Marketing Plan & Investment
Burleigh Heads
An 18-month plan, stage by stage · Prepared by LOVR · June 2026
The approach

Off-plan is not won on a single launch. It is won by building atmosphere early.

Eight stages, eight pillars, anchored to the project's real milestones. Each pillar runs the full length of the plan, with intensity rising and falling against the stage we are in. The work layers credibility through the design and construction arc, then converges every channel at the moments that matter most.

The first anchorDA lodge, early June. Moves the project from internal to public. Trade press, microsite expansion, the first paid activation, sales-collateral scoping.
The keystoneDA approval, September. The off-market launch fires, the full asset stack goes live, and the most commercially consequential window of the calendar opens.
Pillar 01Content and social

The audience knows what kind of project ARLO is before there is a render or a price.

Lifestyle content and a considered editorial cadence are the slow build. Reels, carousels, written editorial moments, and a posting rhythm that treats the audience like grown-ups. This shapes the buyer profile before the product is ever shown. Done well, by the time we are ready to sell, the right buyers feel like they found us, and the wrong ones never raise their hand. Sellout starts here, six to twelve months before any contract is signed.

Pillar 02Performance marketing and targeting

Paid media is precision, not volume.

The right content in front of the right cohort at the right moment, scaling against the audience profile built across the organic phase. Meta is the workhorse, with extensions into trade and lifestyle publishers as the calendar reaches its sales-active phases. Performance marketing closes the gap between reach and qualified intent, and it is where the cost per qualified enquiry becomes legible, the input for every pricing and pacing decision later in the plan.

Pillar 03CRM and data

Every signal counts, and nothing is lost between first interest and contract.

EOIs, brochure downloads, IM requests, ad responses, agent referrals, repeat site visits, all enter the same pipeline and get scored by intent. Nurture sequences fire automatically, sales hand-offs are warm. Built quietly across the early stages and activated hard at DA approval, because the off-market phase is where the project's most profitable contracts are written, and they are written with buyers who have been nurtured for months.

Pillar 04Visual assets, renders and brand

For an off-plan project, the renders are the product.

They carry across every other pillar, the website, the IM, the brochure, the ad creative, the hoarding, the trade press. The single highest-impact investment in the calendar, and the longest to produce, which is why the brief lands first and production starts before almost anything else. Brand identity sits alongside, the typographic and tonal world ARLO lives in, signalling the buyer cohort and setting the aesthetic standard for every downstream collateral.

Pillar 05Website and digital

The always-open showroom, in three states.

State one · MicrositeA small, intriguing front door designed to capture intent without giving away the brief. Live first.
State two · Expanded siteLands once DA-approved imagery is in hand: renders, brochure download, IM access, a buyer-toolkit feel for the gated pages.
State three · Public listingsAt on-market launch the existing site opens to the public, with pricing and listings added where appropriate. The gate that converts attention into the database.
Pillar 06Sales collateral, brochure and IM

The final-mile assets that turn curiosity into a meeting, and a meeting into a contract.

The interactive Information Memorandum is the long-form, design-led document that goes to off-market buyers and qualified channels, built end to end by LOVR. A thirty to fifty page artifact that earns its weight when handed across. The brochure is the lighter, more agent-distributable cousin, print and digital, walk-in collateral and buyer kits, scaling the IM's story across the on-market agent panel without diluting the high-craft register.

Pillar 07Brand partnerships

Buyers at this tier do not buy from developers. They buy into a creative ecosystem.

Architecture, interior design, landscape and visual-production partners lend credibility through association. Their audiences become our audiences, their authority underwrites ours. byCulprit is confirmed for architecture and interior design, the landscape architect is in confirmation, and the render partner is briefed against a multi-batch production scope. The partner roster is what makes the ecosystem visible.

Pillar 08Physical presence, hoarding and signage

The site itself is media surface.

The fifty-metre frontage acts as billboard, photo opportunity, content moment and passive lead capture. The signage is staged against the project's phases: pre-DA holding presence, the DA-approved phase, the now-selling phase, completion. It speaks daily to its neighbourhood and to every car and pedestrian that passes, adding tens of thousands of impressions over the project's lifetime at near-zero marginal cost, and it captures the local cohort who matter disproportionately at off-market.

How we run it

Two cadences, booked end to end, so nobody has to chase the rhythm.

Monthly client reviewA scheduled meeting each month: previous month delivered, current objectives, channel performance, decisions queued, risk register. The formal moment direction is set and signed off.
Fortnightly internal cadenceLOVR's own working rhythm against the plan: pipeline review, asset production status, content look-ahead, performance read, partner-channel status. The engine that keeps every stage on track.
The investment

Every dollar is measured against the result it drives.

The investment is grounded in the value of ARLO, the agent commissions it works against, and the holding cost of every month a project sits unsold. Read against those numbers, a considered marketing investment is proportionate to the result, and the real cost is the opportunity lost by underbuilding the launch.

How the investment is allocated

One investment, working across the whole plan.

Roughly $600k across the life of ARLO, inclusive of everything delivered so far, allocated across the work that builds the audience and converts it.

What is built, and what is left

The brand and the website are built and paid. Here is what is left to build.

Already in place, paid in full: the ARLO brand, the website, the brochure and the EOI form. Kept current at no new charge as the project moves, including dropping the approved renders in when they land.

Interactive IMThe thirty to fifty page off-market centrepiece, the document handed to qualified buyers
$12k – $18k
CRM and off-market sales engineThe lead database, registration portal, automated nurture and agent referral that drive and capture every enquiry
$15k – $30k
Render rollout across every channelTaking the renders into the site, IM, brochure, ads and hoarding so every one earns its keep
$4k – $8k
On-market listings layerPublic listings and pricing added to the existing site at launch
$6k – $10k

One-off builds, spread across the year and timed to the work each supports. Every one sits inside the inclusive investment, not on top of it. Ranges firm against the LOVR Capabilities pricing.

The renders

The renders are the product.

They carry every other pillar, the website, the IM, the brochure, the ad creative, the hoarding. The work is making sure every one earns its keep across every channel, rather than sitting in a folder.

Earned media

One earned-media moment, per stage.
