Society of the Spectacle? What We Can Learn From Music and Gaming to Thrive in the Metaverse

Description

Gamers explored virtual worlds long before the term Metaverse was coined.
Festival goers understand the nuances of what makes an experience incredible- why they go back year after year to make new memories that last a lifetime.
Music of each era is an indication of where our culture is going before we even realize it.
As these core pillars of culture collide in the Metaverse, we’ll hear from panelists who come from deep inside the music, gaming and the broader world of entertainment to learn how fandom is evolving, and how understanding it is key to building a successful business in the Metaverse.

Description

This panel features both the client and the agency that created a compelling AR activation leveraging story-telling, serialized content, and both in-person and virtual events to connect with developers.

This innovative campaign used web-based AR to help drive engagement at a virtual event, offering up a gamified and educational interactive experience featuring 'Chuck' - a sarcastic and snarky block character that led the user through the experience. The campaign further evolved by engaging in-person, conference attendees with booth-activated AR experiences that further told Chuck's story.

Description

Fans don’t just want to watch the game - they want to be a part of the experience. To engage their attention, fans demand a personalized, emotional experience, with increasing pressure to show innovation. Tech enabled experiences provide brands an opportunity to gain insights on their fans (their needs, motivations, etc.), and become more influential in their purchasing decisions.

Whether digital platforms, AR, VR, AI, holograms, or NFTs, the gamification of the fan experience is an example of the way teams and brands can optimize consumer interactions to increase sales, analyze customer engagement, and measure partnerships. From pre-event, to on-site, to at-home, and post game experiences, our fireside chat will explore how brands can leverage XR to connect with consumers, build fanbases, and influence opinion.
