PEPSICO’S Bett12 Book

WHAT WE THINK ●  In line with their new commitment. ●  Allows the brand to gather data on consumer preferences (products, timing, etc). ●  Based on growing consumer’s need to get more information about the products they purchase. ●  Reinvented user experience. ●  As credit card use is increasingly popular, digital payment facilitates the transaction

Champagne 360o

WHAT The Comité Interprofessionnel de Vin de Champagne (CIVC) has worked on the implementation of the "360 Champagne" operation. The principle is simple: use virtual reality to discover the hills, houses and cellars of Champagne who is on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Site. HOW ●  The application 360 Champagne (available on Android and iOS) offers unprecedented

immersion in the heart of the Champagne region. ●  Three possibilities to live this unique experience: 360 ° with your smartphone, your computer

via Youtube or 3D with a pair of google cardboard. The use of virtual reality helmets (Oculus Rift, google cardboard) is possible to maximize the experience.

WHAT WE THINK ●  In this project the CIVC tried to reach a

younger crowd to make their product more appealing to the new generation.

●  New technologies might not be the appropriate tool to attract their target which leads us to question if the ROI is worth it.
