That’s right, disco is still dead. But Phillips Furniture is back–and in a big way.
As some of you know, Phillips Furniture was a St. Louis institution until they closed their doors in 2004 (the year Hues Corporation’s hit “Rock the Boat” was still as unbearable as it was in 1974). But now it’s back and better than ever. And St. Louis can finally buy the style of furniture they used to only find in high-end (i.e. expensive) catalogs. And now they can actually afford it.
And guess who helped with the relaunch? We’ll give you a hint: Gloria Gaynor is horrible at Photoshop.
For the last couple of months, we’ve been busy recreating this retail brand from the ground-up. With a new logo, in-store signage, magazine ads, TV and radio commercials, web banners and even a brand spankin’ new website – PhillipsFurniture.com. So go ahead, sit back, take a look at everything and enjoy the fact that disco isn’t coming back anytime soon. At least we hope not.
The winners of the 53rd annual Adrian Awards have been announced. And by the looks of things, H|L and the Missouri Division of Tourism will need to bring an extra bag to the awards gala in New York on February 1.
Overall, fifteen awards will make the trip to Missouri, including three golds (those’re the best ones) for the “Stay Close” campaign. One is for the campaign as a whole. The other two are for web banners from the campaign and a trip planning microsite: visitmo.com/ideas.
The Adrian Awards is the largest and most prestigious travel marketing competition in the world. Their words, not ours.
What is a Rebus? Is it a verb? An adjective?
The answer is we don’t know. And we’re somewhat wary of Wikipedia.
But the event held at Hoffman | Lewis Tuesday night was, by any definition, a success.
Brian Hall from the St. Louis CVC gave a presentation on the value of strong agency/client relationships. And the two Marks, Schaeffer and Manion, shared insights into the way H|L works with the 60-plus Ad Club members in attendance.
Drinks were served, pop-a-shot was played, business cards and ideas were exchanged.
