VIA Named Agency of Record for CertainTeed
Portland, ME (PRWEB) November 16, 2016 -- Today, The VIA Agency, an employee-owned, full-service creative agency, announced that it has been named Agency of Record for CertainTeed, a leading North American brand of exterior and interior building products and a subsidiary of Saint-Gobain. This is the third consecutive win for VIA after participating in three competitive Pile and Company pitches and winning AOR for Asurion and T. Rowe Price in the last six months.
Traditionally, CertainTeed has only focused on marketing to business customers. The company will now work with VIA to educate consumers on the importance of understanding the choices in building materials and the benefits and solutions available to enhance their homes. VIA teamed up with Zeno Group to present a comprehensive strategy that includes elements of public relations, online and offline content creation, media buying and more.
“We are thrilled to partner with VIA as our Agency of Record,” said Mara Villanueva-Heras, Vice President of Corporate Marketing at CertainTeed. “Millions of people live, work and play every day in spaces built with our products. We wanted an agency that could raise awareness of our brand to this critical consumer audience—a brand that makes living and working spaces healthier, more comfortable and beautiful, and is backed by a century-long legacy of manufacturing high-quality building products.”
The engagement is scheduled to commence mid-November, and the first work is scheduled to be completed by early 2017.
“We’re experts in uncovering solutions to businesses’ biggest challenges,” said Leeann Leahy, CEO of VIA. “We’re excited to work with CertainTeed’s already well-established brand and help them capture the attention of consumers through effective and captivating campaigns that truly highlight their legacy.”
VIA’s current list of clients includes Perdue Farms, Welch’s, Unilever, T. Rowe Price, Asurion, Stonyfield, L.L.Bean and many more.
