EXECUTIVE SUMMARY COMING FULL CIRCLE

Greatness begins with a tiny spark of inspiration. Francis Harrington Glidden possessed one such spark when he launched a tiny furniture and piano varnish company, out of his Cleveland home in 1875. Francis’ early persistence and vision allowed his company to evolve into the national paint company it is today, providing millions of people with the chance to initiate their own projects and means of self-expression.

Glidden’s journey has lit a spark of inspiration for us at Circle Advertising. We reside in Orange County, and represent a hodgepodge of demographics and experiences with one thing in common: the love of storytelling. Each year the National Student Advertising Competition has been an opportunity to embrace this love and break boundaries to ensure our client’s story is told.

We first worked with paint three years ago in our ‘Feel Free’ campaign for State Farm. In bringing our ‘Get Covered’ promotion to life, we literally covered 500 Chapman students with paint. The next year we learned about in-store activations for our retail client j.c. penny. Last year, our NSAC client Nissan asked us to create a $100 million campaign for multicultural millennial Americans.

At Circle Advertising, our previous campaigns are not just our history, but sources of insight: Promotions with paint, In-store activations, Multicultural marketing.

By telling your story, we hope to share just a tiny spark of inspiration with your customers. We are Circle Ad and, like Glidden, we work toward greatness.

HEY YOU, WANNA TAKE A SURVEY? PROBLEM STATEMENT

TARGET AUDIENCES

Though Glidden’s brand recognition has increased since the launch in 2009 of "Glidden Gets You Going," Glidden faces intense competition within the decorative paints category. An exclusive partnership with Walmart will leverage Glidden as the most widely distributed paint brand, but large perceptual gaps in quality, knowledge, and service within Walmart stores serve as barriers to consideration and purchase among our three target audiences.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES Define the gap between Glidden’s performance within Walmart stores and the benefits sought by target audiences.

The Challenge: Walmart for Paint for the Walmart Shopper

Determine the motivation behind starting DIY projects and the need to purchase paint.

To develop an integrated campaign that tailors the Glidden brand voice to the Walmart shopper in order to build recognition and instill trust in the Glidden Brilliance Collection.

Examine consumer attitudes and perceptions regarding the Glidden brand and Walmart as a paint retailer.

We conducted primary research to tackle brand obstacles and create an encompassing message that resonates with Glidden’s three target audiences. Through surveys, focus groups, interviews, and observations, we examined their general brand perceptions, lifestyle preferences, behaviors, and values. These insights shape the direction of our campaign.

808 General Insight Surveys Survey respondents from 41 states

PRIMARY| Opportunists

SECONDARY | Enthusiasts

TERTIARY | Traditionalists

These value-driven multicultural families are frequent Walmart and Walmart paint prospects, making them the primary focus of our campaign.

They are driven to make large impacts through minimal investments. Life changes present opportunities for DIY projects and small room makeovers.

Purchasing triggers such as promotions and discounts within Walmart stores strengthen consideration. Shopping is a family affair, and they are driven by improving the livelihood of their family.

Female millennial DIYers are current Walmart shoppers who seek value purchases to meet their budget constraints. They aim to add a personal touch to their surroundings, but are the least experienced with painting.

Inspiration is the driving force behind their motivation to get started, but confidence is the key to help them complete a project.

These older, Caucasian homeowners typically shop at Walmart for the low prices on everyday basics, but are loyal to The Home Depot when it comes to purchasing paint. They are the most experienced with home decor projects, but are driven by maintenance and practicality rather than inspiration.

RESEARCH

HEY YOU, WANNA TAKE A SURVEY? ROMPE

BARRIERS

Before establishing the big idea, Circle Advertising immersed in a unique process that allowed us to connect with our target audiences and break through the barriers.

Rompe, (pronounced rome-peh), derived from the Spanish word "to break," is a creative process in which we analyzed research data, the paint market, current industry trends, and creative executions.

Limited Home Improvement Channel Advocacy

WEAK BRAND RECOGNITION

LACK OF TRUST

Opportunists, Enthusiasts, and Traditionalists are unable to identify the Glidden brand position within the paint market.

The negative perception of the atmosphere and service within Walmart stores creates skepticism regarding the quality of Glidden paints.

Exclusive partnerships between competitive brands such as Behr within The Home Depot and Valspar within Lowe’s overshadow Glidden within this distribution channel.

“The Glidden name sounds familiar, but I don’t know much about it.”

“I don’t mind shopping at Walmart for the little things, but I don’t know if I could trust the quality of paint sold there.”

“I would use Behr because my family has always used them.”

Katie, 24

Each member of Circle Advertising absorbed the visual inspiration presented on 44 research boards and 2 interactive stations. The true nature of Glidden and Walmart’s brand identity, history, target audiences and future all came together as we developed insights that would be the cornerstones of our campaign. The ideas inspired during Rompe kicked off a four-day brainstorm session which would define the creative direction for our big idea.

By building upon Glidden’s current "Glidden Gets You Going" campaign, we will tailor our message to impact our target audiences: Paula, Gabby, and Mary. After conducting in-depth research into the brand preferences among these consumers, we determined that companies with a defined purpose have higher brand loyalty resulting in profit potential. This realization began our pursuit to identify Glidden’s brand purpose.

Paula, Gabby, and Mary live in a cycle of influence between their heritage, experiences, and the world that surrounds them.

Memories and experiences create waves of inspiration that are reflected in their self-expression. They seek to make meaningful impacts in their lives through simple acts, and Glidden provides the tools for this expression, while Walmart provides the opportunity.

In this pursuit, we came across Simon Sinek, the creator of The Golden Circle and author of Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action. Sinek believes that every brand must communicate starting with why–a motivating factor that gives purpose to a brand’s existence. The Golden Circle is a visual representation of this communication strategy which begins from the inside out. Brands must first define their why in order to determine their how and what.

With our research insights and The Golden Circle in mind, we determined that Glidden differentiates itself by believing "selfexpression fosters human connection and enriches the present moment."

The big idea KIND OF A BIG DEAL

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE COLOR? We asked this seemingly simple question to our 808 survey respondents and received over 250 unique responses ranging from "napa-diner-orange" to "tahiti-island-blue." It’s these unique responses that lead us to identify why color matters to our survey respondents.

For Paula, Gabby, and Mary, a simple 8-pack of crayons doesn’t cut it. Their favorite colors bring to life the seaside views from the first family road trip down the Pacific Coast Highway.

These small moments work to shape individuality and serve as inspiration for self-expression. When picking a favorite color, it’s choosing a medium to convey character, personality, and heritage. Color is a way to create, transform, enrich, inspire, and connect with the world around them.

With this driving force, Circle Advertising found a way to communicate this intentional repurposing of memory, experience and self-expression. Our big idea? "Echo."

To communicate the concept of Echo to Paula, Gabby, and Mary, we developed our creative vision, greatness starts small.

The best way for Echo to stay consistent with Walmart brand messaging is to reinforce value as a priority. It’s about the little, everyday, actions that make a visible impact over time. Glidden provides the tools to transform a space into something more representative of Paula, Gabby, and Mary’s personality, while Walmart provides the opportunity.

Paint beyond your walls

HONEY, LET’S JUST ASK FOR DIRECTIONS To spark inspiration within Paula, Gabby, and Mary, generate awareness of Walmart as a viable paint retailer, and build trust in the Glidden Brilliance Collection, creative executions will convey a fresh, wholesome, yet bold tone. Our targeted five-month campaign will be a strategic in-store effort across 120 Walmart stores in 17 markets that: energizes the Walmart customer by introducing them to the Glidden and Walmart partnership, engages them with Glidden through interactive programs, and finally, establishes trust in the Glidden Brilliance Collection.

The fact that this partnership came out as a surprise to us made it feel as if it was a sign: There was no better way to start this campaign than with a huge in-store partnership and promotion with The Good Dinosaur.

With the backing of a brand such as Disney, Glidden will attract and bring awareness to young families and other target audiences, while also strengthening Glidden’s recent alignment with the Disney Paint Collection exclusive to Walmart. Pixar’s broad range of appeal makes The Good Dinosaur ideal for a partnership that garners national awareness, but with punctuated in-store engagement of Paula, Gabby, and Mary.
