The Challenge: Cut Through the Noise, Capture the Right Crowd

Desert Mountain Club, one of Scottsdale’s most elite private golf and real estate communities, needed a smarter way to reach its ideal audience: Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals (UHNWI) from across the country. The goal? Generate high-quality leads for both exclusive memberships and luxury real estate.

The problem wasn’t visibility—it was efficiency. Traffic was broad. Leads were inconsistent. The club needed to align its digital presence with the caliber of its offering. That’s where Pork Pixel came in.

Our Solution: Targeted Strategy + Luxe UX

We deployed a nationwide full-funnel paid media strategy, combining hyper-targeted ad campaigns with refined SEO and user experience on-site:

  • Top-of-Funnel: Lifestyle-driven creative and brand-forward Meta/Google campaigns.

  • Mid-Funnel: Sophisticated prospecting via income layers, behavior, and custom audience models.

  • Bottom-Funnel: Retargeting and conversion tactics dialed in to maximize form fills and calls.

  • Enhanced key landing pages to align with high-conversion UX principles.

  • Created custom lead capture pages for targeted ad groups.

  • Applied SEO upgrades across high-impact content and local search touchpoints.

The Audience: High Net Worth, National Footprint

This wasn’t about local reach. It was about nationwide acquisition of the 1%:

  • Geo-targeting to affluent U.S. metros (NYC, SF, Miami, Chicago, LA, Dallas).

  • Custom audiences filtered by net worth, behavior, and engagement.

  • Retargeting to re-engage high-interest visitors.

  • Strategic ad spend focusing on buying intent, not impressions.

We engineered a campaign that filtered for quality and built credibility across key markets.

The Results: Nationwide Impact, Elite Conversions (July 2025 vs July 2024)

  • Impressions: Down 33%—but reaching exactly who matters

  • CTR: Jumped from 2% → nearly 9%

  • CPC: Increased—reflecting deeper intent and better-qualified clicks

  • Ad Spend: Reduced by 34%

  • Conversion Rate: Increased significantly

  • Total Leads: Up 55%

Fewer distractions. Smarter spend. More leads—from exactly the right kind of prospects.

Why It Worked: Performance Meets Prestige

Our high-performance media strategy and website optimization delivered real estate and membership leads from UHNWI prospects across the U.S. This wasn’t generic growth—it was refined, targeted, and measurable progress.

Desert Mountain’s Edge: Built for Luxury, Tuned for Scale

We didn’t rebuild—we refined. We didn’t shout—we targeted. Pork Pixel engineered a lead gen engine that matches Desert Mountain’s premium status, and made every dollar work harder in front of the right eyes.
