Objective:
Launch Ethan Allen’s Flagship Design Center at 1010 Third Avenue, New York City.

To capitalize on the “1010” location, Pierce Mattie Communications sourced ten high-end interior designers to produce one-sheets highlighting their ten favorite pieces from the new Ethan Allen Lifestyle Collections. Leading up to the official press event, media received the one-sheets in order to start building the buzz. Approximately one month before the grand opening, media was invited in for “hard hat” tours while the center was still under construction.
Results:
Ethan Allen has been featured in The New York Times, Elle Decor and Good Housekeeping. Pierce Mattie PR also brokered complementary product integration for the new set of EXTRA; Ethan Allen outfitted the “home” set where the more intimate celebrity interviews take place.
Objective:

For the National Family Pajama Night program alone, Pierce Mattie PR secured more than 390 placements, or 320 million media impressions, and 184 broadcast placements.
