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.

Apartment Website Strategy: Are Property Websites Still Designed for Today’s Renters?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Apartment websites remain one of the most important marketing assets for multifamily operators—but renter expectations are evolving quickly.
In this episode of The Apartment Department, Chris and Anne explore whether the traditional structure of apartment websites still matches how prospects search for and evaluate communities today.
They discuss the must-have features every property website should include, how vendor partners influence website strategy, and whether the industry should begin approaching apartment leasing more like e-commerce.

In this episode we discuss:
• Whether traditional apartment website formats still work
• Features that improve apartment website performance
