In property investment the individual is the product. Investors back people before they back deals, which means advertising that hides the founder behind a company name is discarding its strongest asset.
The difficulty is doing that without the content collapsing into the lifestyle-and-supercar register the category is saturated with, which repels exactly the investor worth having.
Start & Scale built the campaign around Simon directly, producing founder-led creative that leads with competence rather than lifestyle signalling, the register that survives contact with a sophisticated investor.

Should property investors market themselves personally?
Almost always. Investors back people before deals. Start & Scale builds founder-led property campaigns that lead with competence rather than lifestyle, because the lifestyle register repels sophisticated capital.
