About the project

02One approach

Two awards, two industries, one approach.

These two awards mean more than recognition. They span two sectors where VIMA GURU has built deep expertise: hospitality marketing and real estate development marketing.

For Maximus Mykonos, we created the digital presence of a five-star hotel in one of the Mediterranean’s most competitive destinations. For Astrea Properties, we developed an AI-driven marketing approach for a leading real estate developer. Both projects asked a great deal of us, and both delivered.

Digital is not only a channel or a tool. It is a way of thinking.

That is why the Most Innovative Use of Digital award carries particular weight for us. It names something we believe in deeply, and it shapes how we approach every brief.

03The awarded projects

The work behind the awards.

Leveraging AI as a solution to real estate development challenges.

In the Greek market, where off-plan sales remain particularly limited, the absence of a completed property is one of the greatest trust barriers a buyer faces. Traditional architectural visualisation was too costly and too slow to support a real-time, performance-driven marketing model.

Together with Astrea, VIMA GURU built the answer: a fast, flexible, AI-driven production capability that visualised what did not yet exist, closed the trust gap with prospective buyers and supported the commercial funnel from awareness to commitment.

Two successful launches in one year.

The Maximus Mykonos project started before the hotel existed. With no photography and no completed space, VIMA GURU translated an architectural vision into a complete digital hospitality experience. Months later, a full rebrand and change of name called for a complete relaunch: a new domain and an updated identity, with no loss of SEO and no disruption to the user experience.

“Two awards, two industries, one common thread: adaptability.”

From the acceptance speech

This is a special time for VIMA GURU, and I say that not just because of the awards, but because of what they represent.

A Bronze for the website we built for Maximus Mykonos, and a Silver for the most innovative use of digital in our work with Astrea Properties. Two awards, two industries, one common thread: adaptability.

The Most Innovative Use of Digital is not just a category. It is a way of thinking. In a digital world changing at a speed we have never seen before, with AI acting as an accelerator, the question is no longer whether we are using the right tools. It is whether we are adapting fast enough. The agencies that survive and excel are not those that follow developments. They are those that have made adaptability a culture. That is what we strive to do, and we are proud that tonight, it is being recognised.

To Maximus Mykonos and to Astrea Properties: thank you for the collaborations that brought us here tonight. And to my team, who is here tonight: every single brief, every late night, every bold idea that made these projects what they are, this is yours. Thank you.
