Ask Jeeves signs HHM for Xmas B2B drive

LONDON - Search engine Ask Jeeves has appointed direct marketing agency HHM to promote its Christmas shopping channel to online advertisers and media buyers.

The aim of the mail campaign is to generate interest and raise awareness with media buyers in order to create appointments for Ask Jeeves sales staff.

The mailing includes a Christmas gift of a personalised miniature Ask Jeeves-branded shopping trolley containing chocolate coins and a shopping wishlist in a handwritten typeface, which lists the benefits that advertisers can receive from Ask Jeeves.

Ask Jeeves marketing manager Sabrina Geremia said: "We were very impressed by HHM's creative idea and the campaign has been great in opening doors for our sales team. Sending our clients a wrapped gift and outline of our Christmas shopping offer reminded them how quickly the festive season is approaching and how Ask Jeeves can play a big role in driving sales."

HHM's other clients include Martell brandy, Toshiba and Vodafone.
