KitchenAid & DigitasLBi Launch “Yours For The Making”

In partnership with DigitasLBi Chicago, KitchenAid launches “Yours For The Making,” a new campaign aiming to unify the brand’s 25 product categories of major and small appliances, in an effort to become more well-known for their total kitchen solutions, not just the iconic stand mixer.

A new brand platform idea, embodied by the new tagline ‘Yours for the Making’, celebrates the emotional benefits of making in the kitchen, the beauty of the process rather than merely the end result, and the role KitchenAid plays in empowering passionate makers around the world.

DigitasLBi Chicago, the brand’s media agency of record, was responsible for the strategy, creative and media for “Yours For the Making.”

“For these people, they make food not just to feed themselves and their families, but to feed their soul too. That’s the insight at the heart of this new platform for KitchenAid’s first ‘fridge to frying pan’ approach to communicating the whole brand under one big idea.” – Laura Keeler, SVP/Group Creative Dirctor, DigitasLBi

The video-centric integrated media approach brings the emotion of making to life in environments where makers seek inspiration. The strategy is rooted in balancing reach and relevancy across all channels, including emotionally targeted 6-second video, Pinterest cinematic pins, addressable TV and unique print placements. 

KitchenAid has a portfolio made up of 25 product categories ranging from refrigerators and dishwashers to craft coffee makers, blenders and bakeware. Many are featured in cameo roles throughout the spots, which showcase a variety of reasons for making, as heard by the makers themselves in voice-over. 

“We knew it was time for KitchenAid, a brand that’s so well known and loved by many for its stand mixer, to evolve and mean so much more – not just at a product level but at an emotional level, with its purpose and promise too. And that's totally different for the appliance category, which oftentimes lacks the very passion that draws people into the kitchen in the first place.” – Christy Hoskins, Sr. Brand Manager, KitchenAid
