Isobar's innovations dance to their own beat

Amid a tumultuous 2019 for Dentsu Aegis Network, Isobar largely kept its head down and got on with helping clients transform digitally. While taking a step back at some award shows, Isobar is channelling more of its creativity into improving commerce, CX and marketing through technology. In 2019 we saw the agency introduce everything from industry-first blockchain-enabled campaigns to robotic ice-cream scoops.

So is Isobar's transformation paying off?
