Jared is dropping its well-known “He Went To Jared” tagline.

Taking its place in advertising campaigns will be “Dare To Be Devoted,” advertising publication Campaign US reports.

The campaign celebrates devotion in its many forms, Alan Gravely, vice president of marketing and ecommerce for Jared, told the publication. That includes interracial and same-sex couples and couples of various ages.

“For those who are already devoted, this will be validation,” he said. “For those who are unsure, it’s an invitation.”

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
