The Brief
By partnering with gocrossmedia, Laing and Simmons have earned a reputation locally as brand marketing leaders. Through our strategy; where they have lead .. the others have followed.

Our primary brief was to create a campaign that would continue to stimulate market growth, while subtly repositioning brand awareness by highlighting team values, local knowledge and overall success.
The Solution
gocrossmedia developed creative that would take the Laing and Simmons brand in an unexpected visual direction through a childhood “rainy-day” favourite; a well known board game based on buying and selling property.
