How SciFi Drives Marketing In the Exponential Age
Historically, Fortune 500 marketers, including home improvement retailer Lowe’s, grew their brands through mass exposure to unified radio and television audiences.
Today, individuals expect engaging and inspiring content and experiences. Marketers use storytelling to build emotional connections with consumers, but often fall flat. Companies like Lowe’s, SciFutures, and Fellow Robots are succeeding with a new approach to storytelling – even hiring science fiction writers to bring possible futures to life for executives and consumers.
Tangible examples of how Lowe's is delivering innovation through uncommon partnerships and effective storytelling are the Holoroom, an augmented reality design tool introduced in partnership with SciFutures, and the OSHbot retail service robot introduced in partnership with Fellow Robots. Join this session to learn how Lowe’s, SciFutures and Fellow Robots are using science fiction to deliver consumer experiences of the future today.
