E.Braun & Co. introduces new ads

The premier linen retailer on Madison Avenue and in Beverly Hills and a long-time Littlefield client, E. Braun & Co. is debuting a new advertising campaign for fall 2006.

Departing from the traditional advertising approach of showcasing one "hero" bedding or table setting—the typical product-centered approach favored by most linen advertisers—Littlefield and E. Braun & Co. have devised a more flexible and varied approach that seeks to build awareness of the overall Brand. Each ad focuses on the kind of careful detailing that makes E. Braun & Co. linens so unique, with stacks of mixed-and-matched products that include embroidered shams, hemstitched sheets, cashmere throws, quilted matelasses and the like. All these items are further coordinated in seasonally themed colors such as greens, aquas, golds and neutrals. The ads are scheduled to appear in Elle Décor, Architectural Digest and other design publications.

The high-end American linen brand, Matouk, has recently launched a bed and bath program named "Ultra," which features Ultrasuede® fabrics. Both long-time Littlefield clients, Matouk and Ultrasuede® had crossed paths many times in our studio and at photo shoots when, for example, Ultrasuede®-covered headboards or walls appeared as props for Matouk products. We are delighted to see customers finding each other via Littlefield, and we look forward to supporting further collaborations in the future.

J.Josephson launches two branding campaigns simultaneously

After nearly 18 months in planning and production, J.Josephson, one of the largest manufacturers of contract wallcoverings in North America, has launched print advertising campaigns and websites for both of the company's major brands, Vycon and Symphony, simultaneously.

A series of Vycon ads featuring black-and-white photographs of flowers by Kouichi Okuwaki, and Symphony ads featuring, appropriately, a collection of rare music instruments owned by the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, are now running in Interior Design magazine, beginning with that magazine's Spring Buyer's Guide.

In addition, new websites for both brands have been launched in synch with the kickoff of the campaigns. Along with producing the ads and the websites, Littlefield continues to work on redesigning sample binders, swatch cards and other collateral materials for both brands.
