Roto-Rooter unclogs drains to let love flow

Creative agency Doe-Anderson is turning up the heat on Valentine’s Day with a sweet salute to the unsung heroes of Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup (because, evidently, nothing says romance quite like the plumber).

In a new social campaign, the chain prompts consumers to forget the chocolates and roses this year and show one’s appreciation for those who handle the not-so-romantic plumbing problems in life.

Miles Harvey, vice-president and group creative director at Doe-Anderson, commented: “Fixing a plumbing problem is always going to be a grudge purchase so a big part of our Roto-Rooter social strategy is to inject some pleasure into people's relationship with the brand — especially by tapping into beloved cultural moments in clever ways. Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity for that kind of brand-building. Because it’s all about love. And if there’s one thing people don’t love, it’s calling a plumber.”
