That’s Who We R,” NAR’s national advertising campaign, helps consumers understand that REALTORS® are real estate experts in their local communities, who abide by NAR’s Code of Ethics and fight for real estate dreams and property rights.
Over the past two years, the “That’s Who We R” campaign has already made a big splash. As of March 31, 2020, the campaign has generated 835.9 million impressions. The majority of these impressions, almost half, came from TV, and 80 million coming from social media posts from REALTORS® like you!
Coming up, you may notice this campaign features some popular names. Listen for the ad spots during the “Stuff You Should Know” podcast or featured as a sponsor during Hulu’s new original series Normal People.
The campaign’s brand-new video series encourages consumers to “Look for the R” in every facet of the homebuying and selling process, to expand REALTOR® name recognition and help consumers relate the experiences in the videos to their own life. These videos focus on topics like REALTORS® being a trusted resource, the first-time homebuying experience and REALTORS’® as business partners that can help a client’s company raise the bar.
