DISCOVER. Future Leaders on Site.
Earlier this month, the Sydney Athena Blue team hosted James Michael Davis and his students from Indiana University – Kelley School of Business at one of Athena Blue Global’s recently completed projects: Medtronic Australia and New Zealand’s Head Office.
The students had an in-depth tour exploring Medtronic’s cutting-edge education and training spaces. It was a fantastic opportunity to share insights, spark curiosity, and inspire the next generation of professionals. Thanks to Catherine Hon, Muhammad Ahsan Idrees, and Raphela Jude, who helped facilitate such a memorable experience for the students.
ALIGN. Expanding Horizons – Williams Sonoma in the UK.
At Athena Blue, we’re always excited to assist clients in their international expansions.
Long-standing client Williams Sonoma has recently launched its first international store in the UK. This success is the result of many years of careful, strategic planning and building a loyal customer base that values the retail experience they offer.
DELIVER. Momentum in Motion:
Our partnerships with long-standing clients remain stronger than ever, with 72 planned remodels currently being executed across North America for Old Navy.
The momentum of this process ensures consumers across the country benefit not only from refreshed stores in their local area, but also from a consistent experience wherever they travel. These updates are essential for brand loyalty and longevity.
