The People Behind the Work
Deborah Hayes Advertising is a boutique branding studio focused exclusively on multifamily. We partner with owners, developers, and property teams to create clear, strategic brands—from naming and positioning to design and execution—built to lease, perform, and last. With over 20 years in the industry, Deb brings a deep understanding of development timelines, lease-up strategy, and the realities of bringing a property to market. We speak your language because we’ve worked alongside it for decades.

"Over the past 10 years I've had the pleasure of working with DHA in many different scopes including new development lease ups, acquisitions and retro building. More recently, DHA has worked with Kenect Nashville and Kenect Phoenix on everything from brand design, to advertising, copy, online and print. Their talented team will work tirelessly to ensure that your brand is accurately represented and that you are delighted with the result. Deb's ability to manage any challenge, and the personal interest she takes with all of her clients, go above and beyond creative services.
