SOUTHFIELD, Mich., April 27, 2009 — Darakjian Jewelers’ The One, The Only television campaign received a creative award from InDesign Magazine, the magazine for the retailer of fine jewelry design. The fresh, innovative and creative campaign launched in September of 2008. Toledo’s Fruchtman Marketing, the agency of record for Darakjian Jewelers, won a Jewelry & Watch Advertising Award (JAWA) for first place in the TV Category for creating the campaign.

The account and creative team at Fruchtman Marketing developed this advertising campaign to show the passion and emotion that someone feels when they walk into Darakjian Jewelers and see the dazzling diamonds, beautiful gemstones and unique timepieces available in the store. The One, The Only campaign not only appeals to the history of current buyers at Darakjian Jewelers, it speaks to the jewelry buyers of tomorrow.

“This campaign was a pleasure to put together from the beginning, as it’s a true representation of who we are at Darakjian Jewelers,” said Ara Darakjian, owner of Darakjian Jewelers. “To know that we were selected as one of the very best in advertising in not only Michigan, but the entire United States and Canada, out of a field of over 350 ads submitted by over 150 companies is truly a prestigious honor.”

The Darakjian Jewelers television series won the award based on its scores for quality of production/graphics/photography, creativity, innovation and emotional impact.
