Best practices, tips and ideas from successful campaigns on how to integrate extended reality in marketing, CSR and employer branding

Extended reality guide tailored to marketing and employer branding professionals

Reaching new users is becoming harder in the attention economy and brands are facing greater challenges to be unique and distinguish themselves. Many companies have already realized this and are making use of extended reality (XR) to engage users in a deeper and more meaningful way.

However, in many projects XR becomes a gimmick and it is difficult to filter how to best use this technology and in which contexts. With this guide, we show successful case studies from leading companies, which contexts they can be adapted to, and how to get started with integrating XR in your next campaign.

We are convinced that we are not only setting new standards in the area of CSR, but also making a contribution to the future of education
