CertaPro Painters

CASE STUDY

Home Improvement

Challenge:

Support Franchisees with an over-arching brand campaign to reach Residential Customers in Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego and San Francisco to create awareness of the professional services CertaPro Painters offers.
Some of the markets had existing, ongoing media campaigns. The brand awareness campaign had to account for the current campaigns and enhance and extend the brand, rather than compete against it.
