Social Media & Digital Marketing

Media and the Power of Immersive Experience
Immersion
[ih-mur-zhuh n, -shuh n]
noun
1. an act or instance of immersing.
2. the state of being immersed.
3. the state of being deeply engaged or involved; absorption.
The term immersive means to be so interested in something that one’s consciousness begins to be directed towards only what one is reading, watching or listening to. In other words, when one is no longer being informed or entertained, but actually slips into a reality that was created. Immersion, as Georgia Tech digital media professor Janet Murray observed in her book Hamlet on the Holodeck (Free Press, 1997), is to be “surrounded by a completely other reality, as different as water is from air.”
Marketers who understand the potential of immersive stories have a considerable edge over those who try to connect with their audience in less advanced ways. But how can strategists and marketers use this tool to their advantage? How can they learn not only to immerse people but engage them as well?
