Nomination Title: SWISS KRONO AQUA ZERO - New Product Marketing Campaign (2020)

Specify the date on which this campaign or program was launched: 01.04. - 31.12.2020

SWISS KRONO is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of wood-based materials. In 2020 SWISS KRONO has developed a new product, waterproof flooring panels - Aqua Zero (waterproof up till 24 hours). As an agency we were asked to launch the product on a very competitive, and price sensitive, polish market.

Reasons:

Presentation of competitive advantages of the waterproof flooring panels while arguing the high price.

Challenges:

-Polish customers were not aware of waterproof flooring technology and its advantages.
-Presentation of the premium product in an approachable/ moderat way (price sensitivity)
-Frequent offline stores closures due to covid 19 (need to redirect traffic to online channels)
-COVID-19 rapidly reshaping consumer behavior (customers spending more time at home)
-Strong competition 4 out of 5 biggest competitors introducing waterproof flooring panels in the same year.

The planning:

*Segmentation:
People who are buying new home (30-39)
People who are renovating their home (40-50)

Due to frequent offline stores closures (covid19) we decided to create an online tool ( https://www.swisskrono.pl/en/flooring) and redirect all ad traffic towards it.

*Real estate in Poland is most often bought by people aged 30-39. 70% of people buy flats for their own use (Gold Finance report).

The creative:

In order to present a premium product in an moderat way, and demonstrate competitive advantages of the waterproof flooring, The Spokojniccy (Peaceful) Family was born.

Key message: buying waterproof flooring equals buying a peaceful life.

We presented everyday situations that may be stressful, such as wet dog coming back from a walk or a baby spilling soup. With AquaZero flooring all of the aforementioned situations weren’t a big deal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFJLUqUokFA).

Media:

TG: women and men 25 - 54 (extended group based on the GA database).

Considering that most shopping decisions in Polish homes are made by women (Mindshare study "Purchasing decision-making in Poland" 2019), we recommended targeting ads 65% to women and 35% to men.

Media mix:

Digital (Display, txt, social, VOD),
TV (biggest polish morning show “DZIEN DOBRY TVN” and Home and Garden programs HGTV)
Spotify

Scheduling:

Majority of the media budget spend in October - November (high season)*

*March - May is the highest season but due to Covid19 the risk of running campaign at the first wave of the covid was too big.
