Hello,

Last week, members of our global team came together in London for three days — a valuable chance to connect in person, share ideas and take part in lively discussions about what’s ahead. We’ve come away with a real spring in our step, feeling energised and inspired by what we’re doing and what’s to come! 🌱

Storytelling for a Haunted Landmark 👻

We know the power of audio to create atmosphere, stimulate emotion and in the case of Bodmin Jail Attraction , to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. Working in close collaboration with the team at Bodmin Jail, we created a self-guided audio tour that transforms visitors’ phones into immersive digital guides. Built in 1779 and known as one of the UK’s most haunted locations, the experience introduces former inmates, dramatic and horrifying stories and perhaps even the chilling presence of those still said to wander the jail’s cells. Explore the project and don’t forget to watch the video to hear snippets from this tour. https://imagineear.com/portfolio/bodmin-jail/

Looking ahead …. 📅🏛️

• All around the world, celebrations are underway to mark the Lunar New Year, which began on 17 February. Wherever you are, there’s a good chance something is happening nearby from parades to traditional performances and festive markets.
• Spring is well and truly around the corner: on 19 March, Keukenhof opens its gates once again in the Netherlands. This beautifully manicured, picturesque park is famous for its tulips and more than 7 million spring-flowering bulbs. Dotted throughout the gardens you’ll find some terrific sculptures. The park is only open until May 10 — because nature follows its own schedule after all! https://keukenhof.nl/en/
• Petra Brinkhof -de Rijk , Noortje (Eleonore) Heijboer and Maria Noujaim from our Imagineear team will be at SITEM in Paris from March 25 to 26. We’ll have a stand there at A13 so make sure to come along and see our devices in action (including our new Nostro and Sonato) or just have a chat with us about what we’ve been up to. We’re looking forward to it!
