Realtor.com Aligns With NFL Draft

Realtor.com used this past weekend’s NFL Draft as the jumping-off point for an effort inviting this year’s new pro football draft picks to find their new home in their new city with the real estate search company.

Created by Huge Brooklyn, the out-of-home and social effort is running through May 5 in the top five draft markets: San Francisco, New York, Cincinnati, Jacksonville and Atlanta.

Highlights include customized permutations of the digital ads which went live to welcome the new draft pick in real time at the same time the draft was actually taking place. 

The creative harnesses the topicality of the draft and the brand’s humor to showcase Realtor.com’s special features, including its location-specific search and filter capabilities and app user function, according to the company.
