In Gladstone’s competitive property market, professional video content has become the cornerstone of successful real estate marketing. With over 85% of buyers now starting their property search online, a well-crafted feature video can be the difference between a quick sale and a listing that languishes. At Ray White Gladstone, we’ve seen firsthand how strategic video marketing transforms property campaigns and attracts serious buyers to homes across the region—from waterfront properties in Tannum Sands to family homes in Telina and executive residences in Glen Eden.
Today’s buyers expect immersive digital experiences before they ever set foot in a property. A comprehensive video brief ensures your Gladstone property is presented in the best possible light, whether you’re marketing a CBD apartment, an acreage property in Calliope, or a coastal home with views across the harbour.
Start by establishing what you want your video to achieve. Are you showcasing a luxury waterfront property to interstate buyers? Highlighting a family home’s connection to local schools like Gladstone State High School or West Gladstone State School? Or perhaps emphasising the lifestyle benefits of Gladstone’s proximity to the Great Barrier Reef and pristine coastal areas?
Consider the emotional journey you want to create. Modern property videos tell stories: a young family creating memories in spacious living areas, professionals enjoying the work-from-home potential of a dedicated study, or retirees embracing the relaxed coastal lifestyle that Gladstone offers. These narratives help viewers envision themselves in the property.
Understanding who’s looking to buy in Gladstone is essential. The local market attracts diverse buyers: families relocating for employment at the port or LNG facilities, investors seeking strong rental yields, downsizers looking for low-maintenance properties, and retirees drawn to the region’s climate and lifestyle.
Your video should speak directly to these audiences. Highlight features that resonate; proximity to the Shopping Centre, access to Gladstone Harbour, distance to medical facilities, or recreational opportunities at East Shores or Tondoon Botanic Gardens.
Every property has unique features, but Gladstone properties often have distinct advantages worth highlighting:
A property’s surroundings matter enormously. Feature footage that captures what makes Gladstone special: the stunning coastal setting, proximity to pristine islands like Heron Island and Lady Musgrave Island, local amenities, schools, shopping precincts, and recreational facilities. Aerial shots capturing the property’s position relative to the CBD, beaches, or major employers add valuable context for relocating buyers.
Buyers from Brisbane, Rockhampton, or interstate are often unfamiliar with Gladstone’s benefits, your video is an opportunity to educate them about the region’s appeal.
Collaborate with your videographer to create a shot list that maximises impact:
In 2026, consider incorporating emerging formats like vertical video optimized for Instagram Reels and TikTok, or even immersive 360-degree footage for premium listings.
Select background music that aligns with your property’s character—upbeat for family homes, sophisticated for executive properties, relaxed for coastal retreats. Your videographer can source properly licensed music to avoid copyright issues.
In 2026, accessibility is non-negotiable. Include captions for all videos (auto-captions on social platforms are now standard), as the majority of viewers watch with sound off. For YouTube and longer-format content, consider adding a professional voiceover that provides context about the property and Gladstone area.
Your video should work across various channels:
Every video should guide viewers toward the next step. Include clear calls-to-action such as:
Share your brief with your marketing team (if available) and videographer well before the shoot. Schedule a pre-production meeting to align on objectives, discuss timing, and confirm all essential elements.
Being present during filming allows you to ensure key features are captured, answer questions about the property, and make real-time adjustments. Your local knowledge combined with professional video expertise creates the best outcome.
