KG Clients at NRF

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012 by Dianne

This week was one of the busiest weeks of the year for Ketner Group and our clients as we prepared for the National Retail Federation’s (NRF) Big Show 2012. Weeks before the event, the team was scheduling media and analyst interviews and making sure press announcements would be ready to go. Our clients showcased their products at NRF and made big company and customer announcements, and it was our job as their PR agency to make sure they got the coverage they deserved. Here is quick rap up of what our clients did at NRF:

Cornell-Mayo showcased its retail software solutions and announced that SAKS Fifth Avenue will be piloting its OmniExpress Mobile POS.
CrossView demonstrated its award-winning cross-channel commerce platform.
Digby announced the launch of its location-based mobile marketing platform, Localpoint, and also showcased it.
Predictix showcased its suite of applications and announced its extended partnership with Russia’s largest electronics retailer M.Video.
QuantiSense unveiled the QuantiSense Decision Orchestration Platform at NRF and also announced that Urban Outfitters licensed its full suite of applications.
Starmount introduced and demonstrated Starmount Connect, an open shopper engagement platform that enables a more personalized shopping experience.

With all these great announcements it was rewarding to see the positive media coverage, which we all love. Digby, Starmount, and QuantiSense even made it on the Best of NRF: Top 10 Takeaways by RIS Magazine. We want to give a big shout out to our clients for being so awesome to work with and producing innovative products to boot, and we are excited to see what is in store for next year. The KG team did an amazing job as well—this was my first time experiencing the NRF madness and I learned so much. But just because NRF is over doesn’t mean the madness ends—we still have lots to do post-NRF. Next stop: SXSW.

Stressed Spelled Backwards Spells Desserts

Thursday, January 12th, 2012 by Brittany

Every business has its busiest time of the year, and the beginning of January is Ketner Group’s. The National Retail Federation (NRF) holds its big show, literally called “The Big Show,” the second or third week of every January, and the KG team is up to our ears in NRF projects as we prepare nine clients for this year’s Big Show—now just 3 days away!

We are firm believers in the “work hard, play hard” philosophy, and right now we’re working hard—but not so hard that we can’t take a moment to laugh a little and keep the mood light. So what’s tickling our fancy today? Old ads—mostly bad old ads—the likes of which would never have made it past Don Draper’s trash bin (well, we hope anyway!).

Here are a few of our favorites—you’ll notice a couple of similarities:
