Client: FENSA (Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme)

FENSA, the UK’s original and most well-known certification scheme for the installation of replacement windows and doors, was at a critical point in its history. The organisation needed to grow, transform and protect the brand in an unpredictable market, against increasing competition.

The brief was to reposition FENSA to strengthen membership value to its 6,000 installer members and to get across the importance to homeowners of choosing a FENSA Approved Installer. And to encourage existing installers to register all their jobs through FENSA.

To achieve this, CMDi delivered an end-to-end brand action plan. This included installer and homeowner research, strategic planning, and full creative implementation, all designed to unlock growth and secure differentiation – as cost-effectively as possible.

Our long experience with both B2B and consumer communications enabled us to create an encompassing proposition for the brand’s target audiences that is true, competitive and distinctive: FENSA is ‘All the proof you need’ of a job done right.

Working with our media planning and buying partners, CMDi developed a highly targeted TV and brand awareness package that will reach homeowners across the UK via social media, digital programmatic and commercial TV channels.

Supporting the TV ad is extensive social media presence, online programmatic advertising, a TV sponsorship package, and a dedicated marketing support package for installers to help them relay the benefits of FENSA to homeowners.

FENSA’s first ever TV ad was carefully designed to highlight to homeowners the importance of asking for a FENSA certificate to ensure compliance with building regulations, driving demand for the need to use FENSA installers. The visual creative platform uses the familiar yellow “sticky note” to reinforce the key message: “remember to ask for a FENSA Certificate”.

Confirm FENSA as the market leaders among installers, raise awareness among homeowners, and provide a platform for long-term, sustainable growth.
