We market, film and sell real estate across Chicago and Illinois for developers, architects and builders. We also publish the research Chicago's launches are planned on, so our advice comes with numbers and dates.
What I would doStart the brand, renders and waitlist about six months before sales open, and give buyers one clear reason to choose your building over the one across the street.

Plain answers to what you are buying. Most projects need three or four of these working together, run by one team so they tell one story.
Ads and search that bring you buyers, renters or clients who have raised their hand, screened before they reach your sales team.
You need it when You have units, homes or capacity to fill on a date.Paid media from $3,500 a month →The online sales gallery for a building or a firm: residences or projects, prices, and a way to reserve or book.
You need it when You are launching, or your site is losing buyers.$25,000 to $50,000, one time →One page, one offer, one action, built for a specific campaign, audience or release.
You need it when You are running ads and need them to convert.Built inside campaign programs →The name, identity and story that make a building or firm easy to choose and hard to forget.
You need it when Before anything is printed, filmed or advertised.$25,000 to $60,000 →Film, social and PR that put the project in front of the right people again and again, so the name is known before the ask.
You need it when Months before sales open, and all the way through.Social from $3,500 a month →Pages Google and assistants like ChatGPT trust enough to show and recommend when buyers search.
You need it when You want demand that keeps coming without paying per click.From $3,000 a month →Cinema-grade films, photos and renders labeled as visualizations, made by our own crew.
You need it when Every stage, from renders before groundbreaking to the finished homes.Films from $15,000 →Press, awards and features that give buyers and investors a third party to believe.
You need it when Launches, milestones and major deliveries.Scoped with the launch →When we compiled the city's permit records for our Chicago developer index, 77 new-construction permits of $10 million or more had been issued since January 2025, and the Near West Side had more of them than any other community area. West Town and the Near North Side came next. On LaSalle Street, office-to-residential conversions are adding rental units to the Loop at the same time.
For a developer, that means a Fulton Market or West Loop launch in 2026 or 2027 is not marketing against the city. It is marketing against three or four buildings within walking distance, often delivering in the same season, to the same buyers and renters.

About the team →With TERAMOK, full launch programs run $8,000 to $25,000 a month, buildings already selling or leasing start with a $9,000 launch and $6,000 a month, launch websites cost $25,000 to $50,000, films start at $15,000 and brand identity at $25,000. Ad spend is paid by you directly to the platforms, at 0% markup. Every price is published on our pricing page.
Ask six things: a dated result on a building like yours, what buyers will see before the building exists, what it costs in total, who owns the accounts and files, who vouches for them, and what happens in the first 90 days. An agency that cannot answer all six in writing before you sign is guessing.
We build the waitlist before sales open: a launch website, labeled renders and film, then Google and Meta campaigns aimed at the buyers most likely to reserve, with every lead screened before it reaches your sales team. On a West Loop launch that produced 180 qualified leads and 22 reservations out of 48 units before groundbreaking.
A website is the full online sales gallery: every residence or project, prices, the story and the team. A landing page is one page built for one campaign and one action, like joining the waitlist or booking a tour. Most launches need both.
About six months before sales open, so the brand, renders, website and waitlist are ready on day one. In the Near West Side and the Loop, where several projects deliver in the same season, earlier is cheaper than discounting later.
TERAMOK is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and works across Chicagoland and the United States. Our own crew shoots on location in the city.
