The brief
The challenge
Real estate feeds often become a wall of listings. The team needed content that sells the lifestyle of each community and shows Shannon's personality, while still moving listings.
With a large team and many areas, the content had to build one recognisable brand while giving each agent and each community room to shine.
Our approach
How we planned it
Four decisions shaped the work for The Gillette Group. Each one answers part of the brief.
-
01
Personality-led video
Shannon on camera: market updates, buyer tips and honest takes that make the brand feel human.
-
02
Community guides
Short tours of Queen Creek and nearby towns: parks, schools, coffee spots and new builds.
-
03
Listings with a story
Listing Reels built around one standout feature, not a slideshow of every room.
-
04
Social to site
Posts link to valuations, guides and the home search app, with community pages that help the site rank locally.
The content system
A week from the content calendar
Every post belongs to a pillar, every pillar has a job, and the week is planned before anything is filmed. This is a sample planning week for The Gillette Group.

Website and search
Social that leads somewhere
Every post sends people to gillettegroupaz.com, so the site and the feed are planned together: the same offers, the same answers and pages that search engines and AI assistants can read.

What this project teaches
- 1
People buy into a community before they buy a house. Lifestyle content does the early selling.
- 2
One standout feature per listing Reel beats a full room-by-room tour.
- 3
A personal, on-camera leader makes a large team feel approachable.
