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.
