BALSAM MOUNTAIN PRESERVE
Reintroducing an Overlooked Community
Forty minutes west of Asheville, Balsam Mountain Preserve is a 4,400-acre private community that reached a standstill in home and lot sales. Rawle Murdy was brought in to help refocus the brand and reinvigorate new interest in this unique mountain community.
Preservation at its Peak
What makes Balsam so unique is its commitment to the land. More than 3,000 acres have been set aside as a permanent conservation easement and are managed by a private trust. We created a brand around preservation and all the ways this idea comes to life at Balsam. It gave all communications efforts a foundational truth that actually mattered to our target audience and set Balsam apart from the competition.
