The campaign launched the Delta Pilar kitchen faucet with Touch2O Technology by
demonstrating its unique functionality. The campaign included print and online
ads, and a television commercial that showcased the faucet as a solution to the
everyday problem of messy hands turning on the faucet. The ad’s copy (Sometimes
your hands could use a hand) and music brought more life to the problem. The
campaign resulted in a dramatic increase in sales and tens of thousands of views
on YouTube. The TV ad was also recognized by Ace Metrix as among the most
effective ads in 2009.
