Leading real estate giant, the Blue Mountain group, recently selected Leo Burnett Solutions Inc. (LBSI) as its marketing communications partner. 

Blue Mountain has embarked on a branding and integrated communications campaign to strengthen its position as a leader in Sri Lanka’s dynamic real estate industry. Following a competitive pitch process, Leo Burnett was selected as Blue Mountain’s partner and will execute a holistic marketing communications campaign for the brand and its numerous real estate projects across Sri Lanka. Leo Burnett will deploy an integrated campaign comprising advertising, branding, media, digital and PR tactics to effectively strengthen this reputed brand. 

Blue Mountain specializes in land sales and real estate developments ranging from luxury residential plots to commercial properties and world-class apartments. The company focuses on delivering excellence through innovative design, superior standards of construction and customer service with a focus on the community and environment. The company’s commitment to give back to the environment by dedicating 10 perches of the land area of each project to nature is an important commitment that the company has taken as a responsible real estate developer which is conscious of the country and its future. 

Blue Mountain has already received high acclaim for its vast service offering and its gated community development concept. Blue Mountain recently won international recognition with a 5-Star award at the prestigious Asia Pacific Property Awards Summit (APPAS). The company is now focused on strengthening its brand presence both in Sri Lanka and Australia. Leo Burnett will work closely with the team at Blue Mountain to deliver the brand’s promise through a variety of touch points.  

LBSI, the local office of the global advertising network Leo Burnett Worldwide, is one of the most awarded and recognized agencies in the country. Leo Burnett works with a prestigious portfolio of local and global brands. Its HumanKind approach helps the agency to build powerful brands and meaningful partnerships with its clients.
