From Code to Community: The Humans Behind the Intelligence

Why this campaign, and why now?

For years, multifamily operators have raced to adopt the latest technology: apps, chatbots, automation, and AI. The issue isn’t age or digital fluency. It’s an experience. Renters aren’t rejecting innovation; they’re rejecting poor execution.

That’s the tension we set out to resolve with our new campaign: From Code to Community: The Humans Behind the Intelligence. Technology alone doesn’t win loyalty. People do. And when tech empowers people, it becomes more than a platform. It becomes a partnership.

The Technology Tipping Point

Between 2015 and 2021, resident‑facing technology soared in importance, peaking during the pandemic when digital tools became lifelines. But by 2023, cracks appeared. Renters grew weary of clunky interfaces, dead‑end chatbots, and platforms that solved operational pain points but ignored resident needs. And as the 2025 SatisFacts Biennial Online Renter Study revealed, renters are rating tech as less important than ever, with scores dropping to their lowest in a decade.

The message is clear: renters want both real connection and real convenience. They want technology that feels intuitive, empathetic, and human. The future isn’t human or tech. It’s human with tech.

So, ask yourselves: What’s our brand’s people‑to‑platform ratio, and is it working?

Why It Matters for Executives

For multifamily leaders, the stakes are high. The right technology doesn’t just streamline operations; it drives measurable outcomes.

• Increased ROI: Platforms that align human and tech workflows reduce inefficiencies, accelerate leasing, and improve retention.
• Freed Capacity: Automation handles repetitive tasks, giving onsite teams time to focus on what matters most — building relationships, solving problems, and creating community.
• Positive Online Reviews: When residents feel seen and supported, they share it. Seamless tech experiences translate into stronger reputations.

It’s about redefining what tech partnerships look like in multifamily and realizing there’s a better way to
