Promote Profi’s new locations, in a way that focuses on the experiences shoppers get to have there.
Differentiation and brand building was at the top of Profi’s mind as they were designing the new types of retail locations, with a focus on the “fiiGO” element. This symbolizes a place where you can be curious when you’re having a boring day or an explorer when you’re in your daily routine.
