We all watch the Super Bowl ads and love them. We all remember those 2 minutes of laughter. They're almost like little experiences that we treasure in our minds and love to talk about with others. What was the last memorable experience you had? Was it connected to a brand? How could you create a memorable experience with your business or product that your customers will always remember? In this workshop we will look at some examples of created experiences, deconstruct them and look to create your own.
