IBM's Hybrid Cloud Solutions was envisioned to be just another deck that would be used as sales pitches for potential clients and businesses. What happens in these pitches are the usual online/offline meetings where we communicate our capabilities. The bold idea we came up with was to tell a story in a not so ordinary way. A way to make these touchpoints (Online meeting experience) memorable, more engaging and captivating, to show the clients we care and that they are in good hands.
Metaverse being the Buzz at the time, we thought of immortalising our Hybrid Cloud Capabilities in a Virtual space where workshops, discussions, tours and walkthroughs could be conducted.
Metaverse brings with itself digital avatars that can be customised to fictional and non-fictional characters and can be a better medium of self expression.
After a discussion between our Creative Directors, the team and Matt Wybrow's HCS Team, we agreed upon a 'Room' idea as a good start to segregrate topics of discussions.
Following the idea, We started diverging to explore different and Unique directions on how the architecture of the whole experience could be.
