SALT.TV Launches Knight Frank's Global Cities 2017 with Vibrant Animation

Knight Frank’s annual Global Cities report is a noteworthy event in the real estate calendar; known for delivering insights into the property market in a visual and dynamic way, the report acts as a guide to investors on a global scale.

Not overflowing with information, but dropping enough enticing hints about the content through bold statements and visual cues, the film acts as a perfect teaser, encouraging investors to learn more from Knight Frank. Doesn’t hurt that it looks pretty beautiful too…
