Hey there! This week we're celebrating the holidays with you by highlighting some of the best holiday insights we've researched. Most interesting is Virtual Celebration, in which brands are harnessing virtual and augmented reality platforms to enhance holiday celebrations and excitement. My favorite example is the immersive experience set up by Marks and Spencer, which consisted of a charitable VR pop-up through which visitors could view three different Christmas experiences. The pop-up perfectly represented the theme of the season – celebration, empathy and giving back. To learn more about how you can engage consumers via tech and social responsibility, don't miss out on our upcoming Future Festivals in New York and Orlando. Wishing you a happy holiday! Enjoy!
