Putting fragrance into public space

28 May 2012

Using escalators and hanging banners in Edgars and Red Square, which incorporate promotional bays, posters and the gondola end, Unlimited's Fashion Media is currently advertising 'Diesel Fuel' to the youth market.

"It's the closest that advertising can get to the point of purchase," says Sean Reed, CEO of Fashion Media, "it draws you into the shop and directs you to the merchandise on the promotional bays and gondola ends."
