Projects
At Kraftend, we developed an online event platform for Arçelik Global (which consists of brands like Arçelik, Beko, Grundig and more). On the platform teams create live streams where thousands of group employees can watch and interact with.
At Kraftend, we helped Samsung, a Worldwide Olympic Partner, to launch digital first activations to connect media, athletes and fans worldwide. We've designed and developed a virtual experience, enhancing the Olympic games through its immersive technology. The virtual event area took place at both 2020 Tokyo and 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
At Kraftend, We developed a virtual world that visualizes the 90s Istanbul where Love101 takes place. In addition to many interactive experiences, we also hosted the live broadcast for the final season premiere watched by hundreds of thousands of people.
At Kraftend, we designed the user experience and developed the infrastructure for the virtual expo platform for Autoshow Mobility. As a result Autoshow Mobility is the world's first and largest digital autoshow with 37 brands and more than 350 vehicles. Our technology helped to make the experience more engaging and interactive.
At Kraftend, We have developed the digital festival website where fans can enjoy virtual Istanbul, watch live streams, engage in interactive challenges and much more for Red Bull M.E.O. which is a competitive celebration of the mobile gaming scene where winners from 28 countries compete to identify the best players.
Turkcell, the largest GSM operator in Turkey, chose Kraftend for developing interactive experiences in their stores. As a result, between 2018-2020, we produced and developed more than 50 interactive contents for the largest interactive digital signage project with over 1.200 store locations.
