HMY Yachts Brings MDG Aboard as Agency of Record
Boca Raton, Fla. – May 9, 2016 – HMY Yachts, one of the largest yacht dealers and brokerage firms in the world, has partnered with MDG to develop and implement an integrated multichannel marketing strategy.
HMY selected MDG based on the agency’s extensive experience and success in marketing such luxury and lifestyle brands as The Breakers Palm Beach, Round Hill Hotel and Villas, Estée Lauder, DKNY, and Clinique.
“HMY can attribute its nearly three decades of success to continually evolving to broaden its reach through savvy advertising and marketing,” said Rob Bowman, HMY’s director of marketing. “This evolution led us to MDG, which shares our commitment to exploring new creative and strategic marketing directions for maximum exposure of our brand and our customers’ yachts.”
According to Michael Del Gigante, president and creative director of MDG, “We started by identifying HMY’s key differentiators and brand voice, and built the communications platform around them.”
