For Carter Jensen, installing cameras into ceilings and drilling digital displays into the walls of Minneapolis-based agency Periscope to test prototypes of new mobile and emerging technology is just a typical day at work.
As Periscope’s senior emerging media and platform innovation strategist, Jensen is the agency’s go-to guy responsible for understanding future-looking innovations like location-based mobile beacons and platforms including Snapchat and Instagram and finding ways to make them work for clients such as Trolli and Target. “I’m the one who’s doing my best to not start a fire on my desk as I’m soldering different things together,” said Jensen, 27.
