Doner Picks Up Kwikset, Price Pfister

LOS ANGELES Following a review, Doner has won the accounts of two brands from Black & Decker’s Hardware and Home Improvement Group, Kwikset locks and Price Pfister faucets.

The client would not disclose billings, but spent $600,000 on Kwikset and $700,000 on Price Pfister last year, according to TNS Media Intelligence/CMR.

Tim Blett, president of independent Doner, Newport Beach, Calif., said he expects Black & Decker, Lake Forest, Calif., to “substantially” increase its marketing. “We anticipate the required resources to grow the brands enough to meet their increasing sales goals,” Blett said.
