In Episode 5 of Brands In Play (yes, already!), Albane Prioux and Nic Hill 🔜 GDC sit down with Gianna Valintina, Global Head of Strategic Partnerships at Spatial, to discuss how brands are using Spatial’s creative freedom to build immersive and interactive experiences.
Spatial empowers brands and developers to create entirely unique interactive worlds, from high-fidelity gaming experiences to story-driven commerce activations. This is true for Walmart’s RPG-inspired Unlimited experience, Vogue’s digital fashion activations, or Hugo Boss’s successful e-commerce integration, Spatial is proving that immersive spaces are about participation.
