QUBE Developer

Entering Dubai’s Competitive Real Estate Market With a Data-Driven Strategy That Reduced Lead Costs by 40% and Generated 15% of Total Sales Through Events

About case

QUBE is an established international developer with over 30 years of experience across global markets. Despite a strong brand presence worldwide, the company was entering Dubai for the first time – launching Cubix Residence in JVC, a mid-premium residential building aimed at both investors and end-users.

The challenge was significant:

Dubai’s real estate market is saturated and extremely performance-driven.
Lead prices fluctuate fast and vary widely across audiences.
Competitors aggressively test 50–100 hypotheses weekly.
Trust is harder to establish for newcomers, even with a strong international background.
Traffic quality can be volatile, requiring precise funnel engineering.

QUBE needed a full-funnel marketing strategy to enter the market confidently, validate their positioning, and build a predictable flow of qualified leads – while controlling acquisition costs from day one.

Encore Marketing was brought in to build the launch strategy, advertising engine, audience segmentation, and lead-to-sales pathways for the new project.

Our Goal

Create a market entry strategy tailored specifically for Dubai buyers and investors.
Build a performance system that delivers high-quality leads at scale.
Reduce cost per qualified lead vs market benchmarks.
Develop funnels for both B2B (agents, brokers) and B2C (buyers, investors).
Use events and product presentations to drive real sales.
Test a wide range of ad hypotheses and landing pages to optimize CAC.

What We Did

1 – Built a localized market entry and positioning strategy

We redefined QUBE’s value proposition for the Dubai market by analyzing:

competitive landscape in JVC
investor expectations
price-per-unit benchmarks
buyer behaviour patterns across digital channels
trust triggers required for new developers

This allowed us to build a differentiated narrative that combined QUBE’s global heritage with local relevance.

2 – Launched a dual acquisition engine: B2B + B2C

We built two parallel funnels:

B2B (brokers & agencies)

targeted outreach
tailored landing pages
event-driven presentations
broker proposition + sales scripts

B2C (buyers & investors)

Meta + Google Ads
segmented audiences (locals, expats, GCC, investors, foreign buyers)
dynamic ads and retargeting
sequential storytelling entrances (“meet the project → understand the value → inquire → visit”)

This allowed us to scale volume while improving qualification quality.

3 – Designed and tested more than five specialized landing pages

Each landing page focused on different triggers:

ROI/value proposition for investors
location benefits for end-users
design & architecture focus
payment plans
amenities + lifestyle framing

The best-performing versions outperformed the main website by +25% conversion rate, significantly lifting lead efficiency.

4 – Optimized performance with 100+ ad hypotheses

We tested:

different creatives (static, motion, 3D renders, storytelling formats)
audience mixes
geo-segmented audiences (UAE/GCC/global)
pricing vs. lifestyle framings
CTA variations
funnel step sequencing

This volume of experimentation allowed us to reduce cost per qualified lead by 40% compared to market average.

5 – Organized offline and online events that generated direct revenue

We helped plan and coordinate project presentations in Dubai and international markets. These events:

strengthened trust
increased conversion from lead → sales meeting
generated 15% of total project sales
built long-term relationships with brokers and buyers
