A SHORT INTRODUCTION
Taiharuru Cove is a secluded estate on the Whangarei Heads. Three buildings set above a private, pohutukawa-shaded beach, with panoramic views to Elephant Island and the Kauri Mountain reserve at its back. Future Isles brought us in to find its buyer. The catch: that buyer could be anywhere in the world, and would likely commit before ever standing on the sand. So we built a campaign to close the distance.
Barfoot & Thompson is New Zealand's largest privately owned agency, family-run for a hundred years. They brought us in to sell their most remote, premium coastal listings the way the best brands sell anything: online, at scale, to exactly the right people.The job was to turn high-end video and photography into a journey that found serious buyers and warmed them up long before they stood on the land. So we built the system to do it, and built it to repeat.
THE CHALLENGE

Selling a remote coastline to buyers who would never stand on it first

THE CONTEXT

Taiharuru sits at the remote end of an already rarefied market. The right buyer was high-net-worth and almost certainly offshore, forming an emotional decision from a screen long before any site visit. The campaign had to make distance irrelevant.

OUR MOVE

We built a dedicated property website and a full-funnel Meta campaign across five markets. Cinematic video carried the top of the funnel. Tightly segmented retargeting and a low-friction enquiry flow turned attention into qualified leads, piped straight into CRM for follow-up inside the hour.

WORDS FROM ANTIMONY
The hard truth about Taiharuru was that almost no buyer would ever drive to Whangarei Heads to see it before deciding. That call was going to be made on a screen, probably from another country, probably late at night. So we stopped treating the website as a brochure and built it as the inspection itself. Everything flowed from there. Cinematic video to put someone on that beach without the flight, a property site engineered to hold attention rather than just list features, and a full-funnel campaign across five markets to find the few people who could act. Then the unglamorous part that actually closes deals: tight retargeting, a frictionless enquiry flow, and CRM follow-up inside the hour. On a property like this, a lead left cold overnight is a lead you have lost.
Sam Hill, Managing Director of Antimony

209 qualified buyers for a property most would only ever see on a screen.

PERFORMANCE

Over three months the campaign generated 209 qualified leads at $16.20 each, from 1,161,216 impressions and 479,874 in audience reach. 236,206 video plays drove top-of-funnel engagement, and a 4.75% landing-page conversion rate turned 6,938 website visits into genuine buyer intent.

THE OUTCOME

A cost per lead well under luxury-property benchmarks, from a buyer pool spread across five countries. Proof that prestige coastal property sells digitally when creative, targeting and follow-up work as one system.

WORDS FROM FUTURE ISLES
They understood we were selling heritage environments to wealthy buyers, and built campaigns that felt cinematic yet commercial. The calibre of enquiry reflected it.
