise on opportunities at various stages of the diagram. 

– Diagrams help to map the entire customer journey, making it easier to anticipate customer needs and align marketing strategies accordingly. 

– Assist in allocating budgets more efficiently, ensuring that the right the right investment is directed to different stages of the customer journey. 

– Better alignment between sales and marketing by providing a shared framework that enables both departments to understand and contribute to the customer’s journey. 

as an integral part of the marketing strategy, leading to increased customer loyalty and repeat business.   

– This visual reference helps for identifying inefficiencies in the marketing process, facilitating continuous improvement and optimisation of marketing strategies. 

The beloved marketing funnel. This classic diagram is a well-known representation of the customer journey. It outlines the conversion path from initial awareness to the ultimate goal of a conversion. It takes us through the stages of discovery, consideration, and conversion. But does it capture the full story?  

This diagram was set in place to describe your customers’ journey and map out the conversion routes. This starts from what influenced your customer to find you, to their purchasing pattern. 

Each line and arrow on these diagrams represent a vital aspect of the approach to winning and keeping customers. 

What happens after the purchase stage? You tell me. This diagram does not accurately represent the true marketing journey to customer acquisition. Before you set up your targeted social ads, you will often create audiences that reflect and represent your previous customers, and what the common characteristics are. You only know that information from mapping out the steps from the marketing funnel, so where does the funnel represent your audience targeting?  

Utilising a marketing funnel can enhance the efficiency of achieving your goals. This tool empowers you to design customised campaigns, enhancing customer acquisition and retention, elevating conversion rates, and ultimately leading to increased efficiency. Harnessing the valuable insights derived from data on your target audience allows you to construct a funnel that drives sales. 

This is where the marketing flywheel comes in. The marketing flywheel takes into account that customer acquisition is an ongoing process, like a wheel. This is 

which presents a fresh perspective.    

Through meticulous analysis, a marketing funnel empowers your organisation with the insights needed to strategically engage consumers at various stages. By evaluating your marketing funnel, you can have the potential to boost sales, cultivate customer loyalty, and enhance brand recognition. 

However, the marketing funnel can often demonstrate the idea that once you win the client/customer then that’s end game, when in fact, this is where your re-marketing strategy should come in. Re-marketing builds a loyal client and customer base, and in the long run is better for your marketing strategies and easier to maintain, so essentially, this should be the more important part of the diagram. With the flywheel, you don’t ever forget about the about a particular audience or segment. 

As Daniel Swepson, Head of Marketing at Next Chapter, puts it, “It illustrates how your company’s focus on delivering a remarkable customer experience can create a self-sustaining cycle of growth. This model embodies the idea that satisfied customers can be a continuous source of energy driving your business forward”. 

Other models think of customers as an outcome — nothing more, nothing less. All the energy you spend acquiring that customer is wasted, leaving you at square one. 

Why we adopt the marketing flywheel in our marketing strategies at Next Chapter and what you need to build a successful flywheel 

recognising its potential to foster sustained growth. To build a successful flywheel, you need to prioritise customer experience, align your entire organisation, and focus on retaining and delighting customers. This approach ensures that your marketing efforts aren’t wasted but contribute to the ongoing success of your business. To us, returning customers and users are as integral to a successful strategy as new ones.
