Retail Experts, Susan Mcgibbon and John Archer, Join Forces to Launch Three Sixty Collective

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - May 27, 2016) - With 30 years of combined global experience, previous J.C. Williams Group Senior Consultant, John Archer and Susan McGibbon, President of The Retail Lab, are launching Three Sixty Collective today.

Three Sixty Collective is a bespoke, strategic consultancy that builds distinctive brands, creates remarkable experiences and develops memorable places. "Our job is to anticipate and respond to today's rapid changes in the retail, development and real estate sectors to ensure our clients are ready for the future," says McGibbon, who also led IKEA Canada's marketing as a senior executive for eight years.

The Three Sixty model brings multi-disciplinary, forward-thinking, industry leaders together serving clients in a new consultative way. Their bespoke approach is what sets them apart, in addition to offering an unparalleled experience in the retail, development and real estate sectors.

"Any of our collaborative teams could be made up of analysts, designers, planners, researchers and strategists. The result is more robust, strategic roadmaps with a 360 view," says Archer who recently left J.C. Williams Group after 18 years.

Archer has consulted for both the public and private retail and real estate sectors in Canada, U.S., India, Russia and the Middle East. The basis of his work is about translating economic information into liveable communities. That has included the cities of Toronto, Kleinburg, Boston and Dubai as well as for real estate development firms such as Brookfield and Concord Adex.

McGibbon has worked to bring focus, freshness and results to some of Canada's leading retailers, malls and shopping districts including Reitmans, Express, Umbra and First Canadian Place. With 20+ years in the retail, research and creative services industries including senior roles at Cossette and Taxi, she is recognised as an accomplished brand innovator that delivers insightful ideas and activates powerful strategies.
