NW PDX
C.E. John’s properties fall within a 10-block radius at the north end of Northwest Portland. Attuned to the difference a few blocks’ walk can make, we set out to highlight the distinct, quiet, cozy vibe that contrasts its bustling counterpart to the south.
Our mission was to inspire a love for the neighborhood. Only after we touted the tree-lined streets, cafes, and walkability would we introduce the buildings and the company who developed them.
This type of subtle, long-term strategy is what C.E. John (and Green Rising) stands for.
Award Winner:
2014 American Marketing Association MAX Award for “PR Operation Success!”
Branding
We created a unified NW PDX brand to support the marketing efforts for each individual building. Our community outreach strategy included the following:
1. Scout Books
This guide will lead you to the best bites, brews, shopping, and recreation. Whenever possible, we highlighted the location. location. location.
2. Photography
Photos of walkable, tree-lined streets, quaint cafes, and eclectic shops show off the vibrant lifestyle.
3. Leasing Package
A flexible, interchangeable leasing collateral system will serve C.E. John for years to come.
4. Perfect Day Contest
We held a contest, sprinkling posters, postcards, and scratch-offs in the area to get people thinking of what NW PDX has to offer.
