Tech-Infused Workspaces for Digital Natives

When you think of corporate communications, you’re likely to picture channels like public relations, staff newsletters and intranets. Now look around you. Chances are, you’re looking at a powerful communications platform that businesses often overlook: your very own workplace. Workplaces are physical manifestations of corporate brand and culture.

If you’re looking for ways to tease your corporate communications out into your workplace in a flexible way, transform your brand messages into interactive shared experiences for employees and visitors alike, and evolve your campus into a tech-infused draw for new digital native talent, this session is for you.

In the session you will learn:

  • How tech-infused work environments capture the imagination and attention of digital natives
  • How organizations use big data to tell digestible brand stories
  • How to create the most seamless experience through branded digital stories
