Andrea Bailey
@andreabailey
Leasing manager and digital marketer who drives occupancy and engagement through data-led campaigns.
What I'm looking for
I’m a leasing and marketing leader with four years of experience creating and scheduling photo, video, and written content across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. I use tools like Canva, Adobe, Google Analytics, and email marketing platforms to turn performance data into smarter decisions and stronger outcomes.
In my current role, I lead leasing and marketing operations for a new development property by implementing structured workflows, team processes, and sales standards. I’ve increased pre-leasing from 30% to 40% in about 30 days, built direct outreach pipelines, and introduced lead tracking and reporting systems to improve pipeline visibility.
As a Leasing and Marketing Manager, I delivered a major turnaround by generating 200 leases during a challenging off-season and backfilling 31 high-risk leases while keeping an application gap under 2%. I spearheaded record performance, including closing 59 leases in a week and reducing a 7% pre-leasing deficit—without concessions, giveaways, or gift cards.
I bring a strong marketing foundation from consulting and internships, including digital-first content strategy, market research, and campaign performance analysis. I’m known for attention to detail, trend-driven planning, and coaching teams on follow-up execution, CRM utilization, and conversion-focused messaging.
