The challenge

Grosvenor Europe, the owner-manager of a 14-asset, £472m portfolio across three European markets, appointed Innesco to handle PR and communications in Stockholm, Madrid and Paris - with a group reporting function into its London team. Each market had a different focus: a fledgling premium residential business in Spain, the management of existing offices and logistics in France, and driving leasing interest for retail assets in Sweden - supported by first-language executives in each country.

Why it mattered commercially

A multi-market platform with very different business lines in each region needed a single, credible narrative to unite stakeholders, tenants and capital partners - without flattening the specialism of each country team.

What Innesco did
  • Bespoke communications strategies for Stockholm, Madrid and Paris, supported by first-language executives in each country
  • Group reporting and coordination into the London team
  • Raised awareness of Grosvenor Europe's 'Living Cities' philosophy, articulated for each sector and country
  • Senior speaker positioning and media briefings at MAPIC and MIPIM
  • Worked with the in-house research team to advise on, and promote, custom research on current sector topics
Outcomes

The results.

  • Raised the profile of each country head and their team's specialism - residential in Spain, offices and logistics in France, retail leasing in Sweden
