How We Turned AR Into a Stage for Experience (Not Just a Gimmick)
Across projects with Jägermeister, Hasbro, McDonald’s and BMW Motorrad, one truth emerges… AR isn’t about creating disposable interactions, it adds new dimensions of what’s already there.
A Book That Came Alive
You make it interactive and adjustable.
With Jägermeister, we transformed their brand bible into a hybrid of print and digital using our Schnizzl engine to embed unlockable layers of media, stories and tools directly into the pages.
Readers could scan, reveal and share exclusive content, turning reading into exploration.


The results:
100,000+ activations within the first 30 days,
Winner of multiple awards, including the ICMA Award for Corporate Books.
Bringing the Experience Home
Our solution came in the form of AR-powered product experiences delivered directly through social media. Users could explore models, features and even the sound of the motor in immersive 3D from their living rooms.
The impact spoke for itself:
- Interaction and reach multiplied tenfold compared to 2019 benchmarks.
- Awarded the German Brand Award ’21 in the Lighthouse Project category.

Playful AR for Everyday Icons
McDonald’s is a perfect example of why. They don’t need AR to create attention from scratch. They already have the biggest advantage any interactive experience can ask for: distribution. Millions of real-world visits create millions of chances to try something new without forcing users to search, download, or “care enough” beforehand.
If you can combine a physical trigger (packaging, a collectible, a printed code) with a clear reward (a mini game, a character moment, a surprise unlock), you can turn AR into something people actually use.

Different Brands, Same Magic
Let’s Build the Next Layer
By combining storytelling logic with interaction, we help brands make reality itself their most powerful media channel.
