We Are: A Winning Team

Malta SIR Holds Training with Regional Director of Marketing to Kickstart 2016 The Malta Sotheby’s International Realty (SIR) team was thrilled to host David Russell in Malta for a training seminar involving all the members of the Malta office. David Russell is SIR Affiliates’ Director of Marketing responsible for the European, Middle Eastern and African (EMEA) regions and he delivered various sessions over one day, covering the various aspects of the Sotheby’s Realty luxury real estate brand presence in Malta and insights about the local luxury real estate market.

The team kicked off the new year 2016 with renewed energy, first and foremost by looking back onto a highly successful year in 2015 - both from a global brand perspective as well as on the local level. Malta SIR General Manager Miguel Bonello said that 2015’s positive figures clearly demonstrated how the brand’s positioning and visibility on a global level help leverage Malta SIR’s service locally.

Unparalleled marketing efforts and pro-active online campaigning Malta SIR Marketing Manager Diane Borg Bascetta said that through the brand’s marketing efforts internationally, the Malta office is able to offer unparalleled and targeted visibility on a global level to local properties on notable media powerhouses such as Apple News, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Google, Architectural Digest, Bloomberg.com, the Hong Kong Tatler and the Financial Times among others, thus significantly increasing sales opportunities for property owners.

Other than pro-active online campaigning in today’s digital age, which is incredibly important, one of Malta SIR’s strengths undoubtedly lies in being part of a powerful network of affiliates, physically present in over 61 countries and territories worldwide. The ultimate strength of the brand lies in the people representing it and upholding the brand’s values of quality, service and expertise in the area of luxury. Malta SIR’s team of associates, throughout the session, were able to familiarise themselves with the core values of the brand, the tools offered, and take away valuable points that will help them distinguish themselves and excel in the level of service offered to their clients.

Commenting about his visit to Malta, David Russell praised the Malta SIR office for their “vision, passion and momentum in abundance.” Last November, Malta SIR celebrated the extension of its office on 200, Tower Road in Sliema as well as expanded its team.
