Gerdau forges branding with national ad campaign

In a world covered in steel, Gerdau has built a unique reputation in its industry. Their diverse product range, dedication to customer needs and environmental approach to production are second to none. Gerdau is the leading producer of long steel in the Americas and a top supplier of specialty long steel worldwide. They are also one of the largest recyclers of steel and a member of the U.S. Green Building Council.

With more than a century of experience, Gerdau wanted to communicate their commitment to innovation, quality, recycling and our local communities so they engaged Schifino Lee to produce a national advertising campaigntargeting the steel industry. Schifino Lee was pleased to help Gerdau tell its story and interpreted their Global brand for the US Market.

The resulting campaign consisted of print advertising that highlights how Gerdau “helps build dreams” through examples of their work including San Diego’s New Central Library, a massive 140-foot-tall, 294,673 square foot structure made of glass and 6,650 tons of Gerdau steel. Over 85 percent of the steel used to build the library came from recycled materials that were melted down from scrap metal and reformed into high-quality rebar. Another ad highlights Gerdau’s work on Tampa’s new I-4 Connector, “a roadway that connects dreams to success”; for this project Gerdau has shipped more than 19,000 tons of steel.

The print ads Schifino Lee created for Gerdau show how the company put best practices, products and people in place to create success for clients and better living environment for people across the world.
