Zetwal - Selling a Lifestyle Through Brand and Film

Context

As part of my ongoing collaboration with Cap Tamarin, I was commissioned to develop the naming, branding and sales brochure for a new residential project composed of townhouses and penthouses set within a natural environment.

The objective was to position the development within a competitive real estate market while differentiating it from similar projects.

Strategic Approach

During the initial briefing, I challenged the conventional approach to real estate marketing.

Rather than presenting the project as a collection of properties, I proposed positioning it as a lifestyle offering — focusing on the experience of living in the space rather than the product itself.

This shift allowed the project to stand apart from competitors and created a stronger emotional connection with potential buyers.

From Concept to Narrative

To translate this positioning into a compelling campaign, I developed a full storyboard for a video concept that would express the experience of living within the development.

The narrative focused on atmosphere, environment and daily life, reinforcing the idea of place rather than product.

Production

The concept evolved into a full-scale production involving:

  • A crew of over 20 people
  • 3 days of shooting
  • 10 different locations
  • Filming with a RED Dragon camera

The most demanding sequence took place atop La Tourelle Mountain, where a reduced crew and cast climbed the terrain to capture a key closing shot envisioned from the initial concept.

Outcome

The project combined branding, narrative and production into a cohesive marketing approach, reinforcing the positioning of the development as a lifestyle destination rather than a standard real estate offering.
