Back to IRL Webinar (AUS)

This session picks up from our previous webinar, 'Reimagining Experience through Content, Broadcast + Innovation' taking a practical and pragmatic look at the role of physical experiences.

With guest speakers McKinsey & Company we'll explore evolving consumer behaviours and take a look at the trends we expect to stick around.

From a brand experience perspective, we'll explore how physical experiences can be designed, shaped and delivered as legislation and guidelines lift, being mindful of audiences’ concerns and comfort, always putting the health and safety of all involved first.

We'll show how campaigns and experiences can be designed to work harder and be amplified through broader channels and further integrated across the wider marketing mix. With events and experiences likely to be smaller and more controlled in the next few months, this puts the emphasis on our 'experienced by few, shared with many' approach.

Then we'll put this thinking into practice by working through a number of challenging scenarios and potential solutions – small through large – as restrictions begin to lift.

Finally we'll wrap the webinar up by looking at what we believe brand experience will look like as we move forward, hearing from progressive Australian gin brand Four Pillars, who heavily rely on experiences to build their global brand presence.

"The current switch to virtual is at its peak but it will soon become part of the new way of working in which the physical and virtual events worlds will merge, not clash. We must try different things and recognise that audiences are happy for us to give it a go – they want to be connected, they don't want to be locked out."
