Project Overview
Despite being the world’s largest building materials company and literally being everywhere, most people didn’t recognize the name Saint-Gobain. This was a problem since Saint-Gobain identified North America as a critical growth region. Saint-Gobain needed to increase brand awareness and improve perception as a forward-thinking and socially responsible company in order to generate sustainable, profitable growth.
Details
Saint-Gobain, predominantly a b2b brand, saw a unique opportunity to change its low level of brand awareness among key stakeholders, including consumers in North America by leveraging its 350th anniversary to create a yearlong program, “350 Reasons to Believe in the Future,” that would revolve primarily around a never-before-seen global exhibition called “Future Sensations.” Our PR approach promoted the exhibition in North America through paid, earned, shared and owned media helping people realize how the brand has impacted their lives this whole time and building affinity with a new generation.
