Anyhooo:
In 1999, when David Hall was running a construction company bearing his name in Aurora, Ontario, he decided to concentrate on home renovations and leave the scaffolding portion of his business behind. With one last scaffolding job to complete, he thought he would make it fun for his workers.
The job was a 10-storey hotel by one of the busiest highways in the metropolitan Toronto area. From his scaffolding, Mr. Hall draped a huge banner that would soon become his company’s name: Mammoth Erection. Heads turned. Smiles cracked. And the image of a hairy, tusked creature was added to the company logo. Most important, Mr. Hall said, “People started calling and calling. We never did another home renovation after the one we were working on.”
Mr. Hall credits the name with doubling his revenue in the first few years. “Surprisingly, there haven’t been many people upset with our name,” he said. “We do a lot of work for churches. Even the priests usually have a nice little chuckle.”
