Swiffer aimed to capture the attention of millennial males by shifting their traditional marketing approach towards engaging the Toronto Raptors fan base. To achieve this, Swiffer launched the "Certified for the Raptors Hardwood" campaign, integrating brand messaging through in-venue, digital, and social touchpoints. The campaign featured marquee floor sweepers used in-game and a content series featuring  Raptors player Amir Johnson teaching fans how to use Swiffer products. This comprehensive approach heightened brand awareness, increased brand reputation, and drove purchase intent among the new target audience.​

THE PROBLEM

Despite its strong product lineup, Swiffer struggled to resonate with millennial males, a key demographic for expanding their market presence.​

THE ASK

Drive awareness and consideration of Swiffer among millennial males by integrating the brand into the excitement and fandom of the Toronto Raptors.​

CREATIVE INSIGHT

Just as players take pride in the hardwood they play on; fans can take pride in the hardwood in their homes.​

THE IDEA

Certified For the Raptors Hardwood - an integrated marketing program that spoke to fans through every Raptors touchpoint. If it wasn’t related to hardwood, we didn’t talk about it.​
