  • Leatrice Eisman of the Pantone Color Institute
    2024/09/30
    For the past quarter century, the Pantone Color Institute has grabbed headlines each December with its Color of the Year (COTY) announcement. Each selection is carefully formulated to reflect our global culture, expressing the zeitgeist through the dynamic language of color. Peek behind the curtain as I host the incredible Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. Lee generates each COTY, and also teaches color forecasting to burgeoning gurus at The Eiseman Center for Color Information & Training in Tucson, Arizona. Recognized by Fortune Magazine and The Wall Street Journal as one of the most influential people in the world of color, Lee actually galvanized the entire COTY concept by first devising the Color of the Millennium back in 1999. Lee examines what goes into each last selection, perhaps providing a hint into the 2025 COTY. While the goal of the entire COTY program is to help better understand the power of color, our discussion will leave you reevaluating what you thought you understood about this most important communication tool, whose message has the potential to cross genders, generations, and geographies.

  • Amanda and Susan of Golden Gems
    2024/08/29
    Golden Gems was brought to life in a St. Louis living room by sisters Susan Logsdon and Amanda Helman. Despite these humble beginnings, this brazen lifestyle brand distinguished itself right out of the wholesale gate, buoyed by its larger-than-life mission to inspire us all to live life unapologetically, on our own terms. Thus at trade shows, it was impossible to miss this colorful, pithy array of stationery and gifts emblazoned with empowering phrases like "Not Here For You" or "Take Up Space." Meanwhile its free giveaway — hot pink totes warning of "Cool Sh*t Inside" with a catalog tucked within — brilliantly served as mobile market advertising, enticing attendees to track down that booth for themselves. (Their booth, by the way, won Best Booth at Las Vegas Market in July.) In addition to its wholesale business, Golden Gems is also conquering St. Louis with three retail destinations, as well as Hidden Gem, its "one of a kind dive disco bar" just two doors down from its flagship. This is more than just a locale for fans to immerse themselves in the brand with a cocktail; events like 'Toxxed and Tatted' offer tattoos, piercings, tooth gems and even botox on a first-come, first-served basis. Creating instant community and camaraderie at any locale, along with a big dose of giving back, seems to come as naturally to Susan and Amanda as their brilliant messaging. Listen in to experience learn how they built their precious brand, and you'll experience a taste of that heady Golden Gems magic for yourself! Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Todd Kletter of Crane
    2024/07/30
    Crane came to life alongside America — and like America, it's had quite a challenging 2024. Actually, make that a few challenging years. This is actually the second episode of The Paper Fold covering Crane; my first dealt with its previous owner, Mohawk Fine Papers, having to move the entire Crane operation from its North Adams, Massachusetts, facility, opened in 1799, to Cohoes, New York, during lockdown in 2020. The Crane story reignited last February as Mohawk Fine Papers was being acquired by the International Fedrigoni Group, owned by Bain Capital, a Boston-based private investment firm, and BC Partners, a British international investment firm. Once the acquisition went through, Fedrigoni abruptly shuttered Crane and unceremoniously laid off 76 employees. Retailers who had open orders hadn't a clue what to tell their customers. I followed the story at Stationery Trends and as February slipped into March, I began to fear that Crane had printed its last piece. But, with assistance from the former CEO at Mohawk Paper, an Albany, New York, investment firm, WP Strategic Holdings, was able to acquire Crane, and its Managing Partner Todd Kletter suddenly found himself with a new title: Crane CEO! Now Todd himself drops in The Paper Fold to recount it all — and give a glimpse of what the future holds for this all-American brand. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
