Luxury and prestige have long been defined by formality, exclusivity, and rigid brand guidelines. Azenco Outdoor is breaking that mold and moving forward with a mission to have “prestige in product and personality in posts.”

The leading manufacturer of precision-engineered aluminum pergolas has embraced social media as a playground – a space to experiment, laugh, and connect with consumers – without losing its premium edge.

The company’s guiding principle is simple: “Better known will always beat better product, we just happen to have both assets,” says Leslie Chapus, VP and Co-Founder.

By leaning into humor, vulnerability, and unexpected content formats, Azenco Outdoor has proven its reach to audiences far beyond traditional marketing channels.

“Social media is the most forgiving sandbox in marketing,” says Chapus. “If you miss, you learn. If you hit the bullseye, a single short video can outpace years of traditional advertising.”

This philosophy has already opened doors to many high-profile industry insider and celebrity collaborations. The growth was first noticed when the brand was approached by ABC’s The Bachelor alums Joelle Fletcher & Jordan Rogers for a collaboration for their home’s outdoor build. From December 2023 – May 2024 the brand saw an Instagram growth of 906.1% followers, link clicks of 461% and a growth of 587.5% profile visits. 

Many partnerships in the works for the end of 2025 and 2026 emerged not from stiff corporate campaigns, but from Azenco’s approachable, lighthearted brand tonality online. Azenco Outdoor’s social media presence seeks to blend:

–       Luxury aesthetics – architectural storytelling via sleek installations.

–       Playful content – viral sort videos of the team with a fun, human tone.

–       Educational posts – design insights, product innovations, and behind-the-scenes moments.

This balance has proven to resonate with the brand’s key demographic and a wider new audience who crave both aspiration and authenticity and suggests to the viewer that luxury can laugh through creating a memorable brand presence.
