Virtual Reality vs. Augmented Reality
As marketing professionals in the experiential world, we have become accustomed to the idea of an ever evolving industry. Brands today are moving away from purely face to face physical experiences, and bringing their essence to life, not only through digital immersion creativity but through new technology as well including Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). Now, you may ask yourself, “what is the difference between VR and AR, and how are brands utilizing these technologies?”

The discussion was almost entirely centered on “knowing that the world won’t end if you take a risk,” “going for it,” and “doing what will be most fun”—which was great. It was encouraging to learn that risk taking as it relates to your career sometimes has a huge, often unforeseeable payoff. It really was.
How Brands Approach New Social Platforms
When it comes to new social platforms, a brand can feel a bit like a kid in a candy store: think Instagram, think Pinterest, think Snapchat. Every day, developers submit over 1,000 apps to the Apple App Store.

What you lose in sharing high-quality content, you gain in perceived spontaneity and creativity.
