The 2016 OMMA Awards:

Mobile Marketing: All Mobile Campaign Category Finalist

To promote the launch of Peugeot’s new 308 GTi last December, Immersion, in partnership with Opera Mediaworks and OMD UK, created a haptic-enhanced mobile video ad that allowed viewers actually feel the rev of the car engine starting up right in the palm of their hand.

The Digital Trading Awards:

Best Video Campaign Category Finalist

In partnership with Opera Mediaworks and Horizon Media Inc., Immersion created a haptic-enhanced mobile video ad for Stoli Vodka. Viewers felt the pulse of a martini shaker as they watched.

Both campaigns saw a dramatic increase in completed video views, click-through rates and overall brand sentiment and awareness. Immersion’s TouchSense technology allows marketers to connect brands to their audiences in a way that is only possible when visual, audio and touch come together. These campaigns represent the future of mobile sensory advertising, creating fully immersive digital brand experiences which engage all of our senses and create a more impactful impression on consumers.
