The 360-degree experience used in marketing

How is this information relevant to marketers? When you want to pitch new ideas, you want to make sure you do it with purpose. Could your business be shown in an immersive image? 360 video or photography can be incorporated into your webpage to create an interactive experience for your clients. 360-degrees has truly opened up a new world of possibilities and produced a new method of advertising.

As you’re reading this, newer technologies are improving the trendy medium. 360-degree photography and video allow one to explore all angles and truly capture real life experiences from a fresh perspective. You could use the technologies to introduce new products or take your clients behind the scenes of your business. Here are some advantages to 360-degree marketing campaigns:

  • Using 360-degree content provides an immersive experience for your clients
  • It is more engaging because this type of content is impactful
  • You will be memorable

Here’s an example of Boursin, a cheese supplier, showcasing the contents of a fridge with their products. The video won Winner of masters of Marketing Awards last year.

Another excellent example is the five minute film called “Reimagine” starring actress Nicole Kidman and advertising A380 Airbus. Peter Baumgartner, the Chief Executive of airline mentioned:

“The film demonstrates how, as an innovative brand, we continue to break down the barriers of convention and lead the way in intelligent communication and best practice not just in the aviation industry, but [in]marketing, communication and technology.”

Both of these examples show that 360-degree content is another medium that gives marketers creative freedom and room to experiment. Once you see what can be done with one form of medium, it’s clear that rapid changes are going to happen in the advertising industry. One is left to wonder what other advancements are coming our way with the union of 360 and VR.
