Phillips Square is an old Montréal meeting place. Sainte-Catherine Street, the city’s department-store history and the bustle of downtown gave the address a story that a skyline rendering could only begin to tell. For a Vancouver audience, that context had to travel with the architecture.

The campaign began with education. Advertising, creative delivery, budget and schedule centred on one task: introduce both the development and the market behind it. Brivia’s established identity and project materials supplied the visual world; the Vancouver programme gave that world a local audience.

The Fairmont Pacific Rim became the Vancouver setting for the October 2019 introduction. The programme brought the developer’s Montréal perspective, the architecture and the practical buying conversation into one room. Printed materials, presentation screens and the guest experience made a distant address feel close enough to consider.

The event gave the marketing a physical address in Vancouver. Invitations followed distinct VIP, Macdonald and wider Vancouver broker lists, with a sequence of announcements, registration reminders and follow-up. The private broker invitation stayed separate from public advertising, giving each audience a clear reason to engage.

The room was only the beginning. The post-event communication put renderings, floorplans, features, the brochure and a market press book within reach, alongside appointments and a defined worksheet process. A broker could return to a client with a complete conversation, rather than a memorable afternoon and a stack of loose promises.

That was the commercial work behind the hospitality: connecting a new audience to a new market, then giving the team a usable path forward. The surviving campaign records, collateral and event photography show the introduction from invitation through follow-up.
