The global environment has seen immense changes over the last several years, and even more rapidly so since the pandemic.In this brave new world, brands and creatives alike have been turning to technological tools and platforms to recreate in-person experiences and community spaces in the digital realm, and to incorporate tech elements in physical spaces.
