PRESS RELEASE

 

Platinum Guild launches global branding drive

 

The Bureau

 

Mumbai , Sept. 5

 

PLATINUM Guild International (PGI), the marketing arm of the platinum jewellery industry, has launched a new global branding initiative across the six major jewellery markets it is present in.

 

The new positioning — designed to capture and clarify the values of platinum — defines the key rational and emotional benefits of purity, rarity and strength, combined with individuality.

 

Developed by UK-based brand consultant, Interbrand, the new identity comprises the colour palette, a brand line, the word mark and logo, and a water graphic, which will be consistent across all future communication, according to Ms Vaishali Banerjee, Country Manager (India), PGI.

 

Based on extensive consumer research, conducted in India in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai, the base colour of the new identity is white, which comes from the consumer's association of platinum with daylight and moonlight; the blue of the `Pt' logo complements the white, suggesting eternity and purity. The brand line reads: pure, rare, eternal— the three key qualities associated with the precious metal. While the logo remains `Pt' (the chemical symbol for platinum), an unexpected finding that emerged from consumer research — the association of platinum with water — has been incorporated as the graphic element.

 

"PGI believes that the new brand identity is a reinforcement of the values of platinum (and) that this new language will better articulate this for the customer," Ms Banerjee said. "We are confident that it will accelerate consumer desire and help turn that into jewellery sales." The integrated international marketing and communications programme will debut in mid-September with press advertising, a multi-lingual Web site, point of sales material and consumer information in the US, Germany, Italy, Japan, China and India.

 

In India, PGI was set up in 2000, and has grown from 12 outlets in two cities to 150 outlets — a combination of family-owned and branded jewellery stores — in 32 markets, Ms Banerjee said. Younger women looking at alternatives to traditional gold jewellery have largely fuelled the growth, she added.

 

There are currently five PGI-authorised manufacturers of platinum jewellery in India. The typical platinum consumer is 25-45 years, belonging to SEC A&B, and owning jewellery for separate occasions.
