Juno AI

Product Launch

Situation

Juno, an Acuity Brands company, was entering the smart home tech market with the launch of an innovative family of smart downlights – including the flagship product Juno AI Speaker Light with Alexa Built-In. This was the company’s first high tech home product targeting two new audiences for the brand – consumers and home builders.

The agency designed and deployed multiple campaigns from teasing audiences at the new CES show to engaging home tech aficionados, home builders, media and influences during the official launch campaign. Our ultimate goal was to introduce and build brand for Juno AI among both the consumer and trade audiences.

Strategies

Building awareness with earned media

From national tech media to building trades, the media raved about this new, innovative product.

Featured coverage included: TechCrunch, The Verge, Android Police, GadgetFlow, Qualified Remodeler and The Architect’s Newspaper.

Using paid media strategically

From native advertising on Houzz and Builder to display ads and email marketing, the agency applied its strategic media buying, planning and creative skill sets to continue to build awareness for Juno AI using paid media.

Tapping influencers

We engaged tech gurus and home decor influencers to tell the Juno AI story from different perspectives — a hot new tech product and a home aesthetics and ambiance story.

Results
