Laying the Foundation

GETTING AN INNOVATIVE PRODUCT MANUFACTURER OFF THE GROUND

  • Brand positioning, brand key messages, website copy

  • Marketing plan and budget

  • Design of graphic standards, templates, graphic applications, marketing collaterals

  • Website: design direction, layout, copy, project management

  • Launch PR campaign

Oomph was engaged to set up UnitiWall’s marketing infrastructure and execute a launch campaign. This involved formulating a brand strategy and a unique language to differentiate the company and its product. It also included the creation of a comprehensive marketing plan and budget, the development of sales and promotional materials, and the design and implementation of a launch strategy along with a public relations campaign. We commenced work in mid-January, and UnitiWall officially launched in mid-June.

 A primary goal was to set UnitiWall’s product apart from the numerous wall panels in the market, and to generate anticipation for a product that would only be produced and installed two years later. We accomplished this by employing witty yet illustrative language that underscored UnitiWall’s unique attributes - its superior thermal performance and the ability to be completely customized for each project. The website’s graphic platform was designed to stand out from typical product websites, while still delivering all the necessary information.

 From its inception, UnitiWall has made a substantial impact in the market. The company is currently producing the wall panels for the much-anticipated Academic Wood Tower at the University of Toronto. This structure is set to become Canada’s tallest mass-timber building once it’s inaugurated.

“We presented Oomph with the challenging task of creating a comprehensive brand framework and marketing infrastructure within five months of the official launch of our company, UnitiWall. Our goal was to launch and distinguish UnitiWall’s products as a unique, innovative, high-performing, and sustainable solution in the crowded curtain wall market.

We are very pleased with the results and recommend Oomph as a creative partner for anyone in the building construction industry. Thank you to Johanna and her team, who were fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. ” — John Sopta, CEO, UnitiWall Corporation
