Case study

Determine the conditions of success for the creation of a nighttime IP-based experience

A producer of multimedia experiences was developing an immersive nighttime experience in the United Kingdom based on a well-known global intellectual property.

Case study

Identify the intellectual properties with the highest commercial potential for an immersive multimedia experience

Case study

Validate the market potential of a new educational touring exhibition
