WXO Case Studies tell the story of how experts across the Experience Economy have faced challenges, solved problems, and either pioneered new ideas or just figured out how to make something work really well. We believe these experience-based ideas are highly transferable, and that you should be able to take what they discovered in their sector, and apply it in your area of the Experience Economy.If you’d like to share your own case study with the WXO community, please get in touch.

For our first case study, we track the story of how a brand experience agency named Swamp Motel turned the Covid crisis into a sea of opportunity by going digital for the first time.

So, without further ado…

• Covid-19 plunged live immersive experience industry into crisis in a matter of days. Suddenly there was zero revenue, and no way to deliver events.
• While much of the industry was catastrophising about the future, brand experience agency Swamp Motel set about transferring what they do best – storytelling – from offline to online, meeting their customers where they were.
• The result was an award-winning digital experience that won them prestige, new clients, and a new avenue for their business, both during and after the pandemic. Plus, in the process they made the much-desired leap from brands handing them briefs to clients giving them commissions.
• Swamp Motel’s co-founders tell us how they did it through the classic storytelling form of The Hero’s Journey, taking us from the Old World to the New World and explaining the trials they encountered along the way.

Swamp Motel’s co-founders: Daniel Hemsley, Clem Garritty, Ollie Jones, and fellow Director Will Herman.

Swamp Motel began after the co-founders took on some fr

Sophie Langham  

An English actress famous for playing one half of Walford's first lesbian couple, in the popular soap opera Eastenders. Her character, Binnie Roberts, made her first appearance in 1994 and left in 1995. During her time on the show Langham's character and her on-screen girlfriend Della Alexander (Michelle Joseph) made headlines in the British press when EastEnders screened its first lesbian kiss. EastEnders added to the controversy by making Della and Binnie a mixed-race couple. Coincidentally, Sophie Langham and Michelle Joseph both attended Rose Bruford College within a year of each other. Since leaving Eastenders Langham has appeared in episodes of Jonathan Creek (1998); The Bill (1997; 2001); Holby City (2003) and Doctors (2004).

The interactive murder-mystery production perfect for the lockdown fatigued.

Broadway’s long awaited reopening this month after the lengthiest shutdown in its 250-year long history has been a startling reminder of the effect COVID has had on the world of theatre. Much like work, shopping, film, and even socialisation, theatre has had to undergo the difficult process of digitisation. UK producer Swamp Motel were pioneers of this transition, with their interactive occult escape room Isklander trilogy debuting in April 2020. Since then, Isklander has managed to attract a monolithic audience of 600,000 – an impossible feat for traditional theatre. After a year-long wait, it has now finally arrived in Australia.

I watched the first of the self-contained episodes of the Isklander trilogy, Plymouth Point. The show opens with a pre-recorded performance by Illona Linthwaite, playing head of the neighbourhood watch Katherine Stewart. She tells us that a young woman named Ivy (Bathsheba Piepe) has gone missing. Katherine abruptly disappears from view and tells us that she is experiencing technical glitches – a problem relatable to anyone tasked with spending their lockdown time video conferencing. In this case, however, the video cutting off is intentional. Katherine continues to guide us by chatting through text.

Our first task is finding Ivy’s Facebook profile to gather clues about her disappearance. Her Facebook profile is quite well constructed and contains just enough information for us to figure out the password to her email address. These first few challenges feel deeply satisfying – they are challenging but simultaneously intuitive and lead to the discovery of information that genuinely makes you feel as though you’re solving a disappearance.

After hacking into Ivy’s email address, we discover a trail of emails that instil a very ominous feeling about her disappearance. This feeling con
