It was another successful quarter for Articulation Agency and K. Brunini Jewels. We are honored to announce that K. Brunini Jewels was named the Women’s Jewelry Association’s (WJA) Fine Jewelry Designer of the Year. Katey Brunini and her team accepted the honor in July at the WJA’s 28th Annual Awards of Excellence Gala in New York City. Katey began her acceptance speech by thanking “the entire industry for this accolade” and warning them, “this is just the beginning and there are many exciting things to come.” Articulation supplemented the jewelry design company’s success through the development of an interactive flipbook—compiling all press features into a visually stimulating electronic book and distributing it to important industry contacts. Both KBJ and Articulation look forward to another quarter of much success and creativity.

As social-media evolves to become a must for nearly any marketing plan, it is important to assess your firm’s strategies. In a recent project for an emerging singer-songwriter, Articulation created and leveraged a strong presence on several social networking sites to drive traffic to his website and to other profiles, to gain exposure and listeners, and interact with fans. With most sites now linking to each other through easy-to-use applications, you gain a complex web of avenues to reach your target market, allowing you to engage in ongoing conversations with frequent touches. While Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn are the most common networks, industry-specific communities offer unique audiences, while media-sharing sites like Youtube and Flickr, blogs and forums can be equally effective tools in a multi-tier marketing scheme.

Email marketing has certainly emerged as one of the most cost effective ways to keep in touch with both customers and prospective customers. It is also a great avenue for extending brand recognition and emails should be carefully designed, written, and strategically sent. Yet, bounced and unopened emails can result in a waste of time and resources for a campaign. While there is no perfect solution, it certainly pays to develop and maintain your emailing list through creative integrated third party opt-in lists that can be placed on your site and marketed to your target audience. Although convincing people to give you their email address can be one of the most creatively exhausting components of a campaign, it often proves to be quicker and more efficient than other methods of communication. In addition, email can result in higher return of responses and click-throughs and it is easily tracked and measured. Opt in lists serve as a powerful access tool to your client base and as a way to support your branding efforts.
