Preston Hollow Village is a multi-phase mixed-use development that partnered with Criterion.B to bring awareness to their Phase 1 lifestyle retailers. At the corner of Walnut Hill and 75, the mixed-use development enjoys excellent drive-by visibility, but needed to differentiate itself from surrounding retail centers in the Dallas area.
Success for Preston Hollow Village was defined by raising awareness about the new retailers featured at the development. Criterion.B outlined a grassroots strategy for Preston Hollow Village aimed at sparking interest and driving engagement through social media. To separate the community from surrounding retail competitors, Criterion.B established a distinct visual style, which branded Preston Hollow Village as colorful, vibrant, and dynamic.
Our strategy of consistent social media presence, paired with very visual brand elements emphasizing a sense of community, was used to drive social media visitation and build brand awareness. Strategy-driven social advertising campaigns were implemented to spread reach and spark media interest. From retail-driven lifestyle topics, the Preston Hollow Village blog boast fresh content every month. With directed social media campaigns, a targeted advertising strategy, and influencer outreach, Criterion.B leveraged digital platforms to delight and attract a strong audience.
While the moments around Preston Hollow Village seem priceless, Criterion.B took on the task to capture the vibrancy and excitement of each retailer. From the buzzing lunch crowds and mouth-watering dishes to the high energy workouts, we made sure to seize the moment of the Preston Hollow Villagers through the lens of a Nikon D7200.
In order to spark engagement among customers and retailers, Criterion.B launched the ‘Mark the Moment’ campaign to generate positive word-of-mouth and drive engagement. The campaign encouraged patrons to share their moments with #MarkTheMoment at any of the Preston Hollow Village retailers. Whether they’re enjoying a seasonal pizza, showing off a new haircut, or finishing up a great workout, we wanted to collect the moments being made.
While managing Preston Hollow Village's digital presence, Criterion.B increased Preston Hollow Village’s social media following significantly, driving a large amount of traffic to the website. Preston Hollow Village also saw an increase in engagement as visitors began to turn to social media feeds as a resource for entertainment and information.
