PULVERIZE WEED KILLER 2019 "GIDDY-UP!" CAMPAIGN SNEAK PEEK
"There’s been this murmur in our industry for years asking for a natural alternative to glyphosate, and all the recent news stories have really contributed to a growing chorus for innovation and leadership. MESSINAS is ready to step up with our plans for PULVERIZE." James Messina, VP
WASHINGTON, N.J. (PRWEB) August 15, 2018
MESSINAS®, the maker of PULVERIZE® brand of natural weed killers, today unveiled its 2019 “Giddy-up” campaign that company leadership expects to educate consumers on the availability of effective, natural alternatives to traditional chemical herbicides in a memorable way. The campaign uses the tag line “Don’t try to roundup your weeds. PULVERIZE them” combined with various imagery of the wild west in a stylized approach that should easily resonate with the consumer, professional and agricultural marketplaces.
The new campaign has been in development over the past three years as part of the company’s long term marketing strategy, and as part of the roll out, radio, video and print ads will be supporting the brand message. Recent news regarding the active ingredient glyphosate has consumers and retailers alike questioning the use of the biggest herbicide brands in the world, and while there is no shortage of information on both sides of the debate, one thing is clear: people are looking for an alternative.
“We want people to know that the old way of doing things, you know the whole, ‘because that’s the way it’s always been done’ type of rhetoric, is over,” said James Messina, the Vice President of MESSINAS. “I couldn’t be more proud of what our team has come up with to grab everyone’s attention with this campaign. There’s been this murmur in our industry for years asking for a natural alternative to glyphosate, and all the recent news stories have really contributed to a growing chorus for innovation and leadership. If we have to be the ones to take a shot at educating the marketplace, then MESSINAS is ready to step up with our plans for PULVERIZE.”
As part of the campaign, MESSINAS has committed to a national advertising spend that will incorporate both traditional and digital media outlets, including radio, television and print. In addition, consumers will find signage and mail-in rebates at participating stores that can save them up to $20 on the entire PULVERIZE product line, including ready to use and concentrated formulas. This campaign comes on the heels of the 2018 $1,000,000 give away of PULVERIZE products to retailers across the country that resulted in more than 5,000 stores across the country carrying the brand and offering the products to consumers including Walmart, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, True Value and independent retailers.
