We strive to create a safe and open environment for industry experts to come together and share their experiences.

The way brands interact with customers has fundamentally changed, whether it is in-person or online. Technology has played a pivotal role. Our creative agency, Imagination, was forced to use off the shelf software that didn’t provide enough customisation. Creating unique experiences for product launches, brand activations, exhibitions, live music and sports events, location based experiences, innovation centres, brand homes and retail, presented complex challenges. The data wasn’t joined up. Different systems. Different metrics, different formats. Nearly impossible to integrate and analyse. Building backend software from scratch for each and every experience was time consuming and costly. It didn’t always work. Enter XPKit, our Customer Experience Toolkit. Designed from the ground up for experiences with maximum creative flexbility in mind, to make technical development easier, scalable and low cost, and seamlessly and securely connect your different tools, data and workflows together.

Lume transforms data, bridging the gap between data science and data consumption – by including human-centred elements to data exploration and presentation. This technology can help researchers and analysts uncover and publish new insights from their data across different industries, as data is becoming increasingly hard to digest and articulate to different audiences. Imagine exploring Lidar scans from self-driving cars, identifying outliers in financial data, studying the location of single receptors on immune triggering proteins from inside a white blood cell or finding patterns in astronomical data.

Understanding comes from seeing every move of every actor, in stores as well as in movies. Meet your stores: Making changes inside stores without knowing your shoppers is like performing plastic surgery without seeing your patient. Great results come only when the right things are put in the right places. Meet your potential: Like every person, every store could be at least a little bit better. Small and smart changes are enough to start meeting your potential. Show less
