Immersive Brand Experiences
The way that world-leading companies achieve this fit is through what are known as “immersive brand experiences.”
This term describes the way in which businesses lever a whole range of touchpoints with their customers, to influence how they perceive their brand. They are about creating brands that work for individuals, not just broad customer segments.
Some companies do this brilliantly. Take Starbucks, for instance. From entering the coffeeshop, the décor, personalized service, products and environment all reinforce a sense of what the brand stands for. Similarly, an established brand such as Harley Davidson does not just sell motorbikes, – it sells an entire experience and set of values, about power, boldness and freedom, which customers engage with and respond to.
What brands like Starbucks and Harley Davidson understand,
is that modern consumers are engaging with their brands in different ways, across multiple platforms, all of the time. Engagement with their brand could be a fleeting moment, but by offering a more immersive brand experience these companies find ways to capture and retain those customers, reinforcing key brand messages throughout.
So, what are the four key steps that your business needs to take to start to create more immersive brand experiences for your customers?
