506(c) investor marketing for real estate sponsors
The short answer
Ad Insights Group is an investor marketing agency for U.S. real estate sponsors and fund managers with an active Regulation D Rule 506(c) offering. We build the ads and funnel, run the campaigns, and handle every inbound text, reply, and call until qualified investors are booked on your calendar. You take the investor call.
We work only with 506(c) offerings, the Reg D exemption that permits general solicitation. We do not support 506(b) raises.
Book a 30-minute discovery callWho this is for
- U.S. real estate sponsors and fund managers with a Rule 506(c) offering that is live or about to launch.
- Sponsors who are ready to take calls with prospective investors.
- Asset classes we work with: multifamily, self storage, land entitlement, mixed-use, build-to-rent, short-term rental, and manufactured housing.
- Sponsors replacing an agency whose leads rarely turn into calls, and sponsors who have tried running investor marketing in-house.
Not a fit: 506(b) offerings, people looking to invest in a deal themselves, and anyone seeking investment advice.
What 506(c) allows, in plain terms
Rule 506(c) lets an issuer use general solicitation, such as online advertising, for a private offering. In exchange, every purchaser must be an accredited investor, and the issuer must take reasonable steps to verify each purchaser's accredited status. The SEC explains both points on its Rule 506(c) general solicitation page and its page on assessing accredited investors.
This page is general information, not legal advice. Your securities counsel decides how your offering is marketed and how purchasers are verified.

How a 506(c) program runs with us
- Discovery call. A 30-minute call about your raise. If there is a fit, we deliver a campaign plan.
- Creative strategy. We package your deal into a campaign that gets attention, for your approval before anything goes live.
- Funnel build. Landing pages, lead capture, automated follow-up, segmentation, and CRM and calendar integration.
- Launch. Campaigns go live across the agreed paid channels.
- Inbound handling and booking. We handle every text, reply, and call, including booking and rescheduling, so qualified investors land on your calendar.
- You take the call. Your job starts at the pitch.
- Reporting and optimization. We track the full funnel, from ad to held call, and adjust targeting and creative.
On average, campaigns launch about two weeks after kickoff, and booked calls typically start coming in within 72 hours of launch. Averages, not guarantees; timing varies by offering.
Lead qualification is not accredited investor verification
When we qualify a lead, we are checking marketing fit: interest in your offering type, timing, and readiness for a call, based on what the person tells us. That is self-reported and is a sales step only.
Verification is different. Under Rule 506(c), the issuer must take reasonable steps to verify that every purchaser is accredited. The SEC lists methods such as reviewing IRS forms that report income, reviewing bank or brokerage statements for net worth, or obtaining written confirmation from a registered broker-dealer, SEC-registered investment adviser, licensed attorney, or CPA. That work stays with you, your counsel, or a third-party verification provider. Ad Insights Group does not verify accredited status.
What we are not
Ad Insights Group is a marketing and investor acquisition agency, not a broker-dealer or placement agent. We do not solicit investments, handle funds, or provide investment advice. You and your securities attorney handle the offering itself.
What to prepare before launch
- An active 506(c) offering, or a firm launch date, confirmed with counsel.
- Approved offering facts the creative can use, and the disclosures counsel wants on every page.
- A person and calendar ready to take investor calls.
- Your written definition of a qualified conversation for your raise.
- Your verification process for accredited status, decided with counsel.
