Ending the year on a high note and paving the way for a fruitful 2014, Platinum Guild International has kicked off the fourth quarter with a variety of exciting activities geared towards the millennial consumer. Through its consumer media programs, PGI USA is working in collaboration with retailers, manufacturers and designers to promote platinum design and the unique qualities of the metal to this audience where they are spending the most time: online. Research shows that millennial consumers gather information online before purchasing in store so, in addition to platinum design, the programs also offer the consumer the education he\/she should be armed with when making a <\/span>bridal <\/span>jewelry purchase.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A new online platinum ad campaign called \u201cThe Platinum Difference\u201d will appear on The Knot, Martha Stewart Weddings, Refinery29 and Colin Cowie Weddings . The campaign explains this \u201cdifference,\u201d the enduring nature of platinum jewelry, by drawing the connection to life\u2019s unfading moments, for example the \u201cexperience\u201d of an adventure as opposed to a mere photograph. The banner campaign will also feature an expandable unit, which expands within the website the user is on. This will encourage and allow the consumer to take a deeper dive into the qualities of platinum, as well as explore a gallery featuring multiple platinum pieces, and view video. The new campaign will hit sites in November.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/div>\n

In addition to continued programs <\/span>with key bridal websites, PGI USA has also kicked off a partnership with the largest independent fashion and lifestyle website in the United States Refinery29. Refinery29 is a new territory for PGI-USA whose online programs typically live within the bridal space, but as a go-to resource for all things fashion, jewelry and lifestyle, Refinery29 is a relevant outlet to showcase platinum jewelry in both the fashion and bridal realms. As part of this program, Refinery29 is curating platinum jewelry online lookbooks based on jewelry trends that they have identified. The latest trend is platinum engagement bands, a theme for those looking for something a little different than the traditional engagement ring. Check it out here:<\/span><\/div>\n

\u201cThis year, we have continued to increase the exposure of platinum in the online space,\u201d says PGI USA President Huw Daniel. \u201cThe millennial consumer is tech-savvy and is gathering more information online before going to a store to make a purchase. We are gearing our programs to find the consumer in their own space and are thrilled to work with a diverse group of partners who allow us to do so in interesting, creative and informative ways. We look forward to continuing this momentum in 2014.\u201d<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/div>\n
