MUZAK AND AEROPOSTALE DESIGN A NEW CUSTOM SOUND

Touch, Muzak's in-store agency, collaborates to define customer experience for teen retailer's Time
Square location

FORT MILL, SC, June 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Muzak, a Mood Media company and the
leader in sensory branding services for business in North America, has
partnered with Aéropostale, the specialty retailer of casual apparel
and accessories, to provide custom soundtracks at over 1,000 store
locations in the United States and Canada. Muzak helped create a new
audio identity for Aéropostale and its sister chain P.S. from
Aéropostale that fosters a sense of belonging and comfort while adding
relevance to the brand.

Muzak was awarded the contract after designing a unique in-store audio
identity and custom music soundtrack for Aéropostale's Times Square
location. Recognizable as the former home of MTV's Total Request Live,
Aéropostale in Times Square covers over 18,000 square feet and occupies
two floors overlooking New York City's Broadway.  Touch, Muzak's
experience design and sensory branding agency, created three distinct
programs for each of three specialty rooms within the store, all of
which live harmoniously under one roof and appeal to the broad and
international audience that Times Square attracts.

"We could not be more thrilled with the results at our Times Square
location," said Jay Eaton, Vice President of Operations for
Aéropostale.  "The atmosphere Muzak created received rave reviews from
our customers. We are looking forward to working with Muzak to expand
this new audio identity across all our stores."

"We are very pleased to be able to extend our partnership with
Aéropostale," said Lorne Abony, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
of Mood Media Corporation.  "Aéropostale succeeds by creating a
lifestyle brand for its customers, and that is precisely the kind of
relationship that our sensory branding solutions are designed to
enhance."
