About & our approach

Native Residential Group is one of the fastest-growing build-to-rent operators in the UK.  They came to Embryo in April 2022 looking to invest in a  PPC campaign for one of their properties. Our work and success quickly led to them investing in Embryo running multiple channels to market their property portfolio.

To achieve Native’s objectives we needed to target two audiences:

  • Those looking for apartments to drive bookings and leases
  • Those in the cities where Native properties are located to drive awareness

By focusing on these two audiences we could target users at multiple stages of the buyer journey. This is why we chose a multi-channel (paid and organic) strategy to drive results.

PPC

By focusing our search campaigns around the USPs of Native properties and keywords about these and the location of the buildings we were able to target users with higher intent and drive the results Native were looking for.

  • 4,466 Viewings booked
  • £25 cost per lead
  • 23,173,037 impressions
  • 9.7% CTR
  • 2.2% Conversion rate

Paid Social

Our team used Meta to drive users at all stages of the buying journey, focusing on building awareness, driving engagement and ultimately conversions.

Navigating around Meta restrictions we used a broad targeting approach paired with the right creative and highlighting property USPs for the relevant users.
