    Overview

    Civetta Property Group is a mission-driven real estate development collective focused on expanding workforce homeownership opportunities in Philadelphia — thoughtfully designed, attainable housing that helps hardworking Philadelphians build long-term wealth while strengthening the communities they call home.

    The Ask

    Before partnering with Pixel & Polish, Civetta was running paid campaigns but struggling to generate enough lead volume to support sales across a growing portfolio — and their messaging wasn’t resonating with the audiences who stood to benefit most from their affordable homeownership programs. Civetta needed more than campaign execution: they needed a strategic partner to reposition their message, scale qualified demand, and humanize the mission through compelling digital storytelling.

    The Approach

    We began with deep research into Civetta’s target audiences, Philadelphia’s local housing market, and historical property sales data — then developed a comprehensive, multi-channel paid media strategy designed to reach and convert high-intent buyers efficiently. To strengthen emotional resonance and trust, we concepted, storyboarded, cast, and produced a full suite of video assets, integrating them seamlessly across owned channels, landing pages, and paid media placements to support performance and brand growth in tandem.

    Story system

    Pixel & Polish collaborated closely with photography and videography partner Digital Love Studio to produce a cinematic hero film and a versatile library of supporting assets. The videos deploy across the website, social media, digital advertising, online listings, and broader marketing materials to create a cohesive, emotionally compelling brand presence.
