Akrete Real Estate Industry

We speak commercial real estate—and all its sub-sector dialects

No PR, content and marketing firm knows, lives and breathes real estate and workplace as deeply as we do. Ranked the nation’s #2 independent PR firm for real estate development and investment (O’Dwyers), Akrete is an award-winning, national public relations, content development and marketing firm founded to serve the commercial real estate industry and related fields such as multifamily, workplace and financial services.

Margy Sweeney, Founder & CEO, has been in commercial real estate since 1995 as an in-house marketing manager, a journalist and a marcomm/PR agency leader. She envisioned a team of the best CRE communicators in the country—and built our team accordingly over the past decade.

Today, our seasoned professionals are passionate about the role the built environment plays in shaping our culture and landscape, and we thrive on using communications to build bridges between leading real estate brands, and the audiences you prize.

A few Akrete real estate clients

David Wills

Akrete is very strong on targeting in order to be effective. Their media relations team is excellent at targeting the right media as opposed to blasting out. They know how to select specific outlets and specific reporters as opposed to categories.

At Kingbird Investment Management we work in a nuanced business. We need a strategic partner that speaks the language of our target audiences of high-net-worth investors, family offices and wealth managers. Akrete really gets our business and industry, so they quickly mastered the subject matter, tone and industry language to deliver smart, technical content that felt true to our brand and resonated with our target audiences.

Any IT group’s success often happens behind the scenes without an easy way to demonstrate the business value. Akrete helped us show value in a very impactful way by helping us craft a story for various audiences, including supporting messages and communication tools.

We’ve partnered with Akrete for over a decade across many of our business areas. This latest endeavor with JLL Technologies helped us tell our story in a simple and creative way that resonated with all stakeholders and also honored the dedication of our IT employees. Once again, Team Akrete has helped us achieve all our objectives and we’re looking forward to our next project together.
