ONE MINUTE

These videos engaged the audience in a way the brand had never done before and held their attention as half of all Video Views lasted for more than one minute.

The Challenge

Paslode sought a strategy for introducing an innovative framing nailer system to a bilingual construction market with well-entrenched competition. The brand needed to expand its reach beyond traditional advertising and effectively introduce a “No Debris” promise.

The Solution

To give Paslode the competitive edge, we highlighted the improved end user experience Paslode 21° provides: less stinging from flying debris, reduced waste and fewer tool jams. We created two engaging and entertaining videos that presented the product’s benefits and launched a social media campaign to reach the target audience away from the worksite.

RECOGNITION

The campaign won a Construction Marketing Association (CMA) STAR Award for best use of social media on Facebook and a Silver Addy Award for Best Internet Commercial Campaign from the American Advertising Federation of the Greater Lehigh Valley.
