Meet Mr Proud: a plumber’s ego that sold pipe relining to a nation.

A character-led brand campaign that taught a market what pipe relining is, then made it ask for a quote.

The specimen

Nuflow is a pipe relining company with 40+ franchisees across Australia and genuinely exceptional technology.

§ 02

The problem

Nobody knew the brand, and most people didn’t know pipe relining existed. Nuflow needed awareness and education in the same breath.

§ 03

The experiment

Our iQ creative ideation process produced ‘Mr Proud’: a character built on one of Nuflow’s key target personas.

The campaign used storytelling and humour to make people remember the brand and understand the product, through the line from TV to digital.

Results

“The Marketing Lab is the approved marketing agency for Nuflow. I work with them for my Google Ads and Facebook advertising, and have always found them to be helpful and willing to explain things when I’ve needed. I’ve been happy with the results of my campaigns, and would recommend them to other franchisees who are looking for marketing help.”

How we work now

Same method, better memory

The work above came from the way we’ve always worked: a hypothesis first, then the numbers. Today that runs through LabOS, our own platform, which keeps every result on file so the next campaign starts from what we already know.
