Donahue Schriber  |  A zone dedicated to Gen-Y shoppers was created for an under-performing 2nd level area of Glendale Galleria. The Galleria is a major regional shopping center serving the greater Los Angeles area.

Guest experience programming was created for this 18,000 sq.ft. area, including tenanting recommendations, multi media displays, a private commercial network, vending installations, and other elements.  Work also included preparation of the initial programming grid for Z tv private network, implementation of a sponsorship plan, and installation of the show system.
