A Masterpiece Worth Billions — of Impressions

Background

New York’s art scene is the most competitive in the world – difficult not only to enter but also to sustain momentum and differentiation. Sharp has worked with The European Fine Art Foundation (TEFAF) since its New York fair launch in 2016 to do just that.

Our Solution

TEFAF first engaged Sharp to develop a holistic launch plan, integrating PR, social media, influencer marketing and special events. We build on the campaign each year, evolving TEFAF New York’s reputation from a buzz-worthy, new-kid-on-the-block to a revered feature of the NYC art calendar. In tandem, Sharp has raised the profile of TEFAF and its anchor fair in the Netherlands with U.S. media and audiences.
To engage interior designers at TEFAF New York, Sharp develops and produces a signature media partnership event offering A-list designers a first look preview of the fair.
TEFAF’s core target audience is collectors. With an eye towards high net worth and culturally conscious consumers, Sharp secures coverage across luxury categories of art, design, and lifestyle.
Offering a true immersion into Dutch culture, Sharp secures attendance and coverage across all relevant categories of media --- arts, culture, design, jewelry, lifestyle and travel - -- through the TEFAF Maastricht press trip.

The REsults

Year after year, Sharp has expanded TEFAF’s reach both quantitatively and qualitatively. Resulting coverage for the latest New York and Maastricht campaigns included a record 17 stories in The New York Times, extensive arts coverage, and new features across home & design, jewelry, and lifestyle publications.
