Senior Vice President of Marketing for The Studio, Mike Fischer, an industry veteran recognized several times by Swanepoel in its annual list, The Most Powerful People in The Residential Real Estate Brokerage Industry, formerly served as chief operating officer and chief marketing officer for Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, was appointed to lead The Studio in October of 2018. Under his direction, The Studio is focused on the development and implementation of a suite of custom and automated marketing platforms for agents that build on The Studio's innovative boutique concierge service model using modern technology and custom creative design married with personalized, white glove service.

The Studio is also home to a team of product owners, user experience researchers, visual designers and product developers, who in collaboration with the technology team of NRT's parent company, Realogy, are helping to build the company's marketing technology infrastructure, complete with open source architecture to ensure compatibility and ease of integration with third party partners.  Building products with agents and not just for agents, the team is working in an agile environment with a heavy focus on listening to users and bringing products they want to market quickly, then growing and evolving the products based on agent input.

The Studio announced its innovative listing marketing platform, Listing Concierge, in December. Listings involved in the program experienced a 2% to as much as a 7% higher sale price than those that weren't. To date, more than 10,000 Listing Concierge packages have been ordered companywide. The team additionally launched Desk nationwide, a unified platform that unites the key products and tools that affiliated agents need to run their business effectively in one cohesive, integrated solution.
