RAPAPORT... Images of couples sharing tender moments will grace the
Diamond Producers Association (DPA)’s new range of still advertisements, as part
of the organization’s campaign to associate diamonds with love.
The DPA launched this new phase of its marketing effort on
Tuesday in front of 1,000 jewelry retailers at the JCK Las Vegas show. It
includes print and digital display advertisements, as well as “out-of-home” publicity
such as billboards, complementing the “Real Is Rare” videos that began airing
on television and digital media last October.
Starting in
July, the new advertisements will appear in weekly and monthly magazines
relevant to the bridal, lifestyle, fashion and entertainment industries. The
DPA has already confirmed magazines Brides, People and Marie Claire
as initial print partners. Jewelers and retailers will also be able to use the
images in-store and in local media.
“We chose
to launch our new creative [effort] at JCK Las Vegas in order to share it first
with our partners in the industry,” Deborah Marquardt, the DPA’s chief marketing officer, said Tuesday. “The
campaign features real couples, and the images show ‘stolen moments’ of
tenderness where the diamond jewelry is treated as an unmistakable gift of
love.”
The five images
of intimate poses feature taglines such as, “Elaine & Travis have been
together for five years. Her diamonds are more than two billion years old.” The
DPA shot the single-page advertisements in New York in March, using creative
agency Mother New York. They focus mainly on diamond jewelry for engagement and
marriage, from suppliers including Gillian Conroy, Danhov, Greenwich Street
Jewelers, Beverly K., Leo Schachter, and Pluczenik.
The
announcement follows confirmation of the DPA’s $57 million marketing budget for
2017 — including $50 million for the US — funded by miners such as De Beers and
Alrosa. The DPA plans to debut further videos in the fourth quarter for digital
media and traditional television. It also plans to expand the “Real Is Rare”
campaign to India — where it will launch in September — and to China.
