Wood lovers rejoice! One of the most highly anticipated television events is coming soon. Real Cedar is hitting the airwaves with four brand new commercials this spring.

Highlighting Western Red Cedar decking & siding applications, these inspirational spots are said to be nothing short of visually stunning. No big surprise there. As nature’s most telegenic building material, Western Red Cedar was born ready for its close-up.

In terms of reach, these ads are slated to hit an estimated 26 million homes across North America. With that kind of sweeping coverage, they’re guaranteed to generate water cooler fodder and construction site banter for months to come. Don’t be left out.

You can catch these short pithy ads during “the game” on ESPN or weekend mornings on HGTV and DIY Network from now until June 19…. Or, you can get a sneak peek right here, right now – quick before they go viral!
