In order to increase the employees’ knowledge of the brand and their enthusiasm for it in a simple and practical way, Porsche has developed a web-based application: the Digital Brand Academy. It can be used at any time and without installing an app.
Using augmented reality elements, the application guides users through the chapters “Where have we come from?”, “What do we stand for?” and “Where are we going?” in a fun and interactive way. During this digital journey, they learn what defines Porsche as a brand and also have the opportunity to experience the brand first-hand – for example, by taking a virtual drive in the Porsche Taycan.
Integrated experience thanks to 3D and interactive elements
3D scenes, videos and interactive elements are interwoven to create an integrated experience. The technology encourages users to actively become a part of the story and provides an easy way for them to train their brand knowledge from any location. The application therefore offers a new kind of brand training.
“When developing the Digital Brand Academy, our aim from the beginning was not just to impart brand knowledge, but to create an active and immersive user experience that delivers content in a fun and engaging way,” says Deniz Keskin, Director of Brand Management at Porsche.
With the Digital Brand Academy, Porsche brings its brand to life in an innovative yet practical way. And with an attractive design. The Digital Brand Academy therefore also recently received two Red Dot Awards. The jury was particularly impressed by the creativity and innovation of the application in the categories “Interface & UX” and “Brand Design & Identity”.
The web-based application is available to employees in the languages German, English, French, Spanish and Mandarin.
