Case Study / Fitz And Floyd
Over the past 50 years, Fitz and Floyd has become a leader in the manufacturing of hand-painted ceramic giftware, dinnerware, tableware, decorative accessories and collectibles.

5W has been tasked with generating consumer-facing media to increase overall awareness and showcase Fitz and Floyd as an up-to-date brand for a new generation of consumers, while still appealing to its original core audience of collectible enthusiasts.
To support Fitz and Floyd as a contemporary brand, 5W has developed and launched an earned media program focusing pairing Fitz and Floyd's items with timely and trend-focused topics to showcase the many facets of the company and introduce the brand to a new consumer. The campaign has fused Fitz and Floyd with its sister company, Maxwell & Williams, a stylish and affordable tabletop brand, in order to further propel the brand into the mainstream consciousness.
To resonate with home savvy individuals, 5W has ideated various unique pitch such as: Color Trends, Barware Updates, Summer Home Entertaining, Wedding Registry, Back to School, National Wine Day and more. In order to further showcase the evolution of the company, 5W has seeded information regarding the company's various trade acquisitions and licensing deals to the media, which ultimately resulted in new conversations with retailers..
