Want to know who used the WOW factor best in 2019? Check out our top five immersive marketing lessons from 2019.
High Art
2019 was the year art installation became an advertising boon. Smart brands partnered with established, and at times subversive artists, to create that elusive “wow” factor. They were able to engage consumers and passively expand their database while garnering buzz beyond the four walls of the traditional booth.
The Fifth Dimension
AR and VR aren’t going anywhere, in fact, it’s just the beginning. 2019 showed us that engaging tradeshow attendees and consumers alike can’t resist the newest gadgets. And we’re all getting a little smarter. “Smart” tech was big on the floor at CES last winter and it’s poised to become leaner and cleaner in the new year. Be prepared for truly immersive marketing and enhanced gamification all around you!
