ITW Global Brands | Engaging Automotive Influencers to Elevate Brand Awareness
ITW Global Brands is a leader servicing the auto aftermarket with best-selling car care products and parent company for well-known brands such as Rain-X®, Black Magic®, and Gumout®. In an effort to elevate brand awareness for ITW Global Brand products among prominent automotive influencers, Pierpont invited local Houston influencers to an exclusive tour of the ITW laboratory and test garage. The tour included scientific demonstrations led by R&D staff, as well as interview opportunities with company brand representatives, scientists, and engineers.
The result of Pierpont’s influencer engagement was monumental. In addition to dedicated posts by local influencers, including The Gentleman Racer, West Houston Muscle, GAP Racing, and Garage DLX, Kilmer produced and published a 10-minute video positively discussing ITW Global Brands products. The video went viral – having been viewed more than 344,000 times, receiving 15,000 likes and almost 7,000 comments, and ultimately enhancing brand awareness and helping to sell key Rain-X®, Black Magic®, and Gumout® products.
