How Do Agents Think About Marketing? With We Are Unchained Founder, Simon Leadbetter
Q: What size of agency typically starts to employ a dedicated marketing or social media specialist?
In the UK, the average estate agency is very small, around 1.9 agents, and you tend to see a marketer emerging once the team grows beyond roughly 10–12 people, with some large brands still lacking formal marketing teams.
How Do Agents Think About Marketing? With We Are Unchained Founder, Simon Leadbetter
Q: Would you say that 29% of agents spending marketing solely on portals is a baseline, or has that fluctuated widely?
The figure surprised us as a baseline, highlighting a segment that relies heavily on portals; the broader trend shows growth in multi-channel marketing among high-performing agents while a substantial portion still leans on a single channel.
AI, Data and Product at Swiss Marketplace Group, with Martin Waeber, Head of Real Estate at SMG
Q: What is SMG's stance on AI and alternative search channels affecting portals, and how will you keep customers engaged?
SMG emphasizes prioritizing strong brand trust, emotive search alongside transactional search, and expanding both on-platform AI features and off-site traffic channels to keep consumers and seekers engaged, rather than relying solely on external AI copilots.
AI, Data and Product at Swiss Marketplace Group, with Martin Waeber, Head of Real Estate at SMG
Q: How does SMG plan to leverage data as a product for AI-driven features and what data assets back this strategy?
SMG leverages its complete data ecosystem, including Yahtzee's historical transactional data, to power AI-driven insights, consumer search enhancements, and business tools, while keeping proprietary data in-house to fuel differentiation and protect competitive advantage.

Q: Can you explain how the new flex pay system works and how it differs from traditional subscription models?
The flex pay system sits on top of the standard subscription by offering a pay-per-listing component, with pricing variations depending on whether the listing is rental or for sale, designed to help smaller customers manage fluctuations and avoid overpaying when their portfolio changes.
