Diam International adds six more awards to its record, including a prestigious Platinum award for Lancome Juicy Tubes/Stargloss at the December Design of the Times competition in New York.

Hundreds of displays competed for "Design of the Times" awards at The P-O-P Show at the Javits Center. Leading marketers and retailers from across the country comprised the panel of 100 judges who evaluated displays on their effectiveness at achieving marketing objectives at retail.

For the first time, Gold winners competed against each other for a Platinum award, honoring the top displays in each retail category. Diam was honored with awards for five of its displays as well as the Department Store Cosmetics and Fragrance Platinum award. The specific awards were:

• Lancome Juicy Tubes/Stargloss Promotion - Gold and Platinum
• Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP Lit Blade Interactive - Gold
• Redken Shelf Management System - Gold

As I have said on many occasions, we win when our clients win.
