CINCINNATI (May 3, 2021) – The leading global consumer goods company, Newell Brands, names Empower its US Media AOR. While Newell is comprised of 25 well-known brands, Empower will first focus on Rubbermaid®, Calphalon®, FoodSaver ®, Sharpie®, Ball ® and Paper Mate®.

“We’re looking forward to working with Empower, The Un-Holding Company,” said Emily Bavaro, VP Marketing Operations & Ecommerce Marketing. “We appreciate Empower’s audience-first, data-driven approach to planning, creation and activation. Their level of sophistication and experience in this area will enable us to harness all of our brand’s data points and use them in meaningful ways,” she said.
Empower’s approach consists of combining 1st and 3rd party data, primary research, syndicated research and Fast Data from search, social and web analytics to create a detailed map of the consumer journey. Empower then applies specialized market insights to identify the main opportunities to engage consumers throughout that journey – at the right places, times and with the right message.
