APSP Taps Planit as Agency of Record for Consumer Campaign
Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) August 06, 2015 -- The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP) announces that Planit is its agency of record for a new consumer outreach campaign.
Planit will raise consumer awareness about the benefits of pools, hot tubs and spas through a new integrated marketing campaign called Escape. The campaign spans across a variety of channels including print advertisements, a microsite, experiential trade show marketing and PR and digital media support. In addition to garnering consumer awareness, the effort also unites manufacturers and dealers behind the common goal of promoting the industry on a national scale.
“We came to Planit looking to refresh our message with breakthrough creative, attracting not only the attention of consumers, but the industry as a whole,” said APSP President and CEO Rich Gottwald. “We’re looking forward to a long-term partnership with Planit, which has already proved to be invaluable to us. The Escape campaign is unlike anything we’ve communicated in the past and will undoubtedly support us in making a splash on behalf of the industry in 2015 and 2016.”
“We’re excited to lead a revolution for The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals, an organization that has been a leading voice for the pool and spa industry for more than 50 years,” said Sarah Quackenbush, director of client engagement at Planit. “I’m confident our partnership will bring pools, spas and hot tubs back to where they belong—the forefront of consumers’ minds as well as their backyards.”
Escape will entice potential pool and spa owners to transform their backyards into their own staycation havens. The creative, which will display a wide range of images such as tropical paradises confined within backyard pools and spas, will be published nationally across print and digital channels throughout 2015 and 2016. The campaign will launch at the International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo in Las Vegas, November 10–12, 2015.
