Sentinel

Drain Guards — Always-On Social Media

01The story

Overview

Sentinel Drain Guards wanted to grow awareness and credibility in their category. We partnered with them for a 4-month always-on social media engagement, creating content, writing copy, posting, and managing their digital presence. To amplify reach, we tapped into the trusted voice of Mike Holmes, Canada’s best-known contractor, whose endorsement added authority to the brand story.

Custom asset design that gave the brand a polished, professional look.

Copywriting and content scheduling to keep posts consistent and easy to understand.
