Arnold Worldwide Wins Association of Realtors, Will Teach Digital Millennials The Value of Human Realtors

Increasingly, there aren't many people who know what a Walkman is. And it seems, there are a lot of Millennials who don't really understand what a realtor is or how this non-digital human can add value beyond the mouse click to the home-buying process.

The National Association of Realtors just awarded its account to Arnold Worldwide after having been handled by Most for the past 20 years. Arnold will be charged with making the realtor relevant again.

Of the win, Arnold Global President Pam Hamlin said: “Arnold is tasked with helping NAR reclaim the Realtor’s role in the overall home-buying process, and to educate millennials on what a Realtor does and the value they can provide."

Hamlin adds that Arnold will “target millennials through an integrated cross-channel campaign, which will center primarily on television and digital activations.” Work is expected to break in the fourth quarter.

Of choosing Arnold over incumbent Most which also participated in the pitch, National Association of Realtors Senior VP of Communications Stephanie Singer said: “Most participated in the pitch and made it to the final round. The decision ultimately was not about the past quality of their work, only an interest in moving in a different direction.”
