Midtown Toronto skyline featuring the Landmark Residence, a modern high-rise building surrounded by greenery and urban architecture, representing innovative real estate development.

Executive Summary

One Delisle, designed by internationally renowned architect Jeanne Gang, is set to redefine Toronto’s skyline. Located at the iconic Yonge & St. Clair intersection, this bold, sculptural development from Slate Asset Management called for a campaign that could match its architectural ambition. ROC Media was engaged to support the launch with full-funnel media production, ad buying, and lead generation—driving momentum from brand awareness through to sales.

  1. Elevate Brand Awareness for One Delisle as a design-forward, globally significant development.
  2. Drive Qualified Lead Generation across local and international audiences—including outreach to culturally specific markets.
  3. Support a Seamless Sales Launch through synchronized media, creative, and lead capture strategies across all touchpoints.

Solution

To position One Delisle as a premium architectural address, ROC Media implemented a strategically layered campaign:

Targeted Paid Media

  • Ethnic Media Buys: Culturally resonant campaigns were tailored for Chinese, Korean, Russian, and South Asian communities, expanding market appeal and reinforcing global demand.

Production & Brand Visibility

  • Directional Signage: Eye-catching billboards and local street-level signage around Yonge & St. Clair enhanced brand presence in a high-traffic corridor.
  • Sales Centre Alignment: Digital and physical marketing assets were fully aligned to create a unified buyer journey—from ad to inquiry to in-person visit.
