J. Crew Launches a New AI-Powered Holiday Experience

— December 21, 2023 — Marketing
Collaborating with Obsess, a virtual platform for creating immersive shopping experiences, J. Crew is launching a new virtual store for the holiday season. Complete with a variety of digital environments such as a snow lodge for women’s apparel and a ski chalet for men’s, this virtual experience provides consumers with a new way to explore the J. Crew brand.

The virtual store features an artificial intelligence (AI) card generator, allowing shoppers to answer questions and receive personalized greeting cards. Additionally, an interactive ski game adds an element of fun, challenging players to navigate around red flags and avoid obstacles.

To round off the events, consumers can also participate in a digital scavenger hunt. This event awards players a cashmere gift and also allows them to browse through J. Crew's holiday offerings more closely.
