A success story in cutting through the clutter. 

Competing with established brands like Stihl and Husqvarna, ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment is outspent 20:1 for every media dollar it spends. In fact, the brand is the 12th largest producer of outdoor power equipment in the world.  You need to say something interesting in an interesting way to break through. And thats just what we did. 

As a result, sales were up triple digits year over year and the company sold the equipment at a rate faster than they could produce it. 

The campaign quickly grew ECHO’s social media presence from a few hundred fans to over 17,000 in a few months and won a Gold Effie is 2013 for overall campaign effectiveness.
