Jamie Matusek to Lead Panel Session, “Brand New: Marketing Strategies for Rebrands and Acquisitions”, at the 15th Annual Conference
AUSTIN, TEXAS (September 21, 2017) — Catalyst, an Austin-based agency specializing in marketing for student and multifamily housing, announced today that Jamie Matusek, President, will lead a panel discussion focused on innovative marketing strategies at the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) Student Housing Conference & Exposition in Tampa, Florida, September 25-27, 2017. The 15th annual conference is open to both NMHC members and non-members, and will host over 700 owners, developers, operators, investors, lenders, brokers, suppliers, and university partners in the student housing industry.
Matusek, along with Kim Grisvard, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at EdR; Alexandra Jackiw, President at Milhaus Management; and Samuel Mtunga, Principal at XFD Real Estate will share their combined knowledge of the student housing market, focused specifically on property rebrands. The session, “Brand New: Marketing Strategies for Rebrands and Acquisitions”, will take place Tuesday, September 26 at 1 p.m. and cover the reasons why rebranding may be a good choice for a newly acquired student housing property. It will also teach strategies for driving pre-leasing and occupancy results through an integrated marketing campaign, and help to explain the significance of integrated marketing in rebranding a property or launching a new development.
“I always look forward to connecting with other marketing leaders in the student housing space,” said Matusek. “The exchange of knowledge and expertise with other industry leaders is so crucial to our collective forward movement. In an industry that is defined by and built upon the trade of real estate assets, it’s critical that we all understand how to rebrand and re-release these properties in effective ways that impact customer attraction and retention. It is my hope that attendees will walk away with actionable information they can apply in their own communities, and a greater understanding of the significance of branding and marketing strategies to the overall investment performance.”
Matusek has shared her marketing vision at other industry events, including the National Apartment Association’s Student Housing Conference, the NMHC OPTECH Conference and Exposition, and the Apartment Internet Marketing Conference. She also recently presented at the Gathering of the Games, named one of the 7 ‘Can’t Miss’ Conferences For Entrepreneurs in 2017 by Forbes. In addition, she has contributed to industry publications, including Student Housing Business, Multifamily Executive, Multifamily Insiders, Globe Street, and Multi-Housing News.
