Troy-Bilt hikes its ad budget up 50% from 2008 to $1.8 million, springing for a folksy little tune called “Shinin’ Down”, which can be heard in its ads or on hold with its tech team. Download it for free at troybilt.com.
The ad itself is a modern nod to a young and trendy generation of gardeners, which I guess downloads MP3s in addition to steering tractors with a grin. It will appear nationwide across popular networks, including HGTV and DIY. This is Troy-Bilt’s first TV push in five years.
Feels authentic. Don’t you just wanna race outside and fertilize something? (*checks pocketwatch*) Still plenty of time left in the day to indulge that inclination.
