Applied Series: My Virtual Fashion Stores Increase Consumer Engagement 10x with Emperia's CEO Olga Dogadkina

Venturing into Fashion Tech

Building Virtual Fashion Stores
The promise of an £80K deal that would never have happened until Olga met her technical co-founder on LinkedIn. Emperia was born. Specialists in building virtual stores for fashion brands, Olga and Peter dig deep into the retail, marketing, and creative strategies necessary to bring virtual spaces to life that resonate with a new generation of shoppers. Olga tells us firsthand how Emperia is not just adapting to the digital age but actively shaping its future, especially with the dawn of the Apple Vision Pro and Emperia's newly released 'creator toolkit'.
What Fashion Brands Want
We unpack the challenges and triumphs of designing digital worlds for top-tier brands such as Dior, Lacoste and L'Occitane, and Olga takes us through success stories highlighting the need for data-driven insights to make their clients happy. 20-minute engagement time anyone? That first £80K contract has subsequently turned into many clients along with a Series A fundraising round of $10M - Emperia seems to be doing something right in the virtual retail space. Tune in now to find out what it took to get there.
Olga and Emperia are featured in chapter 5 of the book Fashion Tech Applied. Check it out.
