Our Partnership with LJ Hooker

LJ Hooker is one of Australia's most recognised real estate brands, with a rich 97-year heritage. With over 200 office locations across Australia, LJ Hooker Corporate plays an important role in leading the brand's marketing strategy, whilst also ensuring brand consistency across its many offices and marketing outputs.

LJ Hooker partnered with Reload Media to build a unified digital strategy to build on strong brand momentum and win further market share. The main goals were to build early-year market momentum, lift brand consideration, and maximise the Spring period.
