Maid Brigade — a residential and commercial cleaning franchise with over 280 locations across the United States and Canada known for its eco-friendly PUREcleaning system — as launched a summer advertising campaign titled 'Imagine... Putting Down the Mop and Picking Up Where You Left Off.' Through this marketing venture, the brand encourages consumers to reclaim their time by outsourcing household chores and focusing on meaningful moments with family and friends.
Maid Brigade's latest campaign builds on the 'Sounds of Not Cleaning' concept, using digital advertisements, social media content, and an ASMR-inspired video to contrast the noise of vacuums and mops with the joyful sounds of summer — from waves crashing and children splashing to birds chirping and laughter at barbecues.
To support this initiative, Maid Brigade is promoting online gift certificates that can be purchased and redeemed nationwide for professional cleaning services.
