With warmer weather on the horizon and the first signs of Spring making an appearance in gardens, Evergreen Garden Care’s latest £3.5 million TV advertising and multimedia marketing campaign is designed to communicate the key messages and product benefits of the company’s most tried and trusted brands to millions of consumers across the country.
The TV campaign supports Evergreen Garden Care’s powerhouse brands, Miracle-Gro® and Roundup® and will run from late March until the middle of June. The key messaging that runs across all four adverts is that with the help of these well-known brands you can unlock the love of the garden by creating a green oasis for all to enjoy whatever the occasion.
The TV schedule includes a wide mix of TV channels including ITV, Channel 4 and various Sky channels. The ads will run between popular programmes such as Emmerdale, Jonathan Ross and The Voice and key sporting events such as Formula One, The Euro Qualifiers and some Premier League matches.
The TV advertising is part of Evergreen Garden Care’s multi-platform consumer campaign for 2019, which includes PR, print, social media, video on demand, SEO, PPC and engaging in-store POS and displays all focused on converting consumer interest into sales.
Ann-Marie O’Riordan, Marketing Director UK and Ireland, Evergreen Garden Care, commented: “Following the success of previous TV campaigns, we are once again investing in our core brands to enable retailers to take advantage of increased sales, particularly over the Easter break and May Bank holidays.
'All the creative will focus on the end benefit of our product range. This category has been too focused on the functional product benefits and we need to improve our connections with our consumers, who are motivated by creating their beautiful green oasis, to share wonderful moments in the garden with their loved ones.
'With the high level of investment in this year’s campaign, which focuses on both our established powerhouse brands such as Miracle-Gro® and Roundup® and our most recent innovations, we will continue to drive footfall into our retailers and convert consumer interest and awareness into more sales for them.”
The hero products featured in the TV adverts are the new Roundup Speed Ultra non-glyphosate weedkiller, Roundup for Lawns, Miracle-Gro® Evergreen® 4in1 Complete Lawn Treatment and Miracle-Gro® Liquid Plant Food with added natural growth stimulant, Humifirst. The lawn treatment adverts will run from end of March until 31st April, whilst the plant food adverts will run from 15th April to 27th May and Roundup® from 15th April until 16th June.
To support the consumer media campaign Evergreen Garden Care’s www.Lovethegarden.com consumer advice website will also be re-launched at the end of April with improved content and product advice to help consumers select the correct product and to use it with confidence.
