Lennar

Recruitment marketing that led with purpose

Lennar is a homebuilding company that needed to hire 8,000 new Associates — many with a technology background. To do this, we needed a multifaceted campaign and a meaningful differentiator.

The idea

Create a brand tagline that sold recruits on being a part of something you could touch, feel and mattered in real life. The tagline “Build something real” was born. The idea spoke to building something real for your future, while also helping families achieve the dream of homeownership.

The tagline “Build something real” was perfect. It really made a big difference and took our recruitment communication to the next level.
