Changing with the times

  • Why start Rendering House?

  • Why Rendering House to Anewgo?
    • Content > Software > Media Company
    • Product > Platform > Ecosystem
    • Home Shopping Network
  • Ago and New. Learn from the past. But don’t live in it. Your customers don’t and won’t.

Where do we go from here?

  • Build-out our ecosystem
  • Integrate and partner
  • Scale

Unicorns pursue markets that are

  1. Huge
  2. Fragmented
  3. Inefficient

 

Disruptive barrier: Unique New Home product

  • Only virtually exists
  • Buy in pieces
  • Complex, risky, expensive investment
  • Collaborative purchase
  • Lengthy shopping, construction, closing process
  • Many hand-offs
  • Often must sell to buy

 

Technology breakdowns barriers

  • Tech-savvy consumers expect and demand it
  • Big builders and venture firms are investing billions in PropTech
  • Riskier to keep status quo than preparing for tsunami of disruptive changes

 

Perfect storm for disruption

  • Tech-savvy, demanding consumers
  • New technology and investment
  • Unstable environment

 

Content is the tip of the spear for changes!

  • Everything starts with content
  • Content is harbinger of things to come
  • Spearheads tech revolutions (Google, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Zillow)
  • Content is now both the soldiers and the battlefield.

 

Battle for eyeballs!

  • Marketing goals: 1. Attract audience 2. Engage prospects
  • Many fronts
  • Different battlefields
  • New high-tech weapons

 

Winning the war!

  • Data is the secret weapon
  • Content + Data = Knowledge

Kings + Gold = Powerful Kingdoms

  1. Content is King
  2. Data is Gold
  3. Knowledge is Power

Powerful Fusion of Content and Data

All-Powerful

  • Omnichannel Data-driven Visualizations provides Omnipresence, Omniscience, Omnipotence
  • Full Knowledge of People and Products provides competitive advantage.
  • Advanced Knowledge pulls demand. “Pre”suade instead of persuade.

  • Provide better customer experience and products with less work 
  • Use data to feed AI and provide virtual assistance to online shoppers
  • Create win/win for both consumers and builders

MarTech Revolution

  1. Marketing: Attract Audience (“Eyeballs” in tech-speak”)

Push the PEDALS!
