We are thrilled to announce the official launch of the 8th Wall Partner Program, a first-of-its-kind global network of trusted agencies and creative studios that have proven experience in bringing web-based augmented reality experiences to market. Our Partner Program is designed to connect brands with agencies so that they can harness the power of WebAR to engage users in new ways and achieve business results with augmented reality. 

At launch, the Partner Program consists of over 40 partners from around the world, all of which have launched commercial WebAR experiences for top brands across industry verticals such as CPG, QSR, automotive, entertainment, fashion, beauty and banking. This program is a first for the advertising and marketing industry and aims to accelerate the use of WebAR by brands.

“8th Wall is excited to recognize and raise up the agencies and creative studios as part of our official Partner Program, all who have launched extraordinary WebAR experiences for major brands using the 8th Wall platform,” says Erik Murphy-Chutorian, CEO and Founder of 8th Wall. “As demand for WebAR continues to grow, brands and agencies around the world will be able to look to this network of partners to find new and innovative ways to engage with their customers.” 

Since our first full year in 2019, 8th Wall’s AR engine has powered over 1,000 commercial experiences. The demand for WebAR has grown dramatically over this time, with brands increasingly seeking agencies to develop WebAR projects and agencies building businesses which center around WebAR. Behind the scenes, 8th Wall has been facilitating business between brands and agencies and the 8th Wall Partner Program formalizes and scales these efforts, making it easier for parties to connect directly. Today, brands can find 8th Wall Partners and view their work by visiting the Partners page on our website.
