“The 8th Wonder of the World” saga continues as ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu chooses SixAxis’ ErectaStep to keep pyramid builders safe in an ingenious media campaign entitled, “The Mummy Returns.”

ErectaStep’s “The 8th Wonder of the World” saga continues

Andrews, South Carolina – October 22, 2019 Manufactured with the strict brand ethos that fall-prevention and safety products can be innovative, fast to ship, easy to assemble and surprisingly fun, SixAxis’ in-house marketing firm red7 has launched an imaginative follow up to last year’s ad promoting ErectaStep products as the “The 8th Wonder of the World.” The viral video hit social media channels last week and follows the mummified Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu on his quest to find a safer and more efficient way to build pyramids for some friends, quote, “In a place far…far…away.”

The reasoning behind the campaign’s colorful premise? Industry-leading Fortune 500 titans like Boeing, NASA, Gulfstream, and Lockheed Martin are choosing ErectaStep to literally reach for the stars and go boldly where no inventor has ever gone before. ErectaStep products are helping them create our world’s new wonders—everything from electric cars to rocket ships for civilian space travel. 

The Mummy Returns - ErectaStep's saga continues

Jason Wilder, President and Chief Creative Officer of red7 is proud of his team’s efforts. “The response to last year’s 8th Wonder of the World ad campaign was wildly successful. I think it’s a pleasant surprise for our clients who are project engineers, plant managers, and corporate decision-makers to be introduced to our safety solutions in such an uncharacteristically humorous and refreshingly creative way.”

Set inside a top-secret leading aerospace facility, the storyline follows ErestaStep spokesman Chris using the proprietary configurator to show the Pharaoh how 5 ErectaStep components create unlimited configurations for safe access while working at heights. With a bone-creaking mummy nod to the safety hazards for workers of days gone by, the Pharaoh is impressed and places a large order for a pyramid project–to be next-day shipped to the Z Nebula in a distant universe. Adds Wilder with a smile, “Maybe we should modify our brand line to “8th Wonder of the World…and beyond.”

Wilder has a hunch that part 2 in the “8th Wonder” video series will resonate with customers. “ErectaStep products are patented and truly revolutionary, which is why we feel taking such an unconventional approach to our marketing efforts makes perfect sense.” In addition to providing OSHA compliant industrial modular stairs, work platforms, and handrails designed to increase safety and efficiency for advanced civilizations building pyramids, ErectaStep products provide access and staircase solutions across a variety of vertical markets including industrial, chemical, petroleum, energy, aerospace, and manufacturing. The campaign launched with a nationally broadcast television ad and includes digital media, print ads, and an extended 2-minute web film with supporting content that can be viewed online at erectastep.com/8th-wonder-of-the-world
