A number of products from Christie Digital found success as well, including Christie's MicroTiles, used in two Apex Gold Award-winning BuzzWalls - one at the home of American football team the Miami Dolphins and another at the home of the Oscar award ceremonies, the Hollywood and Highland Centre. MicroTiles were also used in the renovation of a flagship Louis Vuitton store in New York.

Scala too was featured in a Gold Apex-recognised project in the food and beverage category for its self-ordering system at German-based Holyfields quick service restaurants which integrated Scala's digital communications software with kiosks to reduce waiting time and 'improve the customer dining experience'.
