Hopscotch Interactive Debuts Talking Walls a New Show on the Past, Present, and Future of Iconic Bay Area Commercial Properties
Kensington, CA (April 23, 2021) Real estate media company Hopscotch Interactive has expanded into original content production, and will premier its new show Talking Walls which will explore the past, present, and future of Bay Area properties, and the untold stories of the iconic buildings that shape our cities, giving viewers a glimpse into the future. Talking Walls is hosted by real estate marketing pioneer Emily Olman (CEO, Hopscotch Interactive) whose expertise in virtual reality and immersive media for real estate, and her curiosity for a deeper connection to the built environment and the effect of the pandemic on our local communities led to the show’s inception:
“The commercial office sector has been deeply affected by the COVID-19 pandemic” says Olman, “I want to use all of the media resources available to tell stories about place and to bring these properties back to life. There is no better time to do this than now, now that people are returning to work and have a unique opportunity to see their cities and future workplaces through different eyes”.
With a combination of in-house video production, a ready supply of amazing properties to showcase, and key technology partnerships, Talking Walls will showcase the world's most cutting-edge property visualization, and extend the experience of Talking Walls to their viewers at home who can dive further into the stories with virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), or 3D media that will accompany each episode.
Episode 1: Reenvisioning the Oldest Bank in Oakland features The Broadway (1212 Broadway, Oakland, CA), which is the home of the oldest bank in Alameda County, premiers Thursday, April 29, 2021 on YouTube, and is co-hosted by Anthony Shell, Principal Broker at Avison Young, the leasing agent for 1212 Broadway and early-adopter of virtual reality for commercial office leasing. Talking Walls is Directed by Kevin Kunze, Media Producer, Hopscotch Interactive, and also features exclusive content from SpatialFirst, the creators of PlaceTime, an augmented reality application for commercial office leasing.

Hopscotch Interactive Named Matterport Service Partner of the Month
Hopscotch Interactive is pleased to announce that it has been featured as the Matterport Service Partner of the Month.
MSP OF THE MONTHEmily Olman: Hopscotch InteractiveThis month we're highlighting Emily Olman of Hopscotch Interactive, a trusted MSP headquartered in Berkeley, California. While we normally reserve MSP of the month for a featured scan, we were too impressed with Emily's initiatives around co-marketing to pass up the chance to highlight her. The efforts set forth by her and her team are fantastic examples of bringing co-marketing activities to the table, and we want this example to shared with the entire MSP community.
In April, the Hopscotch Interactive team will lead a hands-on workshop on Matterport 3D/VR at VRLA, the world's largest VR conference. According to VRLA's website: "The VRLA Expo hosts a thriving community of developers, entrepreneurs, enthusiasts and more, all excited and curious about this modern renaissance of virtual reality, augmented reality and immersive technology."
This co-marketing opportunity was initiated and sourced by Hopscotch Interactive. Emily says: "The most fruitful marketing initiatives for me have been networking within the VR community. I began doing demos about a year ago, and I immediately got the value-proposition." Through her connections made in the community, she discovered the opportunity to showcase her expertise in VR and Matterport at VRLA. As early adopters of VR, the Hopscotch Interactive team is very excited to help drive continued awareness within the community, especially with Matterport at the forefront. One final take away from Emily: "If you're not following VR or AR, don't wait to study up on how it is completely transforming the future of business."
This proactive effort to jointly grow both our businesses and help increase the visibility and mindshare of Matterport in the industry is just the type of initiative we're looking for from MSPs. If you have a co-marketing activity you'd like to submit to us for consideration, please email [email protected].
About Hopscotch InteractiveHopscotch Interactive is a property marketing company for promoting extraordinary spaces in 3D/VR. An MSP since June 2015, Hopscotch Interactive has grown globally to have cameras at work in Northern California, Southern California, and Berlin, Germany.
