    #345 Kirsty Franks: Estate Agency Marketing Unfiltered For 60mins

    In this episode, we’re joined by marketing strategist Kirsty Franks for a powerful conversation on what world-class real estate marketing really looks like in today’s market. Kirsty breaks down why so many agents fall into the trap of reactive, inconsistent marketing — and how a clear strategy, defined audience, and relentless consistency are what truly set top performers apart. From personal branding to postcode targeting, this is about building a presence that keeps you front of mind when it matters most. We go deep on what Kirsty believes is the highest ROI channel in estate agency right now — email marketing — and how agents can unlock its full potential through segmentation, automation, and authentic, personalised messaging. No generic content. No shortcuts. Just smart, database-driven communication that converts. We also explore how marketing has evolved — from AI search and Google visibility to integrating digital and print — and why tracking your data properly (from UTM links to CRM attribution) is no longer optional if you want to scale. Alongside the strategy, there’s a brilliant conversation around the growing visibility of women in estate agency, the impact of the WIEA conference, and why community, collaboration, and long-term thinking are shaping the future of the industry. If you want to move from random acts of marketing to a clear, measurable, long-term strategy that actually delivers results — this episode is essential listening. 🔊 This episode is sponsored by Iceberg Digital – Revolutionising the estate agency industry through automation, innovation, and world-class marketing. https://iceberg-digital.co.uk/ Purchase our book at: https://worldclassrealestate.agentresponse.store/

In this powerful and refreshingly honest episode, we sit down with Chris Ellis, a highly experienced estate agent and owner of Homes, to talk about consistency, mindset, and cutting through the noise of negativity that surrounds both the industry and everyday life.
