To support the campaign, Keichinger spearheaded marketing and advertising assets, including a video advertisement ranked as the #1 rated ad in the real estate category for the 11th year running and a ColdwellBanker.com website refresh with new tools designed for sellers which was recently recognized as a Gold Stevie Winner for the submission of the “Dream” campaign and Move Meter under the Best Marketing Campaign – Real Estate category in the 2023 American Business Awards. Her creativity, dedication and passion have been a driving force behind the brand’s commitment to guiding people home every day.
