Hawthorne Direct, a full service brand response advertising agency, has produced new one and two-minute commercials in conjunction with PJA Advertising for Brother International Corporation. PJA Advertising was responsible for the creative. The announce-ment was made today by Chief Operations Officer Jessica Hawthorne-Castro, Hawthorne Direct.
Entitled “Nobody Said,” the new spot depicts a man carefully reviewing an assortment of printers at his local office electronics retail store. He stops in front of a new product–the “Business Smart Inkjet All in One” printer from Brother. The voice over announcer says, “It’s the ultimate combination – Fast print speed, small size, and low cost printing.” The spot continues to showcase the variety of special features offered by the new printer, including increased productivity, smaller footprint size and landscape printing technology. The new machine connects wirelessly and offers users the ability to print directly from their mobile devices.

Regarding the new campaign, Marketing Communications Manager Mike Wanzie, for Brother International Corporation, said, “The campaign that PJA and Hawthorne created for us has been successful and effective. We are pleased with the results from this campaign and we look forward to continued innovative and accountable advertising ventures in the future.”
Adds Account Supervisor Hanna Adams of PJA Advertising: “We worked in tandem with Hawthorne Direct on this new Brother campaign because of their accomplished brand response television track record in drive to retail marketing. We also sought to involve them, since their production expertise was a compatible fit with our creative approach.”
Hawthorne Direct COO Hawthorne-Castro said, “While we are best known for offering full-service brand campaigns to our clients, including creative, production, media placement and detailed analytic sales results, we also enjoy producing campaigns that come to us directly from other creative agencies. We have a terrific relationship with PJA Advertising, who brought this new Brother assignment to us because they trusted our drive to retail expertise and our renowned production capabilities.”
Neil Gabriel, Executive Producer, Hawthorne Direct adds, “Brother had successfully launched a :30 Brand campaign with PJA earlier in the year. So when it came to creating a new DRTV and retail response campaign, PJA reached out to nearly 20 different production companies to find that right partner. We won out. I credit much of that win to the due diligence of PJA as well as our industry wide reputation and experience that Hawthorne Direct enjoys. I also believe it was our ability to bring together a talented team of production and visual effects artists that was able to provide the same high level of production value that Brother and PJA were accustomed to. In the end, we were able to create a campaign that would help our client successfully raise the consumer’s awareness of their new product.”
