Immersive Media Corp. Appoints Larry Logan as Chief Marketing Officer
Former WebMD and Playboy Enterprises executive to bring 360-degree, full- motion video technology to the entertainment and brand marketing industries
"Immersive Media has been the behind-the-scenes pioneer of next-generation video technology, enabling everything from 'street view' mapping for global search engines to unparalleled situational awareness for military and law enforcement groups," said Logan. "Yet the possibilities and uses for interactive, 360-degree video experiences are limitless. As Red Bull, Mercedes-Benz and Armani Jeans have recently shown, Immersive Media technology can produce deeper, more engaging entertainment and branding. And we plan to help more companies capitalize on this immense opportunity."
Logan's background spans film and television marketing, media production, wireless communications and digital imaging.

"This new CMO role is a critical component of our continued growth, particularly as we bring immersive, online video experiences to consumer brand marketers as well as entertainment, media and sports companies."
Prior to joining Immersive Media, Logan was the CMO for Absorbent Technologies Inc. (ATI), where he established Zeba as the world's leading brand for growing more food with less water.
