Hanley Wood Announces Napoleon Fireplaces as Marketer of the Year

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hanley Wood, the premier information, media, event, and strategic marketing services company serving the residential, design and commercial construction industries has announced that Napoleon Fireplaces has been selected as the 2018 Brand Builder Awards Marketer of the Year. The award was presented at the Market Leaders Dinner, held yesterday in Las Vegas on February 19, 2019.

"We are thrilled to recognize Napoleon Fireplaces as Marketer of the Year," said Jeff Meyers, CEO of Hanley Wood. "Their comprehensive trade marketing campaign uncovered the emotional connections made with specific areas of the home and provided trade professionals with an in-depth understanding of how space design and corresponding amenities can increase home appeal."

The Marketer of the Year Award is presented annually by Hanley Wood to a company in the residential and commercial construction and design industry that best demonstrates a commitment to innovation, excellence in leveraging marketing programs to drive sales, and adoption of modern marketing tactics.

"Napoleon is immensely honored to have been named the Brand Builder Awards' 2018 Marketer of the Year," said Stephen Schroeter, Co-CEO of Napoleon. "By conducting new research that hadn't previously been explored, we were not only able to gather an enormous amount of content for a fully integrated marketing campaign, but more importantly, we also had the opportunity to provide valuable insights that our industry partners can use to help build their businesses."

"As a company, Napoleon's vision is to inspire and enhance the most memorable experiences people enjoy in their homes," said Dave Brown, partner and account director at Napoleon's marketing agency, Hoffman York. "When developing this campaign, we started with the theory that certain areas of the home, and their accompanying products, contributed more to the quality of life than others. The research we conducted proved this theory true, reflecting homeowners' powerful emotions relating to specific attributes of the home, including fire features. We were able to apply those emotional insights to our marketing campaign, both adding value to Napoleon's customers and ultimately supporting the company's vision."
