The 7 secrets of success – in the virtual world

More expansive. More exciting. More memorable.
This is today’s virtual world.
Amaze your audiences. Blow your competitors away.
Go virtual, or go home.

On the web. In virtual reality (VR). Augmented reality (AR). And the metaverse. Eye-popping virtual tours and virtual showrooms; training and onboarding experiences; show-stopping events and unforgettable brand launches.

Marketers, recruiters, educators… whether you’re with us or not, this is where the world is going. So come on, let’s take the virtual leap together.

And here are seven reasons why Circus are the people to work with…

Serious Experience

We’ve been creating immersive virtual experiences since VR, AR and 360 were first conceived. And we’ve picked up a few awards along the way. (deep breath)

Digital Impact Award and VEGA Platinum Award for our KFC of the Future VR experience
Care Sector Award for our virtual content with BUPA
‘Innovation Of The Year’ from FEDESSA

Virtual trailblazers

The revolution will be virtual. And we should know, because we’re leading it. We’ve seen what it can do for our clients and their customers. And we think you should be part of it too. When it comes to the latest virtual tech and the creativity needed to stay ahead of consumer trends, we’re right there, sharpening the cutting edge. Designing fantasy 3D environments, building metaverse brand experiences, experimenting with brand-new mixed reality techniques… leading our clients into the virtual future with confidence.

Walking the talk

Our belief in the virtual world runs deep. We live, breathe, eat and sleep it. In fact, when we’re not creating virtual solutions for our clients, we’re using them ourselves – every day of the week. We run a virtual office (we even have a virtual office pooch), have team meetings in the metaverse, host VR webinars, attend virtual training and organise virtual get-togethers. We also do in-the-flesh human too, but techies gotta tech. Online or off, headsets or handshakes, we hope you’ll join us sometime.

We’re an award-winning crew, and anyone we hook up with (the gang of specialists we call our ‘Halo team’) is just as talented and obsessive.

Between us, we can take on any project based in the virtual world.

3 Steps to Perfection

It’s not just the tech, it’s how we get you there. And in a word, that’s ‘together’. We call this deceptively simple methodology the Carousel®. Every project goes through this tried-and-tested, three-stage process to make sure it stays on track and on schedule. Your team and ours, every step of the way. Together we CONCEIVE the best possible creative answers to your challenges; CAPTURE the highest quality, most impactful visuals and CREATE a bespoke user experience, ready for launch.

Giving Back

Amazing projects. Amazing technology. Amazing clients. It’s a privileged place to be. That’s why we launched ‘Circus Gives Back’, to donate virtual projects to selected charities who need a virtual boost. Each year, we choose an organisation that’s doing something extra-special in the world. Then we work with them to create interactive tools or immersive experiences that help them do even more. In 2023, we donated our skills to Circus Starr (no relation) and in 2024, we worked with the NHS and Guy’s Cancer Academy.

Future tech for a better future

At Circus, we take sustainability seriously. That’s why we partner with Ecologi, the world’s most trusted climate action platform. This means that every time you work with us on a new VR or AR technology project, we’ll plant a mini-forest in your name. We also invest in clean energy and infrastructure projects, and eco community initiatives. In fact, we’re well on target to hit our net-zero goal in 2025. You can see our work with Ecologi here.
