Young FrankensteinCSI
The Technology discipline’s job is to investigate the various available platforms. Once we understand how each one works, we can build a marketing solution that provides the most business value to the end user.
Early AR Marketing: Generated Awareness
NOW Campaign
Current AR Marketing: Ubiquity & Value
Virtual Pop-up Stores
Recent AR executions have netted Airwalk $5M in revenue – real value from a technology that many consider too novel to provide anything but buzz.

Augmented Reality Challenges
• Requires an application or a special browser.

• Absence of standard technology.
– Flexibility
Right Place, Right Price!
