DiVosta Homes Marketing
Director of Marketing - DiVosta spokesperson.
- Provided marketing and PR for 1,500 homes sales per year.
- Re-branded DiVosta Homes. Brand awareness 86%.
- Built in-house Marketing-PR Department. Saved $2 million first year, additional $3 million second year.
- Built first DiVosta website.
- Introduced Search Engine Optimization and Web/E-Commerce marketing.
Re-branded DiVosta Homes. Results = 86% Brand Awareness and new "fit" with Pulte Homes family.
VillageWalk at Lake Nona Website
Created microsites to have a community based website as part of the mix, include rich media ,and fewer clicks to content, downloadable brochures, and registration.
Anatomy of a DiVosta Home Radio Spot
I used a child VO a lot because it gets attention, it's easy to make an emotional appeal that connects with homebuyers, and the natural humor delivers the message without SCREAMING LIKE A CAR RADIO COMMERCIAL. Results = When I wore my DiVosta logo shirts around town, people would stop me all the time and sing the DiVosta Built-Solid jingle to me. It helped deliver the 86% brand awareness in the market. That's market influence.
JD Power #1 Award 6 years in a row! Commercial from year #2.
Objectives for the spot:
1) Announce JD Power Award and introduce new DiVosta brand.
2) Let our employees know we appreciated their effort to satisfy customers.
3) Thank our customers for voting us #1.
Results = Let me know... do you think we achieved the objective?
Outdoor Signage Billboards
I purchased hundreds of billboards in the state of Florida and created a new signage standard for Pulte in Florida. Results = Consistent, recognizable brand boards and more traffic at our sales centers.
Magazine and Newspaper Avertising
This was part of my hurricane campaign for Built-Solid homes by DiVosta. Our traffic went up, compared to other builders, every year during hurricane season. These ads helped deliver the brand proof points that make DiVosta a powerhouse and "hero" in the market. Consumers think of DiVosta Homes as a miniature shelter right before a hurricane. They all try to go stay with a DiVosta homeowner during a storm. You can’t have better brand action than that.

What is Design?
Consumer satisfaction and product success depends on creating a customer environment that meets what they want in every way. That means integrated design in marketing, PR, brand, product, manufacturing, sales, service - all working together.
A customer has to get access, see it, feel it, trust it. The environment you create has to engage the senses and it has to be integrated and pervasive to make it easy for them. That will make them interested enough to buy.
