Winning locally for America's #1 lawn care company meant transforming national awareness into localized action. We applied advanced data modeling with CRM and email marketing data to uncover unique prospect segments and their specific needs. We deployed tailored performance creative alongside a localization strategy that reinforced TruGreen’s regional expertise, driving measurable improvement in response rates. Through actionable insights and targeted deployment, we successfully unlocked their next stage of growth at scale.

Challenge

Drive higher response and customer growth through smarter targeting and creative

Even the nation's #1 lawn care brand faces fierce competition at the local level, where homeowners are often tempted by neighborhood providers. To overcome this local skepticism and engage audiences unresponsive to evergreen messaging, they needed a strategy that would cut through the chaos of the media landscape. By applying our forensic planning framework, we pinpointed high-value audience cohorts and replaced one-size-fits-all ads with customized creative. We balanced TruGreen's national brand authority with localized performance media to break through the noise.

Solution

Make a national brand feel like the smartest option with an authentice local context

Authentic Local Messaging That Wins
We reframed TruGreen’s national #1 authority with a local lens — integrating location-based data so every touchpoint felt like it came from a neighbor, not a national brand.

Data Modeling to Unlock New Segments
We surfaced and tested potential prospect segments with distinct needs where evergreen messaging was falling short

Tailored Creative Built to Scale
Custom creative for each segment spoke directly to what they cared about. Golf enthusiasts. DIY homeowners.

Testing New Format and creative
New direct mail formats were tested and optimized alongside creative — turning winning concepts into new controls that delivered YOY performance improvement.
