<p>Property website takes bold new advertising approach</p>

<p>25 hours of hair and makeup to transform Green into a family of rappers</p>

<p>Property website FindaProperty.com has launched a bold new 5 million advertising campaign aimed at cementing its reputation as the most memorable and helpful property website in the UK.</p>

<p>The campaign premiered on January 8, 2012 during ITV's Dancing on Ice and brings humour and excitement to the search for a new home, featuring a number of characters who rap about their search for a property while using FindaProperty.com.</p>

<p>It's the first time a property website has taken such a bold and unique approach to an advertising campaign.</p>

<p>The campaign stars RADA-trained actor Ross Green who plays nine different characters across three separate TV ads. The first advertisement stars expectant parents living in a cramped flat; the second ad, to be launched on February 5, stars a grandmother on a mobility scooter; and the third advertisement, to premiere later in the year, stars a burger-flipping father of four.</p>

<p>The television adverts were filmed in December over four days on location at a North London home. It took 25 hours worth of hair and makeup to transform Green into nine separate characters.</p>

<p>Sheraz Dar, marketing director of the Digital Property Group, the DMGT-owned company behind the FindaProperty.com brand, says:</p>

<p>"In a market where the TV ads focus on rational messaging, we are proud of the fact that FindaProperty.com is able to communicate the brand's benefits in a fun and engaging way.</p>

<p>"With all the property websites expected back on TV in January we feel that doing something different will make us stand out and homebuyers take notice. So rather than re-running our 2011 ads, or creating something similar, we've gone for something completely unique.</p>

<p>"January is traditionally a peak time for online home searchers and our new campaign will remind them we're here to help them find their new home in 2012.</p>

<p>"We're proud of the fact this is a humorous, unusual and attention-grabbing campaign and we hope the stories of our rapping characters will show just how helpful FindaProperty.com can be for home hunters - whatever their age, gender or life stage."</p>

<p>FindaProperty.com will unveil further elements of the campaign in the coming weeks including a competition to win fantastic prizes and test your rapping skills.</p>
