XPROP is a specialist real estate advisory focused on the out-of-town retail and alternatives sector. Innesco was appointed at founder stage - a clean-sheet start following the partners' departure from an established platform. The founding team needed to establish legal, reputational and commercial separation from their previous firm, articulate a differentiated proposition in a crowded advisory market, launch with immediate credibility among investors, occupiers, agents and media, and avoid reputational risk during a sensitive transition period.
Launching a new advisory in a high-trust market is as much about risk management as it is about visibility. XPROP needed to enter the market as a new authority - not a legacy offshoot - with clarity, confidence and reputational control from day one to support partner-led growth and instruction flow.
- Led a structured pre-launch due diligence phase covering market positioning, narrative risk, stakeholder mapping and message discipline - including formal launch FAQs
- Defined the brand and proposition with the founding partners - codifying what XPROP is and, critically, what it is not - rooted in independence, senior-led advice and sector specialism
- Designed and executed a phased launch programme with controlled engagement across trusted trade titles and clear articulation of the founding team and ownership structure
- Retained as ongoing press office - managing media, strategic messaging around instructions, team activity and market insight
- Built out social and content platforms aligned with B2B decision-makers, plus advisory support around events and industry visibility
- Established formal scopes of work and reporting structures to keep momentum and discipline as the business scaled
The results.
- Established XPROP rapidly as a serious, independent advisory in the out-of-town retail and alternatives sector
- Market entry delivered with clarity, confidence and reputational control - no ambiguity around independence or governance
- Messaging and positioning supporting partner-led growth and a healthy instruction flow
- XPROP now recognised as a fresh, authoritative voice in out-of-town retail and alternative uses including roadside, logistics and residential
