Produced and created at Doe-Anderson as a movie trailer for a horror movie befitting of the busiest day of the year for plumbing problems, the dramedy spot lays out the looming terrors of the day while giving a shout out to plumbers everywhere.
Creative director Miles Harvey said, “It's Black Friday to the rest of us but it's Brown Friday in the plumbing trade -- the busiest day of the year for clogs and calls. So obviously it's a huge priority to get Roto-Rooter top-of-mind among homeowners right at that moment in time. This year, we were thinking, what is really topical, particularly as the holiday season kicks off and it hit us: holiday movie trailers. With all the big holiday movies generating buzz right now, what if we make a Brown Friday movie trailer? The catch is, of course, if it's a Brown Friday movie... it's got to be a horror movie. Which perfectly captures our brand voice, brand positioning as the plumbing pros, and the cultural opportunity.”
The social campaign rolls out across platforms this week.
