SUMMARY
In 2014, Benjamin Moores independent retailers were losing faith in the brand and the corporate marketing department. Retailers had to sell premium paint in a commoditized category against competitors with huge marketing budgets. By creating a two-pronged campaign that touted product truths and retailer paint expertise (backed by a large media buy) Benjamin Moore improved retailer confidence in the company. Retailers tagged 3936% more corporate-produced TV commercials for their own use YOY, and those who joined the corporate marketing effort saw sales increases of 15% YOY on average.
