We are delighted to see our client ARI Auckland [The Loop Duty Free] scoop 3 gongs in the latest global Travel Retail Superstars Awards.
We were privileged to work with the ARI Auckland team to plan and implement their 'Welcome Back' re-launch campaign to conincide with the opening of the Trans-Tasman travel bubble. Nothing like a 10 day deadline to get the creative juices flowing. A huge effort from both The Loop Duty Free's team and our Cavalry team to be ready and open on Day 1 of travel re-opening.
Below are the 3 x Travel Retail Superstars Awards - well done team!
