“Through our partnership with EX.CO, we were able to use their technology to engage the She Can STEM campaign audience (girls ages 11-15) with interactive content that communicated the message in a meaningful, inspiring and empowering way. The activation resulted in above average engagement and provided us with valuable data for user segmentation and conversion,” says Ellyn Fisher, SVP, Marketing and Communications, Ad Council.

“Sky News always looks for bold ways of telling stories, and EX.CO offers us the ability to do that with interactive and engaging formats that help elevate our award winning journalism,” says Ronan Hughes, Output Editor, Sky News.

The platform launches under the new brand, EX.CO – The Experience Company – since the company was founded with the belief that content should always make an impact on its consumers, and for that to happen it must be an experience that encourages user interaction and involvement. Interactive content involves motor movements and choices made by the user, which – according to neuroscience – activate a bigger range of brain areas and leads to stronger memory of the information.
