Challenge
FLOOD® Wood Care, which offers a variety of products to clean, strip and stain exterior wood, needed to gain consumers' attention without the benefit of a large advertising spend.
Insight
Research showed that DIYers tend to dread exterior wood maintenance, partly because they perceive these projects as intimidating. Most competitive brands offered little guidance, leaving untapped opportunities to engage these consumers.
