Timo Sarpaneva is the focus of an exhibition at the Design Museum in Helsinki, Finland. He has had enormous influence on two of our Smart Brands partners Iittala and Rosenthal.

Wish to share the Week of Waterford sale with your brides? Bridge is helping you.
Bridge is emailing your brides an email that looks like the one attached. Your brides will learn about the sale and can shop online. Waterford is lowering the price for your customers as well as you (the retailer).
Please note: If you wish to not participate in this email campaign, you'll want to update your settings so that you designate that you don't want to show sale prices for Waterford.
Andrew Pickard is truly part of a dynasty—generations of Pickards have made premium tableware. Nice to see the family pictures. (Pickard is a Smart Brand partner.)

We're happy to see research group L2 compliment Smart Brand member Versace.
Excerpt:
2017 marked a year of successes for Versace: a much-talked-about fashion show, a tribute collection paying homage to founder Gianni Versace, a collaboration with Bruno Mars, and Donatella receiving the British Fashion Council’s Fashion Icon of the Year Award. The year also marked a digital growth streak for Versace, as the brand jumped from Average to Gifted in L2’s Digital IQ Index: Fashion.
