New TV ad campaign from Humboldt Redwood brings focus to the natural beauty that redwood brings to any building or landscaping project

WINDSOR, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Humboldt Redwood, based in Windsor, Calif, has recently launched a new television advertising campaign showcasing the natural beauty, design value, and quality of redwood.

Working with barrettSF, Humboldt Redwood created a series of :15 and :30 second spots that focus on the advantages of using redwood, both indoors and outdoors, in home design. These spots started airing on Memorial Day throughout the Western United States and can be seen on cable networks such as ESPN, CNN, HGTV and A&E, as well as during live sporting events including MLB baseball games and NFL pre-season. The campaign will run through September.

The campaign, titled “Just Redwood”, hopes to inspire West Coast consumers, architects, contractors, and landscape designers and present the natural beauty of the wood in both indoor and outdoor settings. The campaign also features a variety of redwood products, such as timbers, posts, beams and finish-grade lumber.

“The ‘Just Redwood’ campaign is designed to showcase the beauty of redwood as a versatile building material,” said Jessica Hewitt, Director of Marketing for Humboldt Redwood. “The campaign’s simplicity lets viewers see the product for what it is, a naturally beautiful, California resource. The campaign is also a really great way to get people to think about redwood in a greater capacity than just decks.”

One of the lightest, yet structurally strong, natural wood species found in North America, redwood can be used in a wide variety of designs. Redwood also has excellent strength and durability, shrinks and swells less than other woods, and is less likely to warp or split. Each piece of redwood lumber is naturally unique, with its own grain, color and texture.
