A Breath of Fresh Air: Launching decarb for Avison Young

Avison Young partnered with Floresco to launch decarb, their new decarbonisation service for the UK real estate market. With no prior LinkedIn activity to build on, we designed a full-funnel awareness campaign that reached 78,000 senior decision-makers and drove a +476% uplift in traffic to the decarb service, delivering warm, high-value leads.ย

“I couldn’t be happier with the level of service, the attention to detail, the account management, and the campaign outcomes.”

The Challenge

Decarb brings together feasibility, fit-out, funding advice, and facilities management under a single clear contract. Itโ€™s a full-service offering in a market where most competitors focus solely on strategy.ย 

The priority for launch was clear: build awareness of the service among the right audience, quickly. But being a brand-new service line, it had no paid media history to learn from. No benchmarks, no previous activity, and a niche audience of industrial occupiers, landlords, and senior real estate decision-makers.ย 

On top of that, decarbonisation is a topic that can feel abstract and a little dry on a LinkedIn feed. We needed to cut through to a commercially valuable but easily distracted audience.

Our Approach

A Three-Phase Full-Funnel Build

We structured the budget across three phases: awareness and reach; engagement, education, and lead generation; and traffic and conversion. This prioritised getting decarb in front of the right people at scale, before educating them and asking them to engage.

Creative That Cut Through

Decarb can feel dry, so getting the creative right was key. Together, we developed four distinct concepts, testing variants across distinct formats and audiences. Continuous iteration helped us find what worked, with Bright Ideas emerging as the winner.

Lead Forms & Lead Magnets

Alongside the awareness push, a key strategic test was where users were more likely to convert: natively on LinkedIn, or on Avison Young’s own website. Every tracked lead came through LinkedIn’s on-platform forms. We worked with together to produce strong content to share with prospects, testing content across webinars and whitepaper formats. We reallocated budget mid-campaign to lean into what was working.

Qualified Prospects

We developed sophisticated LinkedIn audience targeting approaches, aligned with the ideal decarb client. This ensured we were reaching the right companies, industries, roles and getting in front of qualified senior decision-makers. Ongoing testing and optimisation was informed by live audience data and regular client feedback, helping minimise any spend wastage and enhanced overall prospect quality.

The Impact

What the client had to say

“I have worked with Sally and Harriet at Floresco and couldn’t be happier with the level of service, the attention to detail, the account management, and the campaign outcomes. It’s rare to get such an enthusiastic team at an agency where genuinely nothing is too much trouble (even when we must have tested their patience!).

“The service was exceptional, and they will definitely be my go-to going forward, and I will refer other marketers their way.”
