Talking content strategy with IKEA:
The future is immersive

Podcast - Marketing

30th November 2022

Ensuring your customers experience a consistent and frictionless journey requires an omnichannel, “phygital” experience—one that connects them online and in-store. Bridging that gap between the digital and physical world is no longer a trend, but a key and necessary strategy in this new era of technology. So, GDS Group Presenter Sarah Tijou speaks with Bryn Rees, the Director of Digital Content Strategy at IKEA about mixed-realities, knowledge-powered adaptive content, and everyone’s favourite – omnichannel. Let us know what you think in the comments or email podcast@gdsgroup.com.
