Over the past year, Diversified Partners’ marketing department has increased efficiency,
strengthened brand consistency and expanded the company’s visibility across design, public
relations and digital platforms.
Behind these efforts is a nimble, collaborative team that supports the company from initial
concept through public-facing execution, aligning creative production, media outreach and
brand strategy under one cohesive platform.
Streamlined, cohesive creative production
By adopting Adobe InDesign as its primary design platform instead of Adobe Illustrator, the
marketing department has streamlined the design and production process, making it easier to
create, update and manage marketing materials across a wide range of projects.
The transition has also helped the department create a more consistent look across its
marketing collateral. With standardized layouts, typography, branding elements and templates,
the team can work more efficiently while maintaining a polished, professional presentation.
Expanding visibility through public relations
Beyond internal marketing efforts, Diversified Partners continues to broaden its reach through
public relations. Working with The McRae Agency, the company has secured more than 140news placements so far in 2026, reaching a combined audience of 54 million and generating an
estimated advertising value of more than $415,000.
Coverage has highlighted major developments including Destination at Gateway, Ironwood and
Ranch, East Gate Plaza, 99th and Indian School and continued progress at The Lakefront at
Scottsdale. Placements have also spotlighted the people behind Diversified Partners, including
Father’s Day features on the two father-son duos helping lead the company. Award wins for
Walt Brown Jr., Wally Brown, Kelly Gantner, Brandon Vasquez and Diversified Partners as a
whole have further showcased the company’s leadership and continued growth across Arizona.
Growing digital authority
That visibility is also contributing to Diversified Partners’ growing digital authority. An August AI
visibility audit found the company appearing in 42.9% of targeted searches across ChatGPT,
Gemini, Copilot and Claude, with an average ranking of No. 2.5 out of five. Diversified Partners
also ranked No. 1 across all four platforms for searches related to The Lakefront at Scottsdale.
Together, these marketing and public relations efforts are helping Diversified Partners maintain
a consistent brand, expand its reach and strengthen recognition of the company, its people and
its projects across Arizona.
