Excel Big on Performance advertising campaign

A broader technical offer
than buyers recognised.

Excel was associated with lower-cost products and smaller installations. That perception did not reflect the capability available for more demanding projects, limiting how the offer was understood.

We put technical performance evidence at the centre of the positioning, then used it to shape campaigns, packaging and sales materials for specifiers and installers.

The strategy in use

The campaign,
carried through.

Excel branded cable packaging
01 / Packaging. The name and graphic system identify the product and connect it to the wider Excel range.
Excel presentation and sales materials
02 / Sales materials. The same message and design language support the conversation with specifiers and installers.

A stronger position.
A more valuable offer.

Across the 20+ year relationship, positioning and creative delivery worked together: advertising introduced the performance message, literature explained the evidence and packaging connected products to the wider range.

Andrew Percival, then Managing Director of Mayflex, described the results in his own words below.
