THE NIELSEN COMPANY 2011 APEX Award Winner - Gold
Executive Center (Wilton, CT) Corporate Project
The Nielsen Company, a global leader in media & market research, data measurement
and analysis enlisted the exper se of Verrex to integrate mul ple audiovisual systems
throughout its new Execu ve Center in Wilton. The space, an extension of the firm’s
New York City headquarters, would serve as a base for a number of Nielsen Company
Execu ves. It was crucial that the client’s meline be met, the systems be intui ve
and the company’s well-known brand be properly represented.
Verrex integrated Nielsen’s boardroom, several dedicated video conference rooms, a
divisible mul purpose room, a duo of collabora on spaces, employee café and CEO
office and conference room. In addi on to these spaces, Verrex was tasked with
bringing The Nielsen Company brand to life in a crea ve and bold way inside their
high-traffic lobby space. Bypassing typical corporate posters and sta c messaging,
Verrex provided a three zone digital signage solu on that would engage employees
