Area  Communication Campaigns

"Not the biggest. Just the best."

Area communications have been bold, controversial and aggressive with a single purpose of creating name-brand recognition, interest, and respect for the participating invited designers of each event and the attendance of the most serious creative designer buyers in the market. A no holds-barred approach is used to make the events, designers and collections stand out for their artistic integrity, creative merit and commercial relevance---in today's overcrowed field of labels and brands.

Bright, specific and challenging information and messages are relayed to a confidential list of less than 600 of the world's leading international buyers and journalists. The results have generated almost 2 million cumulative impressions of editorial coverage in the fashion trade media for Area and its participating designers. It has also played a key role in creating a known stop on the international fashion circuit for the world's leading designer buyers who are ready for something new; and helped to grow record sales of some of the industry's most phenomenal recent independent brand stories.

Below links to a selection of some of Area's most talked-about campaigns:
