"We have worked with Rubber Duckers for the best part of 6 years now and the whole team stand out for their work and efforts to keep us happy as customers. Chris has a fantastic creative mind and constantly generates new ideas and concepts, which keeps us staying dynamic. Ross always does a superb job at capturing content, with a very quick turn-around. We look forward to continue working with the team for many years to come."

The problem

Today’s students look online for their student accommodation and, as a local company, City Estates needed a way to showcase their properties in a way that competes with halls managed and marketed by national companies.

The solution

We supported with a new website with property listings, professional interior photography and testimonial videos with ongoing support ensuring the content stays up to date after refurbishments.

Photography
Crucial to any property business. High quality imagery of each house was important to capture.
