Hotpoint has launched “Just Come Over Season,” a new brand campaign built around everyday British homes and the confidence to host spontaneously.
Just Come Over Season forms part of Hotpoint’s wider Brand Equity campaign, backed by a multi-million above-the-line investment across TV, BVOD, SVOD, YouTube, radio and digital audio, alongside further investment in social and influencer content. The multi-channel activity is designed to drive mass consumer awareness and reappraisal of Hotpoint, ensuring retail and housebuilder partners are backed by a brand actively investing in reaching and engaging today’s homeowners.
The campaign is supported by nationally representative research of 2,000 UK adults, revealing significant untapped demand: eight in ten Brits say they would host more spontaneously if their home and appliances could keep pace, with 30 per cent citing an unorganised home as the main barrier to inviting friends round at short notice. The findings – supported by expert commentary from clinical psychologist Dr Angharad Rudkin and an interactive UK Spontaneity Map revealing regional differences in spontaneity across the country – point to a clear opportunity for appliances that remove the practical barriers to last-minute hosting.
Central to the campaign is Hotpoint’s thoughtful technology demonstrating how Hotpoint’s appliance range takes the friction out of last-minute hosting – from ovens with air fry, steam and pizza-oven functions that adapt instantly to any request, to fridge freezers that keep food fresh for up to 4 times longer* and dishwashers that take the effort out of the clean-up.
Kimberley Garner, Brand Manager at Hotpoint, said: “Hotpoint has spent 115 years in British kitchens, and this research shows just how much pressure people put on themselves before inviting friends round. Just Come Over Season is about helping the nation let go of that pressure, and our appliances are designed to make spontaneous hosting genuinely achievable, whatever form it takes.”
For kitchen retailers, designers and specifiers, Just Come Over offers a clear commercial rationale for choosing Hotpoint: by putting the brand at the heart of a relatable, everyday moment – spontaneous hosting – the campaign builds consumer recognition nationwide. Partners specifying or stocking Hotpoint appliances benefit from customers already recognising and asking for the brand – making Hotpoint an easier, more confident recommendation at the point of specification.
The campaign reinforces Hotpoint’s positioning as the UK’s most trusted major domestic appliance brand**.
