Emerging technologies are transforming media and marketing, but this is not a linear process – there are successes and disappointments, hype and ‘fad’ labelling. However, some of these technologies do become ‘rising stars’ and there is no better example of this than the journey augmented reality has been on – from a gimmick to what Harvard Business Review now calls an essential technology. In this session, Havas Media’s Marek Wrobel looks at the past, present and future of AR - charting how it has evolved from Pokémon Go to a valuable storytelling platform during the pandemic. Marek also dives into what’s next, with AR try-ons, 3D models and AR portals becoming main-stays in the marketing strategies of many brands.Stay Engaged 2021 is hosted in partnership with Quantcast, creators of a new and innovative intelligent audience platform.
