Let’s go!

The last 4 years have been messy. COVID shutdown, followed by a hair-on-fire housing boom, then the interest rate lock-out and commission shakedown. Whew. You made it. Things are looking up. It’s time to leave survival mode and get bold about what’s next.

This is what the 1000WATT Brand & Marketing Summit is all about. The feeling of being in a room with people and ideas that light you all the way up. The mix of insiders and outsiders that gives you a new perspective and makes a palpable imprint on your business.

Who should come

Executives and marketers in proptech, brokerage, franchising, mortgage, title, MLSs, and associations
Real estate team leaders
Solo agents who are eager to build market share
Brokerage and franchise leaders who want to lead their teams through a time of change with confidence

What you can expect

Relevant research that shows you exactly what consumers think about representation, agent commissions, agent value, and what is worth paying for.
Hands-on messaging workshops where we will hash out what works and what doesn’t
Strategies and takeaways for what to do and what to say next.
Keynote speakers who will guide you through building a pitch that sells, and crafting an impactful story in a chaotic world.

Aaran Draplin

A Spirited Update from The Draplin Design Co.— And Other Fibs, Lies and Perjuries

Born from the loins of the proud Midwest, Aaron grew up on a steady stream of Legos, Star Wars, family trips, drawing, skateboarding and snowboarding. After making a name for himself as art director for Snowboarder magazine and Portland design firm Cinco, Aaron stepped out on his own in 2004 to start The Draplin Design Company. Since then, he has rolled up his sleeves for brands ranging from Burton Snowboards to President Obama.

We’ll have more details as we get closer to the event, but you can expect us to cover topics like:

The opportunity in true differentiation
Speaking your customer’s language in unforgettable ways
Articulating your value beyond a simple sentence
Winning in the new commission reality

A live event with deliverables

We don’t mean branded bags and water bottles. When we say an event with deliverables, we mean you can expect actionable strategies, messaging, playbooks and more delivered directly to your inbox after our time together.
