DirectBuy Selects Fine Living Network (FLN) as Sole Media Partner For Its First Multi-platform Advertising Campaign

Fine Living Network (FLN) joins DirectBuy, a national members-only showroom and home design center, in a long-term arrangement that represents DirectBuy’s first ever multi-platform advertising campaign.

Knoxville, Tenn. (EMWNews) July 23, 2008 — Fine Living Network (FLN) joins DirectBuy, a national members-only showroom and home design center, in a long-term arrangement that represents DirectBuy’s first ever multi-platform advertising campaign. With the July 26 launch of Work That Room with Christopher Lowell, FLN will create a new business and advertising partnership designed to guide consumers from concept to purchase.

“In a world of growing choices, advertisers and brands are looking for new ways to work together,” says Jonathan LaConti, vice president of ad sales for FLN. “This partnership reflects FLN’s innovative approach to 360-degree media solutions tailored to an advertiser’s marketing goals.”

FLN gives viewers the inspiration

In addition to traditional television advertising, DirectBuy will sponsor several novel elements that will air adjacent to Work That Room with Christopher Lowell, including:

  • A convergent series of short-form vignettes providing design takeaway information for the upscale consumer
  • A three-part miniseries of sequential vignettes featuring design enthusiasts exploring their own solutions
  • A robust online and broadband content package on FineLiving.com including exclusive footage from Work That Room with Christopher Lowell and an interactive design quiz
  • In-store placement in DirectBuy showrooms

Bart Fesperman, vice president of marketing for DirectBuy, who initially envisioned this union of designer, network, and product outlet, says that combining Lowell’s expertise with FLN’s unique lifestyle programming will help consumers make their design dreams a reality. “FLN gives viewers the inspiration,” Fesperman says. “Christopher lends them the design guidance, and DirectBuy enables them to purchase the products they need to complete that vision.”

“This partnership creates a unique tool for FLN viewers, Christopher’s fans, and DirectBuy members — creating the ultimate design community,” says Dan Levin, principal of Associated Talent Management, which manages Lowell’s brand.

Work That Room will showcase Lowell’s distinctive designs and show consumers how to take inspiration from public spaces like hotels, restaurants and nightclubs to create their desired “look.” Work that Room With Christopher Lowell premieres on FLN July 26 at 6 p.m. ET.
