We also want to increase consumer awareness of the 36.6 brand and inform consumers about the main values of our brand. We chose Valeria because her lifestyle is similar to the philosophy of our pharmacies – stores that offer a full range of products for a healthy family. Valeria represents perfectly the target audience of Pharmacy Chain 36.6 – a woman who takes care of herself and her family, is interested in the latest innovative products and is responsible for purchasing products for the health and beauty of the entire family.” |
