Fred Perry

Tim Nash

Retail Team, Fred Perry

"The task was to create a modern retail environment that accurately encapsulated the historical heritage of the Fred Perry brand and could reflect its upper market positioning, to engender a feeling of ambience in which our customers would feel at home with “their” brand.  A team approach combining our own input with JudgeGill’s design skills we believe has achieved this objective very successfully."

adidas miCoach Core Skills

Chris Aubrey

Head of Global Retail Marketing, adidas AG

"There are many examples of sport retailers that allow you to perform sport in their stores or provide testing facilities such as gait analysis for running shoes. But designed so that shoppers are not only able to test their sporting abilities and fitness, but also receive specific targeted training programs to help them improve.  All of this is possible without purchase, and therefore the concept is genuinely focused on the objective of ‘enabling a better you’. It firmly grounds adidas in sport and sporting ability, both in and out of the stores."

adidas Performance Stores

Ted Mager

Head of Global Retail Development Europe, adidas AG

"The new Sport Performance environment is innovative and delivers our brand values. JudgeGill have created a consumer experience that is easy to navigate with an operationally smoother layout. Integrated systems incorporating communication, accessories and service elements such as mirrors and directional signage create impact and offer a more consumer friendly environment. We were able to ‘sell-in’ this concept evolution to our retail teams globally who have enthusiastically embraced it and we are piloting in every
region of the globe over the next few months."

SanDisk

"The key challenge for JudgeGill was to create a brand experience for SanDisk that enhanced the festival-goers
overall experience. Essentially not just an experience-within-an-experience, but engagement with consumers that added to their enjoyment and drove word-of-mouth advocacy. And boy did they deliver.  Through in-depth understanding and insight into the target audience’s world, their brand experience design educated, entertained, encouraged sharing and ultimately increased retail sales by over 20%."
