Nolan Heimann Co-Managing Partner and Co-Founder Wendy Heimann-Nunes is featured in Blooloop’s latest article exploring what separates commercially successful immersive experiences from costly spectacles.

Alongside leaders from Fever, Moment Factory, Journey, and Immerse LDN, she discusses the critical metrics that matter—guest advocacy and lifetime value, not just ticket sales—and identifies the mistakes that tank profitability: treating immersion as the end goal rather than a tool, ignoring operational excellence, and relying on technology or IP as a substitute for emotional storytelling.

The article dives deeper into the tension between the "wow factor" and reliability, how early collaboration between operators, creatives, and suppliers prevents expensive downstream fixes, and why long-term success depends on designing for human psychology rather than perpetually upgrading hardware.
