THE CHALLENGE

To raise awareness of the design and craftsmanship of Redrow Homes and inspire the next generation of potential housebuilding professionals.

Specifically, WPR was tasked with engaging a younger generation in a fun and relevant way using digital technology to bring the concept of home design to life.

THE IDEA

We launched ‘Recreate Redrow’, a competition to digitally recreate a Redrow home or development using a platform of the users’ choice, whether that be Minecraft, The Sims or Roblox. With categories for ages from 4+, everyone could unleash their creative talent and potentially discover a dream future career.

A tailored regional press release launched the challenge in target geographical areas. Partnerships with key influencers, including two TikTok influencer paid partnerships and a YouTube livestream, drove social engagement to widen reach.

An expert judging panel, featuring popular gamer Clare Siobhan (known as More Clare Siobhan on YouTube) and senior Redrow staff, selected the winning entries, with art vouchers, gaming bundles and work experience opportunities at Redrow up for grabs across the difference categories.
