Philosophy Don't bore them with ads about work equipment. Make them a movie they'll love and use it to advertise the products.

Builders' wholesalers know what their customers want. So when we married the brand up with sex and made a product demo movie that doubled as a short porn flick, they loved it.
Problem Make wholesalers selling to tradesmen remember Scruffs, a new brand of safety boot and workwear.
Result This activity helped Scruffs double the number of UK stockists from 1,000 to 2,000. Sales have since tripled.
