7 TESTIMONIALS As a company that works hard at communicating our messaging and brand awareness within the A&D market, AIS has now become the only platform we use in regards to engaging face to face with architects and interior designers. AIS differ from many of its competitors by not being all about simply getting numbers through the door but by being genuinely interested in cultivating and helping relationships between a supplier and the specifier grow. This is on top of the substantial projects that have come about from us participating in the EQUINOX events. Having a great team to work with also makes it fun and enjoyable and we always look forward to the next opportunity to partner with AIS. Kevin Moffat Autex We ve participated in Equinox events over the past few years and continue to choose Equinox based on the quality of the visitors attending combined with the quality of the events themselves. They re enjoyable to attend as a supplier and offer us the opportunity to engage with innovative designers, discussing current projects. Carli Barnes - Locker Group EQUINOX is a great element of our marketing/ sales strategy to design professionals, architects and interior designers. It gives us the opportunity to showcase new products and always results in new contacts and project leads Tim Barnes - Armstrong World Industries Over the last few years, we have participated in all states with the Equinox events and have found them to be very beneficial to our business. The staff at AIS are very well organised and the events always run smoothly. The attendees get qualified so that we are only getting specifiers which are our target audience. The feedback we get from the attendees has also been positive which is reassuring for us. We are showcasing our products through Equinox again this year with our brand new display and look forward to continuing our association with them moving forward.
