Kivvit

Kivvit today was nominated for multiple Emmys at the New York Emmy Awards for its impactful work with the State of New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) in creating a COVID-19 public awareness campaign. The nominations come after Kivvit won four awards for its work with NJDOH at the American Association of Political Consultants’ Pollie Awards last month, 10 awards at the Reed Awards in April and having won the Platinum SABRE Best In Show Award and Superior Achievement in Research and Planning Award for the same campaign. The Reeds also named Kivvit Public Affairs Firm of the Year for the third consecutive year. “We thank the Murphy Administration for being remarkable partners throughout this entire endeavor,” said Director of Brand Strategy Pearl Gabel. “This effort is among our proudest at Kivvit. We strive to create compelling, interesting content but it is all the more rewarding when that content saves lives.” “It is an honor to be nominated and to have our work showcased with so many other worthwhile efforts,” said Associate Director Vin Ciniello. “Kivvit will continue to build on our data-driven ethos to tackle the most complex issues here in New Jersey and across the country.” Kivvit has worked to amplify NJDOH messaging and resources to change public behavior and mitigate the effects of COVID-19 since the early stages of the pandemic in April 2020. Since then, Kivvit’s work has evolved to encompass a multitude of strategies, leveraging state-of-the-art insights and thousands of ads in dozens of languages. This high-impact work with the NJDOH has led to measurable, life-saving results reflected by an improvement in statewide COVID-19 testing rates and the success of the state’s vaccination efforts. Kivvit’s NJDOH campaign advertisements were nominated for the Public Service Announcement Category Single Entry for its “Sorry, Mom” ad and nominated for the Campaign category for a series of ads, including “Fight Isn’t Over Yet,” “Holiday Gift -Grandma,” “Not That Stupid,” “Holiday Gift – Kid,” and “They Call Me An Essential Worker” ads. Award recipients will be announced in October 2022The Emmy Awards honorees will be announced in October 2022 in a livestream broadcast on the NY Emmys website and at a live in person gala on a date and place to be announced. Of Kivvit’s work with the New Jersey Department of Health, Paul Holmes, chair of the SABRE judges, described the campaign as “everything our judges are looking for in a modern 21st century public relations campaign. It was data-driven, with sharp insights and impressive creativity across multiple channels, and—most important—it resulted in real, measurable behavior change. It’s no exaggeration to say that this campaign saved lives.” About Kivvit Kivvit is one of the largest and fastest-growing independent strategic communications and public affairs firms in the United States, with over 140 professionals across six offices in Boston, Chicago, Miami, New York, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C.

How Real Estate Agents Can Sell More Homes While Working Fewer Hours

Top Property Marketing

2022 has been quite the year for the real estate market. From a surge of home prices all across the board to investors pouring in money to protect their wealth against inflation. While real estate agents are transitioning from the old-fashioned way of billboard and magazine advertising to the more calculated and scalable approach digital marketing has to offer. One company, in particular, has set its sights on capitalizing on the massive opportunity… To help residential real estate agents generate qualified appointments and close deals on demand, Hasher Azizi founded Top Property Marketing (TPM). A digital marketing agency specialized in helping agents scale their business quickly and cost-efficiently through paid advertising and automated follow-up. TPM is a completely done-for-you marketing solution, so agents can focus on what really matters: closing real estate deals. Hasher's TPM chatbots has the innate ability to recognize whether a lead is looking to buy, sell or rent a home - all while carrying out the client qualifying process. This is simply done through the lead's preferred choice of communication: Messenger, Instagram or WhatsApp, before securing them as a qualified appointment on the agent's calendar. Then further following up with leads on a weekly basis for over a year through email, SMS and chatbot communication with the agent's listings and open houses, along with tips and resources - making the buying, selling or renting process easier for their time and money. It's a near-identical experience for real estate leads who are discussing their property plans whether it's with an agent or TPM’s chatbot on the agent’s behalf. With the exception that TPM’s chatbots can serve an unlimited amount of leads anytime around the clock. The majority of a real estate agent’s income is made through the follow-up process and a successful follow-up assures clients that their agents have their best interest in mind. Residential real estate agents working with Top Property Marketing save themselves the time and effort of generating, qualifying and scheduling leads for appointments. While being able to better spend their time closing more real estate deals and doing the cherished things that motivated them to become real estate agents in the first place.
