About the Forever Present Campaign
De Beers Group launches a new marketing campaign, ‘Forever Present,’ for the holiday gifting season in the U.S. Highlighting a diverse array of gifting opportunities for natural diamonds this holiday season, the campaign celebrates familial, friendship and romantic relationships under the premise that ‘natural connections deserve natural diamonds,’ making them the ideal choice for celebrating special moments with special people. The campaign reinforces the notion that natural diamonds are a store of emotional value that enable precious memories to remain ‘forever present.’ The campaign features diverse real-life couples, illustrating unforgettable moments and key milestones worth celebrating with the most special people in our lives, bringing the true essence of their relationships to life on screen. Showcasing classic jewelry designs including studs, tennis bracelets, anniversary bands, three-stone rings and solitaire pendants, the campaign speaks to a broad audience of U.S. gift-givers. The campaign will run nationally throughout the U.S. across digital platforms, social media including Instagram and TikTok, and out-of-home including major airports. To enhance its reach and impact and support U.S. independent jewelry retailers, the campaign assets will also be made available free of charge to retailers planning to invest in natural diamond marketing this holiday season. Retailers interested in learning more about the Forever Present campaign and how they can participate can visit: adiamondisforevermarketing.com. The campaign is featured on @Adiamondisforever on Instagram and TikTok. For further information, visit adiamondisforever.com.
