Exmark launches video contest
On April 1, Exmark announced the launch of its Take Back Your Weekends video contest, a unique user-generated content initiative that will enable the commercial-grade mower manufacturer to reach and impact consumers in a unique and meaningful manner.
Addressing the universal consumer challenges that is a lack of time, Exmark’s video contest welcomes interested consumers to create and submit a video depicting how they would take back their weekends if more free time for hobbies and leisure pursuits was available.
Backed by a robust, multi-media advertising campaign running nationally throughout the spring and summer months, the contest’s video hub — www.exmark.com/weekends — will be open for submissions through June 30, 2015, as well as house a wealth of entertaining and educational branded video content.
“Taking into account that Exmark competes against 40-plus mower brands that traditionally fight for mindshare predominantly on the basis of durability, speed and quality of cut, we’ve chosen to go to market this year in a manner that focuses on our consumers’ aspirations and personal experiences,” said John Cloutier, senior marketing manager. “Our Take Back Your Weekends video contest is a great tool that will allow us to engage our customers and prospects in a real-world scenario, and to truly listen to what matters most to them in their daily lives.”
Eighteen Contest winners will be chosen to receive prizes, ranging from an Exmark Lazer Z X-Series mower, dream fishing trip with bass fishing superstar Mike Iaconelli, and a golf and spa experience in Augusta, Ga., to high-quality hunt-, fish- and golf-related gear. The contest’s impressive prize packages are provided by industry-leading brands such as Abu Garcia, Berkley, Buck Knives, Grime Boss, Nikon, Rapala, Realtree, ScentLok and VMC.
