Bensons for Beds, the leading UK bed and mattress retailer, announces a new 360 campaign by full-service communications agency krow Group, unveiling the brand’s refreshed positioning. The campaign – which marks the first project by krow Group since being appointed as the lead creative agency in July – highlights Bensons for Beds updated focus on its obsession with a good night's sleep.
krow Group was tasked with launching Bensons for Beds latest strategic positioning through a new creative idea, ‘Sleep is our obsession’, as well as driving consideration and awareness. To increase traffic during this key sales period and appeal to comfort-conscious consumers, the campaign emphasises that Bensons for Beds is more than just a bed expert. Its passion for sleep drives the brand to go above and beyond, ensuring everyone can experience the transformative power of better sleep.
To show how Bensons for Beds expert staff obsess over every detail of their sleep craft, the creative focuses on behind the scenes rather than the showroom. Shot in a predominantly white space accented with purple to reflect the brand's identity, the Bensons for Beds team is shown meticulously inspecting beds for quality and value while continually enhancing their ‘beducation’.
The 360 campaign will be rolled out in-store and across TV, radio and social channels, Meta and Pinterest, and will also be supported with influencer activity where content creators will go ‘backstage at Benson's’.
The7stars is the media agency for this campaign.
