Office Depot Teams Up With R5 for Back-to-School Campaign

Retailer layers social, video into augmented reality

Office Depot is the latest retailer to bet on augmented reality to target millennial back-to-school shoppers this year. The retailer is launching a mobile campaign for the second year that integrates image recognition into its shopping app.

This year’s effort plays up the brick-and-mortar experience more than last year, with interactive in-store displays. "Last year was more product-based—this year we have the opportunity to have kids personalize whatever items they like," said Stephanie Gutierrez, vp of retail marketing at Office Depot.
