Challenge:

The home care and renovation market was crowded, and Thumbtack’s new technology created an opportunity to redefine its role in the category. But first, the brand needed to align on what it stood for: a marketplace, a platform, or something more.

Insight:

Research revealed that Thumbtack’s true value wasn’t just connecting homeowners with pros. It was helping people confidently care for and improve their homes.

Big Idea:

We repositioned Thumbtack as the technology company that helps people get life done. The new messaging platform brought clarity to the brand’s purpose, voice, and role in the future of home care.
