The Paid Media Playbook: When, Where, and How to Launch Campaigns That Convert
In the competitive world of home builder marketing, a well-executed paid media strategy can be the difference between a warm lead and a missed opportunity. But knowing how to launch, and more importantly, when you're truly ready, is just as critical as where and how you spend.
This session is built to help marketers and business owners understand the foundational systems and structure needed to confidently invest in paid media and generate results.
We’ll cover:
When to Start Paid Media: It’s not about timing, it’s about readiness. Learn what internal systems need to be in place before spending your first dollar, including CRM setup, lead handling workflows, conversion tracking, and creative asset preparation. This segment will help you evaluate your marketing infrastructure and determine whether your team is truly ready to support paid campaigns.
Where to Start: From Google and Meta to CTV and programmatic display, we’ll break down which platforms are best suited for different stages of the homebuyer journey, and how to prioritize channels based on your budget, market, and goals.
How to Start: Gain practical insights into structuring campaigns, defining audiences, allocating budgets, testing creative, and tracking performance. You’ll leave with a clear, step-by-step framework for launching paid media with confidence and clarity.
This session is ideal for marketers, sales leaders, and owners looking to build or strengthen a paid media engine that delivers real traffic, qualified leads, and bottom-line results.

There was a lot of great information shared, and I appreciate how much of the information was actionable. Sometimes you go to these things, and they are more about camaraderie than substance. This week had a great mix of both.

The 2024 Homebuilder Digital Marketing summit was one of the best summits I’ve attended. I really appreciated the smaller size, info-packed presentations by industry professionals, and numerous roundtable opportunities, which allowed for meaningful conversations and learning directly from my fellow homebuilder marketers. It was an invaluable experience to exchange ideas and strategies in such an engaging, collaborative setting.
