Join haircare trailblazer Shannon Otto, associate vice president of consumer engagement at Amika, and Emiliana Santandreu Bazó, senior director of development at immersive technology pioneer Napster (formerly Infinite Reality), as they unveil the colorful journey behind Amika’s inspiring use of gamification and immersive experiences.  This candid conversation, complete with a demo and dry hairstyling with sample Amika haircare products, explores how the playful “Amikaverse” brings the brand to life in a digital world.
