DigitasLBi Proves Every Act of Care Counts for Whirlpool

Whirlpool, in partnership with DigitasLBi, has just launched a new multi-million dollar integrated campaign that aims to change the perception of how people view the daily chores necessary to care for their family: Every day, care.

Breaking away from what you normally see in appliance category marketing, the campaign is not about machine efficiency or a flashy new feature. The Every day, care campaign leverages new insights (with research from a behavioral psychologist at Brown University) around the attitudes and effects of chores like laundry, cooking, and cleaning, and their role in family life. 

The thought: While simple chores may seem insignificant, and even tedious, simple acts of care play a huge role in shaping the people we love and the world we live in. As a brand that provides the tools and support we need to do these chores, Whirlpool’s Every day, care campaign pays tribute to what it takes to care, every day – and how these simple acts impact society. From clean clothes improving truancy rates, to family dinners developing better reading skills, acts of everyday care have more power than people ever give them credit.

This is Whirlpool’s largest brand campaign to date, and also features print ads, a new microsite, social media, digital display, and more TV launching soon. For digital, media partners include: Audience on Demand (DBM, AOP & FBX programmatic), Facebook, House Beautiful, Upworthy, Crowdtap, YouTube, Good Housekeeping, and Viewpoints.
