SCS helps Pfister deliver brand equity for a challenger brand with "Pfits Just Right" brand campaign
To help Pfister faucets drive share of voice and increase market share, indie agency SCS launched a brand campaign that would punch above its weight and carve out a unique space for a strong win in the highly competitive home improvement space. Through the brand roadmap planning process, consumer research, and the in-market performance of previous product campaigns, SCS distilled key learnings and core consumer insights to focus the brand around a positioning that would connect Pfister quality and value to a portfolio of styles as unique as any customer considering a kitchen or bath refresh.
The “Pfits Just Right” creative focused on helping consumers see their world with Pfister in it – from modern to transitional and everything in between.
SCS’ Chief Creative Officer John Zegowitz comments: “Like so many things we buy for our home, our personal worlds, we understood that whether people are renovating or replacing, they’re creating extensions of their own personalities and styles.”
The campaign was all designed around the characters unique styles and situations. From a modern kitchen with a vintage twist, to an artist’s bathroom designed with simplicity in mind, the campaign was built to feature a broad portfolio of unique Pfister designs and match them to a set of unique personalities. Each Pfister design got its own set of creative that also supported the brand, but when they all came together, they worked to create the overarching ethos.
The featured storytelling resulted in spots designed for TV, as well as over 80 assets custom-built for the digital landscape, from social to interactive banners across anywhere a consumer would be looking for inspiration for their kitchen or bath. Leveraging TV for the larger impressions, and geo-fenced creative around key retailers, this campaign delivered on the results: bring attention to DIY home owners, driving consideration and share of voice for Pfister up, across the board.

AICP has announced that an updated template for its Demographic Reporting Initiative is now available. Originally launched in October of 2021, the Demographic Reporting Initiative allows production companies to provide their advertiser and agency clients with insight into the demographic makeup of the people on the crews of their commercials and brand content. As with version 1.0, the 2.0 iteration was prepared in cooperation with a consortium of industry payroll companies. This updated version of the Demographic Reporting initiative has greatly expanded the listing of gender identity categories, and added the ability for production staff to include their veteran status in the U.S. Armed Forces. These reports will provide AICP member production companies with anonymous and voluntarily provided breakdowns on these demographic categories, which can in turn be shared with agencies and advertisers upon request.
