Everything is different now, but people are the same. We may be isolating at home, but we are already supplementing real human contact with the virtual.

Our hunger for stimulus and entertainment is the same, but with almost all sport, soaps, reality TV, cinema and theatre on hold, an enormous gap has emerged. Sports teams and leagues are running out of interesting content. Broadcasters have gaps in the schedule. Brands need a reason to be relevant. Companies need to keep their staff motivated. Schools need to keep students and teachers engaged.

Houseparty has emerged as the isolation app of choice, only allows 6 people in a virtual room

Zoom is great, Houseparty is fun, Facetime good quality and TikTok continues to amuse. But they lack creative flexibility and by relying entirely on them, you’re giving away your most valuable assets — attention and data.

So we’ve put together a package of technology solutions and content ideas to solve the problem with fast, reliable and effective experiences that:
