Says Taryn McGurk, group marketing manager at Ipoh: "We're delighted to announce the appointment of The Royals to the QVB and Strand Arcade creative accounts after a rigorous tender process. We look forward to working closely with the them to push the boundaries of ideas and encourage our shoppers to discover the distinctive retail experience we have to offer, combined with the heritage and unique architectural values of the buildings themselves."

Adds The Royals managing partner Dan Beaumont: "We are in the business of collecting great brands and clients to work with creatively, so we're really happy to be chosen by the team at Ipoh to work on The QVB and The Strand Arcade. At a time when we can shop anywhere, anytime, the appeal of an immersive retail experience cannot be underestimated. We've got some great ideas for both centres so can't wait to get started."
