SUMMARY
With diehard loyalty to legacy brands in the fire category, and an audience set in their ways, we needed to get firefighters who routinely put their lives on the line to trust TECGEN, a new brand of protective gear. Lack of brand trust aside, we also had to overcome the fact that TECGEN is three times more expensive. Taking an unconventional approach at the largest industry tradeshow got buzz, trial and impressive results. 86% increase in leads, a sales increase of 43%, and a leading competitor cited the overall brand as one of their deciding factors for acquiring the brand.
