“It is an honor to be recognized for our work by an organization outside of our industry and in categories that feature such an amazing array of nominees,” said Jenny Luker, president of Platinum Guild International USA. “We are proud to share this award with our featured design partners, editors and Elias World Media.”
“In today’s cluttered visual world it is imperative to push the creative boundaries when developing a successful video content strategy,” said Monica Elias, CEO and founder of Elias World Media. She continued, “The ability to think outside the box and to take creative risks is a ‘must’ especially for the fine jewelry and watch industries that have generally opted to use more conventional mediums. Video content is fundamental when creating conversation and engagement and with the right ‘know-how’ it can be especially powerful when connecting with today’s millennial consumer audience. Our work with PGI is a testament of how a fresh, partner-minded approach that is proactive, innovative and discerning can be incorporated while continuing to excel at the tried-and-true techniques of the past.”
