Smyth Jewelers

How does a 100-year-old Baltimore jeweler reach an audience of 25-year-olds? That was the challenge we faced when trying to attract young engagement ring buyers to Smyth Jewelers in Baltimore. They needed to feel like Smyth was their store — not their parents', or grandparents'.

We employed a host of non-traditional media designed to reach singles in their 20s: inventive coasters placed in bars, sidewalk decals encouraging men to drop to their knees and propose, clever airplane banners flying over music festivals, and more. All of which pointed to a special microsite —GetEngagedHere.com — offering ring-buying advice, plus fun services like a "Dating Duration Counter" that allowed you to e-mail your sweetheart with a timer indicating exactly how long you've been dating.

The campaign continues to be the talk of Baltimore, and has helped Smyth achieve a 15 percent increase in diamond sales.
