Walmart has launched a new series of immersive online storefronts, with a focus on cultural movements inspired by and shaping Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
Justin Breton, Head of Brand Partnerships & Emerging Experiences, Walmart, said: “Over a year ago, we launched Walmart Realm, an immersive shopping experience blending culture, content, and commerce to facilitate product discovery and brand reappraisal.”
“Since then, it’s connected millions of younger shoppers with creator-curated products, interactive mini-games, and trend-driven storytelling through this emerging medium.”
“We’re now introducing our boldest wave of new immersive storefronts yet, all rooted in the cultural movements inspired by and shaping Gen Z and Gen Alpha, as we redefine how they discover, connect, and shop with our brand online.”
