About V‑Engage
Making Communications Strategic and Sustainable
Founded in early 2020, V-Engage is an Australia-based independent specialist business consultancy helping companies navigate the digital to virtual world, and complex communication as well as marketing matters.
Working with a network of on-demand business consultants and collaborators virtually across the globe who are all experts in marketing, communications and digital to virtual world solutions, we help your business be immersive world ready and future-forward.
Further leveraging our Founder’s extensive strategic business experience in financial services and professional services, we help bring brands to life by exploring smart and strategic ways to communicate about your business in the immediate, digital to virtual world – including Virtual Reality (VR), Metaverse, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics solutions.
Our business clients are emerging and established leaders across industries including financial services, education, medical, property, and technology, who are ready to advance their business and stay future-forward.
Examples of work we do
Regardless of the stage of the business lifecycle, our focus is to help businesses make sense of communications and marketing by staying ahead of the digital to virtual world.
You will find that we will often start with a health check of where your business is today, to assess readiness before brainstorming a tailored activation plan with options.
Here are a small selection of some examples in terms of virtual world readiness to consider:
Brand awareness
- allowing your stakeholders to experience your brand through virtual reality
- giving your still art collection or exhibition an uplift through augmented reality
Onboarding new employees
- 360-degree immersive virtual reality tour of your office headquarters
- Meet the leadership team from different locations for an offsite in the metaverse
Training and Professional Development
- Experience ‘a day in the life’ a job using a virtual reality headset
- Be in the shoes of inequality through role-play simulation scenarios.
We also support businesses with bespoke advisory services on navigating complex communications and marketing matters from internal communications to social media, media engagements and crisis communications.
Working closely with you, we will find the most efficient and effective solutions.
Our biggest test is to ensure the approach is realistic for your business, feasible to implement and sustainable for your unique business over time.
As each business is different, our consultants are available to consult, coach and guide you through to implementation of your bespoke strategic plan as required.
