Summer Camp – one of the most beloved and anticipated summer time activities!  Learn how one brand and their agency partner successfully imagined the experience to drive dynamic virtual engagements. The goal was to design an authentic summer camp experience without a physical location and the benefit of a full sensory environment, to do so, the focus shifted to the creation of an interactive platform with rich, meaningful content.  This virtual camp was designed to reach campers and their families where they are and deliver a summer filled with activities, fun, and camp traditions.  Despite increased demands on content creation, this virtual summer camp is driving higher traffic, broader reach, and greater participation among audiences and brand sponsors alike, more so than the physical environment ever did.
