From Zero to
Birmingham's
Most Visible
Housing Provider.
We became the first agency to run paid digital marketing for HMO providers in Birmingham — driving tenant inflows, landlord partnerships, revenue growth, and a sector-wide shift in how supported housing markets itself.
Viral content that put them on the map
We launched Community Supportive Housing's entire digital presence from scratch with a TikTok-first video strategy — the first time any supported housing provider in Birmingham had done this. The content was built to speak directly to the audience, creating genuine curiosity in a sector that had only ever relied on word-of-mouth referrals.
The campaign delivered significant video views and measurable brand awareness. Views became profile visits, visits became DM enquiries, and enquiries turned into real follow-up conversations — directly increasing tenant inflows into their properties.
Precision targeting that generated real leads
With brand recognition established, we moved into structured lead generation via Meta paid advertising. Using precision audience targeting, we reached the exact decision-makers and referral networks relevant to supported housing — local authorities, social workers, and housing networks across Birmingham.
The campaigns delivered qualified leads from a highly specific audience, proving that supported housing — traditionally 100% word-of-mouth — could generate measurable, trackable demand through paid digital channels.
Long-term visibility that compounds over time
Alongside paid campaigns, we built a sustainable organic foundation through SEO. Optimising Community Supportive Housing's web presence for relevant local and sector-specific search terms meant that their visibility grew beyond paid budgets — making them discoverable to landlords, referral partners, and prospective tenants actively searching for supported housing in Birmingham.
Business outcomes delivered
Tenant inflows increased
Direct increase in occupancy driven by awareness campaigns and inbound enquiries across TikTok and Meta.
Landlords came to them
Landlords proactively reached out to hand over properties — attracted by the brand visibility and professionalism 14D built.
Guaranteed rent model adopted
New landlord partnerships signed under a guaranteed rent, hands-off management structure — giving landlords confidence and CSH more stock.
Revenue grew
More properties, higher occupancy and new landlord deals directly translated into measurable revenue growth for the business.
Property portfolio expanded
Inbound landlord interest enabled Community Supportive Housing to grow its number of managed properties significantly.
High tenant retention
Occupancy was not just won — it was kept. High retention rates maintained stable income and reduced void periods.
The first. The blueprint. The standard.
Before 14D Marketing, not a single HMO or supported housing provider in Birmingham was running active paid digital campaigns. We saw the gap, built the strategy, and executed it. Within weeks of our launch, other providers across the city began replicating the model — validating every decision we made. We didn't just deliver results for one client. We set the benchmark for an entire sector.
