Midlab Bold Ideas in a Dry Industry

When Midlab, a leading cleaning chemical manufacturer, set out to bring their innovative ideas to market, they needed the right partner to help develop a complete marketing plan. For nearly a decade, Asen has been that partner — and through a series of collaborative, high-impact campaigns, we’re proud to have helped Midlab amplify their brand, engage new audiences, and drive measurable business growth across multiple product lines.

The Brief

Before partnering with Asen, Midlab had not yet implemented a formal marketing program. But in the B2B cleaning industry, where marketing often takes a back seat, the team saw an opportunity to break apart from the norm.

Throughout our decade-long partnership, we collaborated on a series of highly targeted campaigns that not only showcased Midlab’s products and innovations, but also helped build more brand recognition, expanded their reach, and positioned the company for greater growth in a competitive market.

The Campaigns

While each campaign spotlighted here — as well as those not shown — had its own unique message and market, they all shared one thing: a focus on elevating the Midlab brand and driving a deeper connection with audiences in the commercial cleaning industry.
