🎵 On the eighth day of Christmas, The Bluedog Group agency, Is at the forefront of retail design, through innovation and versatility. 🎵 Group agency Kounter was delighted to work with Pernod Ricard Global Travel Retail to launch its Amsterdam Golden Beacon concept into a fully modular store, in partnership with Gebr. Heinemann and Schiphol Airport Retail. TRBusiness - Travel Retail Business stated, “The refurbished space is said to be at the “forefront of innovative retail design”, featuring digitised screens, glorifiers, and wave and learn engagement systems. Modular in design, the space allows for versatility and cross-category customer experiences. As such, the store will constantly evolve throughout the year.” Working in Amsterdam’s Golden Beacon retail space, we were delighted to take on the challenge to meet the space's aims - to minimise Pernod Ricard’s carbon footprint. Through modularity and digitalisation, the project reduced Pernod Ricard’s carbon footprint by 76%, conserving an estimated 1.2 tonnes of natural resource build material over its three-year lifespan. #agencylife #liveevents #retail #digital #eventagency #pernodricard #amterdamsgoldenbeacon #innovation #digitalisation #versatility #carbonfootprint #retailagency #retail #retailactivations #travelretail #domesticretail #travelretailactivations

Last week LIGANOVA Managing Director Mathias Ullrich shared his insights into how Modern Luxury is changing the urban landscape and inner cities at the German Council of Shopping Places (GCSP) Power Days in Mainz. There were lively discussions with key decision-makers in the urban real estate industry about what could and should happen.   Mathias’ key takeaway  👉 The last two years were marked by numerous insolvencies in the retail sector. The reason: Brands find themselves in an experience economy and are competing for time and attention. It's less about sales per square meter and more about experience per cubic meter as retail stores became the primary brand experience shapers. #LIGANOVA #RetailTransformation #RetailExperience #meaningfulspaces #BrandRetailSpaces #BrandLiveExperiences #POSCampaigns

Tanya Kosseva-Boshova - Managing Partner and Member of the Board of Directors of Park Lane Developments recently took part in one of the biggest real estate events in the world - EXPO REAL (Messe München), as a panelist in "SPOTLIGHT ON CEE - MARKETS ON THE MOVE" with a focus on Central and Eastern Europe as a growing region with huge potential. Some of the key points that were discussed during the event included: ✅ CEE has established itself as a stable and growing investment market, but many investors are looking for a higher yield profile. ✅ Increasing prosperity in these markets provides many more opportunities for expansion. ✅ Grocery sales play an important role for consumers in all commercial establishments: from shopping centers to stores in retail parks or stand-alone stores, as well as in new projects and renovations. #RealEstate #CEE #EXPOREAL

GRI Club’s recent Future Retail Global Committee meeting brought together some of the biggest names in the industry to discuss the "new normal" in retail, which is demanding innovation, technology, sustainability, and a focus on quality of life from both retailers and real estate players. 🔹 The discussion highlighted the evolving landscape of retail real estate, with stores transforming into experiential leisure destinations to meet shifting consumer behaviours, while also emphasising the importance of omni-channel retail, particularly in certain regions, and noting a trend towards redeveloping existing assets over new construction. Despite a growing investor focus on logistics, opportunities persist in well-managed retail properties, especially in European markets that prioritise refurbishment and high street revitalization. 🔹 The importance of adapting to changing consumer preferences was also highlighted, especially among Generation Z, along with the need to integrate sustainable initiatives and consider relocation. Thanks to our co-chairs Alejandro Luna, CEO at CONQUER Estrategia Inmobiliaria, Eric Costa, President of Citynove AM - Groupe Galeries Lafayette, and Larissa Jacobson-Rooke, MBA, VP, Retail at QuadReal Property Group, as well as GRI Club’s own Fedra Rodríguez and Ludwig Menke for moderating. 🔗 Watch the full meeting on the GRI Club Media Center: https://lnkd.in/diDxjB_D #griclub #realestate #retail #future #globalcommittee
