Verve: A bold brand launch

When I first learned about Verve, I saw more than just another rental building — I saw an opportunity to bring energy and personality into UBC’s rental scene. The challenge was to launch a brand-new building in a highly competitive market and connect with a younger audience of students and young professionals. Verve needed a voice that stood out — bold, vibrant, and full of life — a brand that didn’t just offer apartments, but a lifestyle with personality and purpose.

  • Developed eye-catching graphics and visuals, from billboards to print materials to stand out across multiple channels.

  • Took professional photographs of the progress of the building to give a sense of how life at Verve would look like.

RESULTS

  • Fully leased within 8 months of launch.

  • Built strong awareness and online visibility
    among the target demographic.

    voice that resonated with students and
