James Shepherd of Blippar
commented:
"This is a real ground breaking moment for both Blippar and New
Look. Being able to work with the New Look team on creating some
exciting and engaging content for its customers to interact with
whilst they shop brings a whole new dimension to browsing. The
window display looks fantastic and we can't wait to see it rolled
out across other New Look stores. Having Kelly Brook involved in
this too just adds to the excitement."
