From a consumers point of view there are very few agencies with an overwhelming brand promise differential or attraction proposition. The brand promises being conveyed are all much the same and rather traditional. This offers a fantastic opportunity for those businesses’ looking to grow and provide consumers with more than a one-size-fits-all approach. Real estate business in Australia are not known for being particularly progressive or innovative .
Agencies need to truly believe in always searching for better ways of doing business ; to listening to their customers’ needs and not assume what is right for them. But it’s not just about the tangibles of business, the ‘stuff’ (the signboards, websites, personal profiles) – it is about being focused on creating a culture of innovation that naturally flows from within an organisation.

Business leaders generally struggle to find the true value in the intangibles – focusing more on the what and how rather than the why. It is most important to be continually implementing new strategies and business solutions that have a meaningful competitive edge. It is this culture that creates sustainable innovation.
