The problem

ActronAir is a large Australian air conditioning manufacturer with a national footprint, but the brand is stronger in some regions than others. North Queensland was one of the areas where they wanted a bigger profile.

The marketing and sales team were tasked with generating more demand across the Cairns and Townsville region. That meant advertising that produced genuine new customer enquiries, which could then be handed to ActronAir's dealers on the ground.

What we did

ActronAir's sales and marketing team built the offer: extremely competitive pricing on the supply and install of split system units across the region. Michael Morgan of the North Queensland Cowboys fronted the campaign, backed by above-the-line media. We handled the performance digital side.
