Chem-Dry Tabs Michael Walters Advertising (MWA) to Create New Brand Identity

    CHICAGO, IL, March 03, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Chem-Dry, the world's leading carpet cleaner with over 2,000 locally-owned franchises in the U.S., has called upon Chicago-based Michael Walters Advertising (MWA), to develop a new brand identity that will focus on the healthy and innovative method of Chem-Dry's service.

Based on consumer research done over the last year, MWA worked with the Chem-Dry team to develop and implement a strategic creative and marketing communications program to support their vision of healthier carpet cleaning.

The new tagline MWA developed, "Your Healthy Home Starts Here," utilizes Chem-Dry's method of using a green-certified solution and the power of carbonation to deliver a deeper, healthier carpet cleaning.

"The consumer research revealed what the customer was really looking for, a safe and non-toxic solution for families and pets. The communications program that we will be executing will resonate with the public and help drive the message to another level," said Jim Lake, principal at MWA.

MWA created a brand strategy and built a platform to deliver the message via custom photography, print, direct mail, digital, mobile and outdoor media.

The marketing plan will focus on traditional and digital advertising to deliver Chem-Dry's message that a clean, healthy home is a happy home. MWA is currently preparing to launch three media programs for Chem-Dry in mobile, social and direct mail marketing.
