Frequently Asked Questions

How much should an independent commercial real estate developer budget for ongoing creative and marketing?

1

An independent developer's budget depends on the execution model they choose. Traditional agencies charge between $10,000 and $50,000 per month, with a significant portion allocated to agency overhead and junior account staff. On the other end, hiring freelancers means paying for isolated tasks with no strategic investment, forcing your internal team to creative direct and manage projects. Witness eliminates both issues by offering dedicated senior creative leadership and execution through flat monthly retainers at $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000 per month, depending on your scope.

How do commercial real estate developers maintain leasing velocity during long development cycles?

3

Leasing cycles for commercial assets often take over a year, which causes early marketing efforts to lose momentum. To maintain active tenant interest, developers need a continuous pipeline of updated leasing collateral and placemaking materials. Witness provides this ongoing support through our monthly retainer. We produce the exact B2B marketing required to keep your project in front of brokers and anchor tenants from groundbreak to stabilization.
