Sandymount St. ThomasFull-Scale Community & Development Marketing
Residential Development Marketing, Branding & Lead Generation. Marketing a community before it was built.
ONGOING PARTNERSHIP SINCE JANUARY OF 2026.
Project Overview
Marketing a residential development starts long before the first home is constructed.
Sandymount St. Thomas was entering the market with no existing audience, no online presence, and no lots available for sale. The goal wasn't simply to market a development—it was to build awareness, establish credibility, and generate interest among qualified builders before the project officially launched.
Beyond Borders Creative partnered with the development team to create a complete marketing strategy that would position Sandymount as one of St. Thomas' most anticipated new communities.
-
Before launching social media, we focused on building the marketing foundation for the development. Working alongside a trusted brand design partner, we developed the brand messaging, created a lead-generating website, established communication systems, and designed the marketing materials needed to support future growth.
To generate early interest, we launched a website featuring community updates and a builder-focused email sign-up, growing an engaged audience of more than 300 qualified builders and industry professionals before lots were available.
From there, we introduced a strategic social media and paid advertising campaign, collaborating with local organizations and highlighting the St. Thomas community to build anticipation, increase awareness, and position Sandymount as one of the region's most anticipated new developments.
-
With the marketing foundation in place, we launched an organic social media strategy focused on more than just the development itself.
Rather than waiting until lots became available, we highlighted everything that makes St. Thomas an attractive place to build and invest.
Through collaborations with St. Thomas Economic Development and other local businesses and attractions, we showcased the community, lifestyle, and long-term vision behind the development.
Paid advertising was introduced during the second month to expand reach and continue generating awareness among qualified builders throughout the region.
Together, these efforts created anticipation, increased awareness, and generated meaningful conversations with local and regional builders before lots were officially available.
