Content marketing agency Quietly is celebrating being shortlisted at the 2020 Content Marketing Awards, hot on the heels of capturing top honors last year. The company is following its 2019 win in the Best Use of Whitepapers category by being named a 2020 finalist for Best Regularly Featured Column or Section for their work on global real estate brand Sotheby’s International Realty.
“Back-to-back recognition shows we’re living out our mission of using data to help create compelling, industry-leading content for our clients,” says Quietly CEO Sean Tyson. “That’s always our goal; accolades are simply a bonus for doing great work.”
This year’s shortlisted program went to market as a weekly column produced for real estate publication Inman. Named Leading in Luxury, the feature gives Sotheby’s International Realty’s agents a direct share of voice through bylined articles and timely videos. Quietly paired in-person interviews with quantitative research to ensure that each piece was data-led, actionable and highly compelling to the niche target audience.
As the results show, Leading in Luxury articles regularly outperform Inman’s other pay-to-play content:
- Leading in Luxury posts garner 38 percent more pageviews, 55 percent more social shares, and 22 percent more email clicks than the publication’s sponsored posts on average.
- A top-performing story saw a mind-boggling 16:53 time on page, eclipsing industry standards by a wide margin.
“Quietly’s data-driven approach has helped us uncover topics and issues we know for a fact that real estate professionals care about,” says Lindsey Champagne, Senior Director of Brand Marketing at Sotheby’s International Realty. “We wanted to tell stories from our unique position in the real estate space while also addressing the trends affecting today’s brokerages. Leading in Luxury has allowed us to do just that, and Quietly has been instrumental in making that happen.”
