    The problem

    Graceada Partners is a commercial real estate investment firm managing more than 500 million in assets. When they came to us in April 2020, something had “changed” in the world. You might have heard of it too: It was a pandemic. The problem Graceada Partners had was that they wanted to continue growing and attaining investors amid an uncertain economy.

    The solution

    We developed a PR campaign to position executives in the firm as thought leaders in national commercial real estate and institutional investment outlets, focusing on topics such as office space, retail, and multi-family housing. We focused on institutional investing targets and CRE outlets to speak directly to their audience. To reach a broader media audience and maximize exposure in front of Tier 1 outlets, we simultaneously crafted industry reports on broad commercial real estate and housing topics to create wide exposure for the firm and generate ongoing media interest.
