SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwired) -- 12/16/14 -- Speakman, the premier maker of high-performance showerheads and bathroom fixtures, has named Rally as its advertising agency of record.
Founded in 1869, Speakman invented the first shower as an alternative to tub bathing. In the decades since, Speakman has been a leading supplier of bathroom fixtures to the hospitality, designer, and contractor markets, as well as a leading supplier of products (such as eye washes and decontamination showers) to industry.
Speakman has selected Rally as its partner in refreshing and re-introducing the brand to both new and existing audiences through a completely revamped web presence and advertising campaigns in support of new product rollouts throughout 2015.
"Recognizing that our strong brand heritage resonates with a loyal and growing customer base, we also realized that the time is right for Speakman to engage with audiences even more dynamically in every channel, from the web to social," said Speakman Head of Marketing Kristin Barclay. "We are pleased to be working with Rally to bring our brand to even broader and more diverse audiences in the months to come."
"There's no juicier assignment as an agency than to work with a stalwart brand that has a big appetite for creativity and change," added Kelly Parriott, president of Rally, "and when it's a brand such as Speakman, that comes ready-made with a history of integrity and innovation, you have tons of fertile soil from which to grow big ideas."
Rally, headquartered in Seattle and with offices in Portland and Dallas, is establishing an East Coast presence to service Speakman.
