Brand Activations

Let the power of experience and cutting-edge photo campaigns influence your story and bring your brand to life!

If you want to turn your event into something truly unique and memorable, look no further. We have a variety of resources that are brandable and customizable to make your activation unforgettable. From small and intimate events to larger multi-day festivals, or even a multiple city road trip, we can handle it. Your audience will do more than just enjoy a sample, they will experience your brand and take home a photo, branded with your logo and product, to display at home, work, or online. Our creative team will work with you to craft an unparalleled, immersive activation to give your brand the recognition it deserves.

Our Booths, your brand.

The Airstream

This is a one-of-a-kind experience. Built from a genuine Airstream trailer, this booth offers an immersive, all-weather printing photo booth that is perfect for large crowds and big groups. It pairs well with an outside experience like sampling, giveaways or a branded social booth.

The photo Bus

A vintage VW Bus with a fully-equipped photo booth that adds an unmatched sense of personality and flair to your event. Want to stand out from the crowd? A branded Photo Bus is a show-stopping feature people won’t want to miss.

The Social Booth

A custom-wrapped Social photo booth and branded backdrop are great for small footprint and multi-location activations. Your guests get multiple photo options, including still photos, a 4-photo GIF, or a Boomerang, which lets them get creative and encourages online sharing. You’ll work with our creative team to develop a custom, branded overlay that will appear on every photo, GIF, and Boomerang taken.
