  36. Disney Using data to support a remarkable experience

  37. Disney World Florida is the most visited vacation resort in the world, with an attendance of 25 million annually

  38. Why the MagicBand project? Disney World isn’t an amusement park: It’s a metropolis. Sprawled across 25,000 acres of central Florida, it contains four theme parks, nearly 140 attractions, 300 dining locations, and 36 resort hotels. "On the surface, we had super happy guests, but in reality, we were making them go through so much hassle at the park that down the road, they would simply say, 'No más!' "

  41. eBay Creating a more personal, curated experience

A competition to win €500-1000 worth of products asked customers to capture their magic hour moment and share it on Instagram with #catchMagicHour Time and location-precise pop-ups turn experience into a treasure hunt Be in the right place at the right time to gain access to virtual pop-up shops. WOW ME Capturing consumer moments on social makes for attractive and highly shareable content #catchMagicHour asks customers to take their best photos just before sunrise or sunset to be in with a chance of winning Peak Performance gear.

Technology hasn’t been used for the sake of it. • Brand’s core audience is actually being challenged in a meaningful way – the appeal of the campaign is that it resonates with what they’re already passionate about. • Caters to the “always-on” consumer and shows how m-commerce can be stretched beyond traditional approaches to loyalty. •
