The Challenge

The original address for luxury senior living in Dallas is here. Like each unique lifestyle, Edgemere cannot be replicated. Immaculate Tuscan architecture and lush landscapes provide remarkable living, for remarkable people. Residents revel in a luxurious way of life with people like them, people who know personal growth does not have an age limit.

In its heyday, Edgemere was considered to be the primary luxury senior living model in Park Cities of Dallas. Through multiple transition, the pandemic crisis, and a highly publicized financial battle, Edgemere suffered a stain to its impeccable reputation. Point was tasked with elevating a more positive side to its brand recognition.

Our Strategy
Altering Market Perception

After careful analysis of the competitive environment and market perception, a strategic content engagement campaign was orchestrated to blend earned, owned, and paid media designed to tell a different side to the Edgemere story. Understanding that we could not control what media was reporting on legal proceedings, we took a bold position to address the situation head on, leveraging the power of Dallas Morning News to reach the same audience but with a more positive message as told through the prestigious residents of Edgemere.

TELLING THE STORY OF EDGEMERE, PROPELLING NEGATIVE PERCEPTION TO AN UPLIFTING AND POSITIVE ONE THROUGH ITS RESIDENTS, PROVED TO BE KEY IN ALTERING THE PUBLIC'S VIEW OF THE STORIED PROPERTY.

PIVOTING TO A STANCE ON SAFETY AND SECURITY FOR SENIORS GAVE PEACE OF MIND TO ADULT CHILDREN AND RESULTED IN AN INCREASED LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE
Our Strategy
Leveraging Familiarity

Identifying some key influential residents with powerful positions in the Dallas community, we turned their stories into positive assets for Edgemere. Gaining media coverage first in earned placements and then in strategically placed paid opportunities, we created a campaign that showcased the positive aspects of the Edgemere Experience. We engaged a popular and recognizable TV anchor, Jane McGarry of WFAA-ABC, to interview our residents in authentic broadcast videos and then used programmatic digital to push the message out to prospective residents in the surrounding community. We used print editorials in key publications and then versioned them into lead generating digital articles to live in perpetuity and provide valuable backlinks for organic SEO. We also leveraged strategically written blogs to help educate residents and the community on the value of living at Edgemere, answering important questions on the minds of this affluent and influential target audience.
