There are real estate campaigns, and then there are causes. We'd like to share campaigns involving real estate that weren't intended to buy or sell property, but to enhance, protect, and help it continue for future generations. What campaign would you add to our list?
I Love (heart) NY Campaign
Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires
This campaign began in the 1940s and still continues. Generations have grown up knowing and loving Smokey Bear as he reminded us all to protect the wilderness lands. Over time the slogan has changed from forest fires to wildfires for a wider purpose than the US Forest Service. Again, not a traditional real estate campaign, but one that has run for more than 70 years and still has relevance. The campaign is a project of the Ad Council in partnership with the US Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters.
Henry Morrison Flagler – Florida
What started as a tourism campaign in the late 1800's eventually lead to the formation of both Miami and Palm Beach Florida. Henry Morrison Flagler was a founder of Standard Oil Company as well as later in his life the Florida East Coast Railway. Flagler's first wife Mary was very sick, and her physicians recommended wintering in Florida believing it would help. After her death, Flagler married again and the new couple traveled to Florida. They loved the location but found transportation and lodging unacceptable. Flagler began a sophisticated campaign marketing Florida as a vacation destination. This was a time when the adventure of the Wild West, or more exotic locales overseas tended to be the premiere vacation destinations for the well-to-do. Ultimately, Flagler created such a love of the east coast of Florida for many of the visitors, they began investing in the real estate for themselves. I wonder if any of the current leading Floridian PR firms could craft such an organic PR campaign that Flagler unexpectedly created.
A Dark Hour
This was a campaign to draw attention to global warming. The first of its kind was in 2007 when millions of people around the world turned off their lights for Earth Hour, the WWF-organized global movement. The aim was to save power and even many famous global landmarks celebrated an hour without electricity. Again, not a real estate campaign per se, but what greater bit of real property is there then the planet where we live?

Compliance posture, communications framework, investor disclosure, and crisis pre-positioning all need to assume EU jurisdiction even for companies without European operations. Here's the stress test framework.
