Virtual Entertainment and Events

Brands Pivot to Virtual Platforms in Light of COVID-19

— September 22, 2020 — About
With the new standards that arose due to the COVID-19 pandemic this year, the entertainment industry found ways to strive through virtual capabilities. Many companies pivoted to re-create authentic experiences online for consumers due to the lack of in-person events.

Virtual platforms allowed for companies to exercise their creative boundaries and create engaging experiences that enhanced their mode of entertainment. Brands such as Fortnite leveraged their digital expertise by collaborating with neighboring partners such as Warners Bros to create in-game movie nights. Additionally, London Fashion Week is expanding its audience by shifting online as well, engaging visitors with interactive design and films.

To learn more about virtual entertainment and events, join us at this year's Future Festival World Summit Virtual from November 10 - 12th. Participate in three days of live inspiration, insight, and action. Get the first day of keynotes free. Click here to register.
