How a generic url was transformed into a multi-billion dollar brand.
Assignment
When REDC Corporation acquired the url auction.com, Truth was engaged to position and rebrand the world’s largest auctioneer of real estate. Our goal was to reposition the brand as a modern, trusted online real estate platform with the power to change the way real estate is bought and sold.
Truth
Auction.com is a technology company that happens to sell real estate. Given the company’s proprietary auction platform delivering a seamless, secure user-friendly experience, enterprise- level analytics, and integrated marketing campaigns attracting millions of buyers and sellers a month, we positioned Auction.com as the modern-day alternative to buying and selling real estate.
Results
We helped make Auction.com a brand synonymous with innovative real estate transactions. Our work met the client’s objective of wanting to change market perceptions. Auction.com became the nation’s leading online real estate marketplace, and has sold more than $32 billion of property.
Reinventing Residential
Directly targeting home sellers, we positioned Auction.com as another tool to help sell your home. Our home-seller kit and comprehensive advertising support effectively drove traffic to homes.
