As new media like VR and video games occupy increasingly large swaths of the entertainment landscape, traditional creators are responding with similarly interactive content that develops differently depending on audience input. Brands that find ways to incorporate interactive elements into their offerings can better engage consumers in a mode that increasingly resonates with them.
