The retail shops are redesigned to interpret the new brand identity. This identity has evolved over the years.

To achieve this, the brand plans to deploy Digital Signage displays in the shop windows and behind the counters. They also plan to use the In-Store Radio service to play music and provide information about their products.

AW LAB is looking to increase the ways of communication to reach their customers and innovative media can increase customer loyalty, improve clients communication and increase the number of sales.

AW LAB required to find a supplier with reliable technology and a professional service who could meet its communication needs. After a benchmark evaluation from current digital signage and in-store radio suppliers, AW LAB choses M-Cube to carry out both services.
