Extended Reality (XR) — encompassing AR, VR, and MR — is revolutionizing how brands connect with consumers. By offering immersive experiences, brands are not just engaging their audiences but driving measurable business results. Here’s how some leading brands are successfully using XR in their campaigns:
XR technology helps brands achieve:
- Higher Conversion Rates: AR try-on experiences and VR campaigns boost conversions significantly (up to 40% more in some cases).
- Enhanced Engagement: AR ads engage users for 85+ seconds, far more than traditional ads.
- Improved ROAS: Brands integrating XR into their campaigns see up to 80% higher Return on Ad Spend (ROAS), with AR ads driving 20% increases and VR campaigns enhancing brand recall.
- PepsiCo: Their AR "Pepsi Max Bus Shelter" in London transformed an everyday bus stop into an immersive, exciting experience, gaining millions of views and widespread social buzz.
- Coca-Cola: The "Share a Coke with AR" campaign allowed consumers to unlock virtual rewards by scanning packaging, leading to a 7% sales increase.
