THIS MOTHER'S DAY, TELEFLORA SHOWS THAT "THE HARDEST PART" OF MOTHERHOOD ISN'T HELPING YOUR CHILDREN GROW, IT'S LETTING THEM GO

LOS ANGELES, May 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Teleflora, the world's leading floral delivery service, is showcasing the emotional journey of motherhood in its new campaign, "The Hardest Part: A Teleflora Love Story," ahead of Mother's Day. Contrary to popular belief, the hardest part of being a mom isn't the day-to-day mess, stress, and exhaustion of raising children, it's the bittersweet and emotional experience of letting them go so they can grow.

From the exhilarating moment of a child's first steps to Mom's tearful wave goodbye on the first day of school to all the poignant milestones, including graduation, marriage, and everything in between, Teleflora's "The Hardest Part: A Teleflora Love Story" — which launches today — captures the touching and honest truths of motherhood. The campaign shows the deep sense of pride and love that mothers feel as they watch their children grow and combat the sadness and longing that comes with letting them go.

"This Mother's Day, we wanted to pay homage to the unwavering love and support mothers provide throughout their children's lives," said Danielle Mason, vice president of marketing, Teleflora. "While moms take pride and show the utmost love and care in raising independent children, the most pivotal milestones can feel both beautiful and heartbreaking. As a mother of two children, this campaign truly hits home for me. What we don't talk about enough is the challenge and void in moms' hearts that lies ahead after the days and years have flown by — letting go, so their children can learn to grow on their own. This is the emotional and honest story we aimed to capture in this year's campaign to honor Mom."

The ad will be featured on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, and is supported by targeted in-stream media buys on connected TV, digital, and mobile. The campaign was developed by The Wonderful Company's in-house creative team at Wonderful Agency and led by Chief Creative Officer Margaret Keene, under guidance from both Mason and Jeff Bennett, president, Teleflora. 

"The Hardest Part: A Teleflora Love Story" is an extension of Teleflora's overarching "Love Out Loud" brand platform, which encourages everyone to love like you mean it — out loud — one handmade, hand-delivered bouquet at a time.
