The Challenge


Terrain has been a trusted drainage brand for nearly 60 years, widely used in commercial construction. But research showed a disconnect between older and younger engineers. While established professionals continued to specify Terrain, younger engineers lacked the same affinity with the brand. 

With new challenges around sustainability, building safety and compliance, Terrain needed to modernise its positioning to stay relevant. The challenge was to reframe the brand as an innovative, forward-thinking leader, reassuring existing users while attracting the next generation of engineers.

 

The Response

We created a campaign that balanced heritage and innovation, positioning Terrain as a brand built for the future.

A bold creative and messaging framework highlighted Terrain’s expertise, evolving product innovations and commitment to solving modern challenges. 

An engaging, accessible white paper educated younger engineers, while PR, digital ads and social content reinforced Terrain’s authority and problem-solving approach.

The campaign exceeded lead generation targets by 200%, securing a multi-million-pound sales pipeline.
