ExaClair Limited, the UK subsidiary of the Exacompta Clairefontaine group, is delighted to reveal that it has been shortlisted as a finalist in The Boss Federation’s 2024 BOSS Awards, which will be held on November 28 at The Eastside Rooms conference centre in Birmingham.
The company has been nominated for the Brand Manufacturer of the Year award, which acknowledges suppliers that have run successful brand awareness campaigns during the past 12 months.
Focusing on Exacompta’s Aquarel range of premium, sustainable stationery and accessories, the company has worked closely with retailers such as WHSmith and Ryman to reinvigorate sales within the UK high street.
“We are overjoyed to have been nominated for this prestigious award. It is a true testament to the enormous amount of work that the business has put into developing our marketing and category management support”
Inspired by the Scandinavian Hygge trend, the Aquarel range offers a comprehensive collection of professional filing, desktop accessories, revision items and photo albums, that incorporate a selection of pastel colours that aim to encourage imagination, calmness and wellbeing by creating a cocooning atmosphere.
ExaClair UK marketing manager Lawrence Savage commented: “Having identified the potential of the range within the UK retail sector following success across our commercial channels, our initial focus was to boost our customers’ stationery sales through their webshop portals. By utilising a more collaborative approach alongside our customers, which has involved the development of various national and localised awareness initiatives, we’ve seen a substantial growth of Aquarel products – that has subsequently led to a successful drive of in-store listings.”
He added: “We are overjoyed to have been nominated for this prestigious award. It is a true testament to the enormous amount of work that the business has put into developing our marketing and category management support, as we strive to nurture deeper relationships with our clients.”
