Home Depot

Challenge:

  • Create and secure a weekly spot for The Home Depot representative to demonstrate home improvement projects and products on a regular scheduled news program in the Florida market, including the Hispanic market.

  • Establish The Home Depot as the retail store of choice for home improvement projects, where the employees are helpful and the products are high quality and affordable for all homeowners.

  • Drive sales.

Approach:

  • Secured interest from target markets for a television spot for a home improvement segment, courtesy of The Home Depot, and converted that segment into a weekly spot.

  • Carefully interviewed and personally selected The Home Depot associates to audition for a regular television spot, taking note of appearance, knowledge and charisma of the personality to portray a positive image of the store, employees and products.

Results:

  • Secured a weekly segment for The Home Depot in the highest-rated Hispanic morning show seen in Miami. Segments are also broadcast nationally (LA, Chicago, New York, Orlando) and internationally (Latin America, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic).

  • Secured a biweekly television spot for The Home Depot on a popular Orlando morning show and a bimonthly segment on a highly rated Tampa morning show.
