Art.com Wins Two Gold Advertising Ogilvy Awards
The Advertising Research Foundation Recognizes Art.com and PrecisionDemand for Outstanding Application of Research in Advertising
EMERYVILLE, CALIF. (March 26, 2014)—Art.com, the world’s leading online destination dedicated to experiencing and buying art, today announced it has twice been named a Gold winner by the Advertising Research Foundation’s 2014 David Ogilvy Awards. In partnership with TV technology company PrecisionDemand, Art.com was recognized in the household category for its extraordinary and creative use of research in advertising. Art.com was also named a Gold winner for the Cross-Platform award as the best example in driving creative across different platforms and mediums.
After more than a decade as a successful e-commerce company, Art.com unveiled a rebrand of its website in 2012. To help bring the new brand to life, Art.com launched in 2013 a series of visually stunning, immersive television commercials. In partnership with PrecisionDemand, the company deployed a range of advertising research methods, helping Art.com use the TV campaign to reach high probability buyers, and then measure and optimize the web response that came as a result of the TV ads.
“We’re thrilled that the Advertising Research Foundation has recognized our TV campaign,” said Geoffroy Martin, CEO of Art.com Inc. “This award serves as validation in our rebranding efforts to tap into new consumer markets.”
The ARF David Ogilvy Awards, named for advertising legend David Ogilvy, honor the creative use of research in the advertising development processes by research firms, advertising agencies and advertisers. The winning campaigns provide a keen understanding of how consumer insights can be used to create powerful campaigns that drive business results and brand loyalty.
