4 CONTINENTS, 5 CITIES, 1 NEW BRAND
VRE worked with Investec Asset Management and Shelton Fleming to design a VR experience to launch Ninety One, the new company formed from the demerger from Investec the parent company.
Our creative team developed a truly immersive experience showcasing VR at its best and allowed users to experience the journey to their new brand while respecting their past and where they came from.
Investec required us to deliver at 5 worldwide locations all on the same day with our teams flying out to New York, Johannesburg, Capetown, HongKong and London.
We also took this opportunity to capture the values employees wished to see in the new company in VR as part of a values capture activity within the experience.
We loved working with VRE! Based on a concept and storyboard from our design team their incredible team was able to create an immersive world that guided users down a pathway charting the history and evolution of our client’s brand. The end product was genuinely better than I could have imagined. As a company VRE’s communication was top notch – at no point were we left lacking. I was also impressed by the safeguarding considerations made for staff operating in higher risk cities overseas. They continue to be a partner we know we can rely on and our first port of call when it comes to VR Experiences.
Graham Smith, Shelton Fleming, London
It was great working with VRE; with a short lead time you captured the essence of our vision on a very important day for our firm and successfully helped us bring our people on board with our new brand.

WORKING WITH GOOGLE TO DELIVER THEIR LIVE EVENTS
Supporting Google with live events at their HQ in London we have run VR at a range of their events and also their Automation Summit.
We were able to use VR on stage for their Automation Tech summit, providing a VR experience with one of our team creatives building a VR environment in real time for their audience to watch.
We run live events anywhere in the world and can work with you to deliver creative immersive experiences off the shelf or bespoke for your events.
Huge range of possibilities
We can provide an incredible variety of solutions – from off the shelf-licensed software to bespoke VR and AR content that meets your brands needs perfectly. Whether you want AR holograms for demonstration, VR for fully immersive experience or 360 content for a large audience, we can offer you all of that and much more.
Your Event Process
Event brief and creative discussion
Firstly, we establish your objectives, what is practical and feasible for your budget. We will also tell you if we think VR is not the best solution (we have done this in the past) but generally speaking we are always able to provide some great ideas for using VR and AR as creativity is one of our strengths. We then identify whether off the shelf licensed software would meet your event needs or if it’s better to design your own VR content to match your brief exactly.
We think experience is key when it comes to VR as it is very hard to explain how it feels to use it, so we try and get our clients to try it out early on, in fact in our first scoping meetings it is the first thing we do as it answers a large number of questions immediately with selected content that we use. To this end we are happy to come to your office to demo VR and AR for event planning, so you can see for yourself the impact it can have and get an idea of how the virtual environment feels.

Event delivery
We will agree a early set up time with you on the day of the event to ensure there is plenty of calibration time and to ensure we can adapt to any last minute requests on the day.
At the event our skilled and friendly facilitators will provide your guests or teams with a memorable and entertaining day and keep in touch to ensure you are updated on event progress.
We can also run special competitions, or create additional features to enable guest contact details to be captured so they can then be followed up and contacted after the event.

Case Studies
Fischer
Fischer had an important company-wide event and commissioned VRE to create a VR application that allowed delegates to use their fixing products and see how they work.
Working closely with their marketing, sales and engineering team VRE created a virtual construction site. This allowed users to try out Fischer products, drill holes and actually fit them, all from the safety of a virtual environment.
Due to health and safety Fischer would normally be restricted from giving this hands-on experience to many users, using VR however massively expands the number of people who can now come into contact with their products and see exactly how easy they are to use and the process for doing so.
Fischer now plan to roll this VR application out as a training tool for their internal staff, with the VR application being suitable for both events, marketing and also training, thus expanding the number of uses for their VR project.
This project demonstrates how VR events can create memorable experiences with users also reporting they know exactly how to use Fischer products now after one quick VR experience.
“We gave VRE quite a broad brief, not knowing anything about virtual reality and the benefits and abilities of the software. The VRE team developed and delivered a bespoke package to the business that exactly suited our requirements, even when we weren’t fully aware of them ourselves. The software platform perfectly emulated a “real life” construction site and the usable items (drills, anchors, cleaning utensils, steel plates) reflected the processes needed for perfect anchor installation. The VRE team really made our first steps into the world of VR much easier. So much so that the business as a whole have decided to further our training resources with the addition of VR.”
– Dan Czerwinski, Head of Marketing
Debenhams Make Up
VRE developed a VR application allowing users to apply a range of makeup and practice a broad set of make up skills.
Working with their marketing and events team we created an experience for a launch event that allowed customers to learn key skills, through experimentation, using their products in a number of different ways and then quickly and easily wiping the results and starting again.
Results from the 3d makeup models were saved and printed allowing guests to capture their work and also aiding dissemination on social media channels.
“We asked the team to build us an interactive and creative platform for our Christmas 2018 Press Show. Despite a very quick turnaround time, they delivered exactly what we were after and helped us to deliver a very successful press day. Thanks VRE team!”
– Shannen, Debenhams Public Relations Team
Daiichi-Sankyo
Working with a major pharmaceuticals company VRE helped them create an AR experience for the Hololens.
This AR experience educated clients with regards the features and benefits of their new innovative product packaging, showing how it prevents missed dosage and improved the reliability and convenience of the process.
VRE developed the content and also deployed this with multiple Hololens, at a show in Munich as part of our joined up content creation and event services.
