Based on some of their award-winning productions, they will walk through their concept development, inspiration sources and theoretical approaches in order to create the next generation of media entertainment. MANND is a XR production house based out of Aarhus, Denmark and established in 2017 by co-founders Maria Herholdt Engermann and Signe Ungermand. Our mission at MANND is to develop and challenge the use and understanding of XR in order to create the next era of branded content showcasing, communication and shared experiences. We create a broad spectrum of experiences that vary in intent and content. Some products are created through an artistic expression with a fascination for investigating different aspects of how to further push storytelling boundaries. Other pieces focus on helping companies and organisations showcase their product and/or message through VR & AR solutions that can efficiently help re-engineer company value chains.
