NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, David Yurman, America's premier jewelry and timepiece designer, announces it was ranked #1 under the Watches & Jewelry category for its 2014 digital approach by L2, a member-based business intelligence ("BI") firm focused on digital competence of consumer brands. The sixth annual study, which is a globally recognized benchmark for digital performance, focuses on integrations with a specific emphasis on a brand's web site, digital marketing, social media and mobile experience.

With the relaunch of its website, David Yurman embraced the power of mobile through a responsive site that optimizes the experience for mobile and tablet users. The site combines extensive product imagery and details, complimentary two-day shipping and complimentary returns, and a personal shopper feature that offers highly customized service. The Enduring Style campaign, marking the brand's 10th anniversary of its collaboration with Kate Moss, provided opportunity for social programming and display advertising on various platforms, driving customers directly to an extended, shoppable campaign.

"We were thrilled to hear about the results of the L2 report. It acknowledges the effort we make to create best-in-class digital and social platforms for David Yurman," says Carol Pennelli, Chief Commercial Officer for David Yurman. "It's more than just winning an award—our digital aptitude has allowed us to give our customers the best shopping experience and has resulted in real growth for our business."

The brands studied by L2 were scored based on the integration of content (videos, tutorials, look books, guided selling tools, user generated content and blogs) and commerce. Scores were based on how seamlessly content is incorporated into the consumer shopping journey; each content asset was evaluated for its availability across the purchase path – homepage, grid page, and product detail page – and its ability to provide a clear path to purchase to the consumer.
