It's great to see Publicis Media going above and beyound for their clients, with NextTECHnow hunting breakthrough opportunities amongst the diverse and vibrant London startup ecosystem.

NextTECHnow is one of the few corporate-to-startup programmes out there that actually delivers on its promise. Not only do the NTN team work hard to put startups and brands together when opportunities arise, but they have also provided us with valuable advice to help shape our product offering to benefit all parties.

NTN have been instrumental in developing our partnership with Publicis - their knowledge spans everything from the media industry as a whole to specific clients and internal processes, too - all of which is invaluable to any media startup! Thanks for all of your help 🙂

NTN have helped us grow our augmented reality creative platform from an early stage, by introducing us to the right brand clients. They invited us to pitch to their internal agencies, but also directly to some of their biggest clients, and they managed the communication process clearly and effic... iently. Some of these projects have pushed the boundaries of what can be delivered with new technology, and NTN should be credited for the trust they've put in us and the support they have provided. The team is also a pleasure to work with. more

In my experience, Next Tech Now stands Publicis head and shoulders above most agencies when it comes to driving innovation. From proactive pitching events to finding deep strategic alignment, the Next Tech Now team have the knowledge, network and internal infrastructure to create meaningful collaboration that adds real value on both sides.

NextTechNow has enabled us to work with major FMCG brands to unlock innovative e-commerce solutions resulting in fantastic results. The NTN Partners support has been invaluable and we look forward to continuing our partnership across future projects.

The NextTECHnow team have been instrumental in helping us circumnavigate the media labyrinth of Publicis Media. The NTN team's infectious enthusiasm and proactive hands-on approach has resulted in numerous opportunities of which we are extremely grateful.

NextTechNow is a really unique offering from Publicis. The idea that innovation in the market is driven, a lot of the time, from start up companies who may not have the exposure to large brands. NTN spotted the innovative approach PlaygroundXYZ was taking and has helped get that in front of some maj... or Publicis brands. It's massively beneficial for our business, and also helps brands discover cool, new opportunities. more

NextTECHnow has provided Adludio with a fantastic platform to gain exposure and partner with iconic global brands. From these collaborations we have pushed our creative tech innovations even further and benefited from their consultative approach to each partnership. They are an outstanding team to work with. 

We wanted to find some innovative and different ways to entertain our consumers in a bar setting. After going to a NextTECHnow speed dating session, I got connected with Poplar, an augmented reality specialist start up. We were able to create a whole browser led AR experience with a short turn a... round, which has really really shifted the dial with consumers. Our Jack Daniel’s AR experience has a dwell time of 1.35secs, an impressive way to create connects with our consumers. more

I had a lot of proactive feedback from the marketing teams telling me how much they enjoyed the session / how much their minds were opened / how they feel challenged that we’re currently really not stretching ourselves with our comms – so overall a huge tick.

We are extremely pleased with the results of the IMAX SPECTRE media campaign that MediaVest orchestrated for us. Working with the agency’s NextTECHnow team allowed us to harness an innovative tech partner that could provide us with the capabilities to curate and leverage IMAX attendee’s social p... osts and filter by messaging and positive sentiment to communicate the power of the IMAX Experience in an authentic and targeted manner. Leveraging positive word of mouth is of course, the holy grail for most marketers, and especially for an ‘Experience’ based proposition such as IMAX. Not only did this campaign deliver media efficiency, but tangible commercial benefits, delivering our highest gross revenue to date in the UK and a revenue market share far greater than our share of capacity. It was so successful we immediately commissioned our next campaign via the NextTECHnow team. more

We have been hugely impressed with the NextTECHnow initiative. Through a series of meetings with their startup partners they have inspired and challenged us to thinking differently. But they go far beyond just matchmaking – they present real tech solutions and then support and drive the integratio... n into our plans seamlessly. We are certainly keen to build further tech partnerships for our brands across 2016. more
