Santa Monica, California – February 24,
2003 -
Rayhawk Corporation (RAYHAWK.COM) announces the launch
of Andresen Digital’s (Andresen) online asset
management system. The system will be first used by
SKECHERS USA to manage the domestic and international
deployment of their extensive print campaign.
Print advertising is the central component of SKECHERS’
innovative marketing strategy. Andresen Digital helps
propel SKECHERS’ print content by providing high-end
pre-press services. The result is a diverse campaign
that effectively reaches SKECHERS’ wide demographic.
One of the inherent challenges facing such a massive
print campaign is the complex logistics behind delivering
all the content to a vast array of advertisers.
Today Andresen Digital has the capability to manage
this deployment online with an advanced Rayhawk digital
asset system. This system allows Andresen clients to
maintain their entire content library online. Companies
like SKECHERS are able to browse online samples of specific
print content, search the library via a robust search
engine, download media, place orders for specific content,
and track those orders throughout processing, fulfillment,
and delivery.
“SKECHERS print campaign has an impressive scope.
With a focus on product-driven imagery, SKECHERS’
Spring ’03 print ads will appear in over 100 magazines
a month with collages highlighting the lines’
latest styles, “ noted Michael Galvin, Andresen’s
Director of Technology. “With Rayhawk’s
new asset management system in place, Andresen is well
positioned to serve all the needs of such an aggressive
campaign.”
When developing the digital asset system, Rayhawk took
measures to ensure that Andresen’s clients could
get access to their content through an online application
that is specifically branded to make them feel at home.
As a result, SKECHERS’ personnel who use the system
are greeted by design elements that breed familiarity
and create a positive user experience.
In fact, SKECHERS’ online library features a unique
animated campaign that Rayhawk created specifically
for the digital asset system. The campaign titled “Be
Different, Be Yourself” was created by Rayhawk
designer Jack Young and features SKECHERS’ customers
participating in extreme outdoor activities. “It
sends a clear message that SKECHERS’ customers
are as unique as the shoes they wear,” proclaimed
Mr. Young. “It also helps establish that there
is a SKECHERS shoe for every lifestyle, even the most
extreme and demanding ones.”
