Challenge.

Ahead of its busy summer period, Trex wanted to raise brand awareness. Quickly.

Response.

To reach the right audience with scale and speed, we knew a TV advert was the right option - so we grabbed our wrench, spirit level and cameras and got to work.

Hooked on the concept of ‘Open Your Doors’, the ad shows how to use a Trex deck whatever the time of day or year. We storyboarded the concept and sourced stylists, photographers, set builders and a camera crew to develop the ad.

Results.

From concept to creation, this project took just three months: a new record for Trex. The ad has reached more than 300,000 UK homes, sample requests increased by 30% as a result and online search volume for ‘Trex decking UK’ grew by 80%.
