Alpine Property Investments specialises in the marketing of ski and lakeside properties across the French and Swiss Alps, as well as Canada. With a substantial property portfolio and a personal, concierge-style approach, they assist clients with everything from legal and tax advice to mortgages, travel, translations, and furnishing their new home abroad. Their reputation is built on trust, expertise, and a passion for helping clients navigate the international property market.

To support their brand growth and streamline their digital presence, Alpine Property Investments brought in Utterly Social to manage their social media from the ground up. With only a Facebook page and no previous strategy in place, we were tasked with building an effective and consistent presence across multiple channels.

Challenges

  • Limited brand awareness: With a niche international offering, Alpine Property Investments needed to raise awareness in the right markets to attract qualified property buyers.
  • Content volume & consistency: With a high volume of properties listed, the team needed a partner who could translate their listings into engaging, platform-appropriate content.
  • Audience Building: Their early social channels had a small follower base, with little strategy behind growth or engagement.
  • Internal Bandwidth: As a boutique team focused on client relationships and transactions, they needed a dedicated social partner to manage everything from planning to execution.

Solution

Utterly Social developed and executed a strategic, multi-platform content plan designed to grow Alpine Property Investments’ online visibility, reach relevant property-seeking audiences, and ultimately support traffic and conversion goals.

  • Social media strategy: We created a tailored strategy that reflected the brand’s tone, international positioning, and high-end service offering, aligned closely with their broader marketing goals.
  • Content creation & publishing: We turn property listings and brand messaging into daily social content across Facebook, Instagram, and X (Twitter) – including reels, carousels, resort tips, and seasonally themed property roundups.
  • Community engagement: We monitor messages, comments, and relevant conversations – responding promptly, resharing user-generated content, and building trust with both buyers and alpine-loving enthusiasts.
  • Audience growth: Through consistent posting, platform best practices, and occasional competitions, we organically grew the audience into a vibrant and engaged community.
  • Strategic Sounding Board:Beyond execution, we advise the Alpine team on trends, content ideas, and opportunities across other digital marketing channels, acting as an ongoing extension of their team.
  • Analytics & reporting: Regular reports provided insights into performance, audience trends, content success, and recommendations for optimisation.

“Working with Sarah and Utterly Social has helped us build both our brand and audience on social, from just a small base to now a very significant number of followers.

From the start, Sarah has understood our company’s needs and aligned a social media strategy to support it. In addition, Sarah has advised us on a range of activities and channels to further support our wider marketing strategy and continues to be a vital sounding board and valued member of our team.

Working with Utterly Social has allowed us to focus on the core elements of our business and stay ahead of what is a fast-changing and sometimes bewildering key element of promoting our business.”
