Research has shown that involving people will enhance awareness by 80%. The main goal of our brand experiences is to give visitors an involving experience that will enforce and enhance awareness of the company, a specific product or a specific project. The NorthernLight brand experiences enhance knowledge, change attitudes and influence behavior. We develop brand experiences from strategy and creative concept to design, fabrication, implementation and evaluation.

DIGITAL EXPERIENCES

New technologies lead to amazing possibilities to make experiences that are purely digital. These digital experiences go beyond the physical space. They add a layer of storytelling and gaming to the real world. For these digital experiences NorthernLight uses technologies such as RFID, augmented reality, virtual reality, location based storytelling and location based gaming.

Smart Interiors

Smart interiors is our name for a new type of projects, in which the experience itself is secondary to the primary function of the space. NorthernLight adds a layer of experience, a layer of ‘smartness’, to these spaces. This experience layer can serve to inform, to communicate the brand, to attract people or to enhance repeat visits. Examples of these spaces are offices, retail, restaurants, train stations and airports.
