The Apartment Department
Multifamily marketing does not stand still. Neither do we.
The Apartment Department is a podcast for operators, marketers, leasing professionals, and industry partners who want to think differently about how marketing drives performance.
Through conversations with operators, marketing leaders, and industry partners shaping the future of multifamily, we focus on what they are building, testing, and refining to strengthen marketing teams and drive measurable results.
Our goal is simple. We want you to leave each episode with a new perspective and at least one idea worth testing.
Hosted by Anne Baum and Chris Johnson, exploring how strategy, systems, and performance intersect in multifamily.
Produced by Carlos Marquez.
