Challenge & Objectives

Situated in Shropshire, The Astbury is the regions premium, luxury lodge resort providing ownership and buy to let opportunities to an affluent, 55+ audience.

In addition to this the venue enjoys a golf course and membership, fine dining and can be used as a wedding venue.

The challenge of the campaign was to increase lead volumes for lodge ownership and ITV was the platform with the most significant footprint in their target area.

Additionally the intention was to promote their other services in the run up to Christmas during a trading period that was typically more challenging compared to the first half of the year.
