Pressure-treated pine is a traditionally low-interest product in a sleepy category. Easily forgettable, predictable, and uninspiring brands had become the norm for the category. And this approach found the YellaWood brand at risk of losing their category leadership. It was time for a pivot. The brand needed something iconic that could maintain long-term interest and be immediately ownable. We needed a campaign the distribution channel wouldn’t just tolerate but covet. No brand in the category had that, so we decided to create it.
People covet things more when there is an emotional connection. It’s difficult to connect with lumber but humans apply the same level of emotion to animals that we do friends and family. Also, in a cluttered world, customers look for a shortcut to understanding why a brand is loved.
We combine breakthrough creative with a data-driven distruptive communication. We are able to then reach both the trade and consumer with our ragtag team of lumber-thieving beavers who work tirelessly to get their paws on the best of the best.
The omni-channel campaign includes social media, in-store point of sale, website integration, a leading-edge predictive analytics tool, sports sponsorships, email, and high-impact traditional print and out of home.
