Next 23 February, in Dusseldörf, we will see the opening of Euroshop, one of the most important European exhibition dedicated to retail architecture. Our stand will be in Hall 10, No. H34: those who are interested in visiting, can ask for an invitation by filling the form in the Join section.

2008 saw the beginning of a new partnership between Refin and Ghenos Communication, a Milan-based agency specialising in the field of interior design, whose customer-base includes companies such as Bulthaup and Listone Giordano. Below follows a short profile of the agency, and we are certain that this will be the beginning of a path full of mutual satisfactions and positive results.

Founded in 1996, Ghénos S.r.l. Communication is an agency operating in the communication field for those companies that need highly qualified and specific assistance, offering communication programs tailored to the specific needs of the customer. 

The team at Ghénos, led by Gabriella Del Signore, consists of a group of people who have been working in the design-furniture field for many years, especially for “design-oriented” companies. 

The agency’s policy is that of working with a limited number of companies, both on a national and international level, selected on the basis of specific characteristics: quality of products, of distribution, of service and strategies, that is to say leaders in their field.

From this stems the decision to focus on a few customers, all leading companies in their respective fields, aiming at obtaining a good visibility in the different media, either in Italy or abroad, through the press office activity.

Our agency manages the public relations with National and International media through constant, daily contacts and gives a total assistance service to companies during all the meetings and events with journalists.

As a consequence, the partnership with our customers is complete: we operate in absolute synergy with the customer, creating a real partnership; this is an “appealing” aspect not only for the customer but also for the journalists who can find a reliable and accurate source of information.

“Assistance” is the keyword in our cooperation with the editors: quality in our proposal and above all precision and speed of reply.

Here are some photos of Costa Group stand at the recent SIGEP trade-fair in Rimini. The renowned interior design studio uses DesignTaleStudio ceramics both as wall covering and as decorative element, for innovative and trendy solutions in the field of restaurant and entertainment.

Tonight at the Zelig in Milan, to coincide with the opening of MADE Expo, the award ceremony for Edilportale Marketing Awards 2008 will take place, the awards which, according to the prestigious web portal “Edilportale” distinguish the most interesting Italian companies in the field of architecture and building.

We, at Refin, have the honor of three nominations in three different categories:

• Marketing Department of the year
• Event of the year (Design On Stage)
• Best corporate web-site (www.refin.it)

Our appointment with destiny is tonight at the Zelig in Milan. We are looking forward to when the results are announced, having been nominated in so many categories is already a fantastic success but… winning is better! If the worst comes to the worst, we can at least still enjoy the performances of Ale e Franz…

UPDATE: alas, the results didn’t go the way we wanted. In particular, in the category “Event of the year” we were in the hunt right until the end but the award was won by others. Respect to the winners.
