Jalcon Homes chooses Chemistry

AUCKLAND, Today: After a pitch, Westhaven indie Chemistry has been selected as the agency of choice for group home builder Jalcon Homes. The incumbent was Auckland’s Saturday Creative.

The appointment will see Chemistry develop the brand identity and roll out a marketing campaign in partnership with Lassoo Media to launch Jacon’s The Hibiscus Collection,, a new premium housing development located near Orewa.

Jacon Homes marketing manager Deryn Newman,said: “Chemistry really got under the skin of who we are as a business and how we are looking to differentiate ourselves.

“They used our heritage in contemporary design and elegant, premium quality homes to give our new Milldale development a brand identity that we all loved.

“We are looking forward to launching The Hibiscus Collection in May and seeing our design-led homes bring pleasure to new homeowners in Milldale.”

Targeting first time buyers, investors and older New Zealanders downsizing to a premium lockup and leave lifestyle, Chemistry’s brand creative for the new development pulls inspiration from the coastal community in which it is to be located.

“Chemistry really got under the skin of who we are as a business.”

“From the design stage to building and handing over the keys their experience is proven and they always deliver beautiful new homes that blend in with their surrounding environment.”

Chemistry business director Marija Ewan said: “We’re very excited to be working on such a beautiful development for Jalcon Homes and have loved exploring the Hibiscus Coast and Orewa, which were the inspiration for the name, look and feel of the brand identity.”
