Empower’s longstanding expertise in the home category with clients such as Shaw Floors, Gorilla Glue, Rust-Oleum and Formica played a key role in the decision-making process.

O-Cedar Director of Marketing Mike Esposito agrees that Empower’s experience and prowess reflect how his own brand operates, and he looks forward to growing business with new digital and traditional media tactics.

“As a family-owned company, it is important to O-Cedar that we invest in partners that have the same culture and vision that built our brand,” Esposito says. “With Empower, we immediately felt the chemistry and recognized that they have the skill to back up cutting-edge ideas.”

O-Cedar has dedicated over 100 years to removing the “work” from housework with a constant focus on innovation. This focus, says Empower Chief Client Officer Shaun Ethier, is what the agency admires about the brand and will set the foundation for a successful partnership.

“We are thrilled about the opportunity to work with O-Cedar,” Ethier says. “It’s a natural match with our experience and vision for the O-Cedar brand.”

Widely recognized by its iconic red handle, O-Cedar was the first brand to produce a self-wringing mop, market the first angle broom and introduce the first spray mop to offer both disposable and machine-washable microfiber pads. Innovation is a part of O-Cedar’s history and its dedication allows customers to get the job done quickly, easily and with confidence.
