The campaign launched the Delta Pilar kitchen faucet with Touch2O Technology by demonstrating its unique functionality.

The ad’s copy (Sometimes your hands could use a hand) and music brought more life to the problem. The campaign resulted in a dramatic increase in sales and tens of thousands of views on YouTube. The TV ad was also recognized by Ace Metrix as among the most effective ads in 2009.
