To help promote their event hashtag(#TWICE2015), Akin Eso and Wed Expo used PhotoGenic’s Hashtag Activation. The unique idea and services offered encouraged participation and saw a 200% increase in engagement over 2 days.
WED Expo was looking to add a fun, interactive, and socially driven activity to The Wedding Industry Conference and Exhibition in Lagos. Enabled by our #Hashtag Technology and by providing our InstaPrint Stations, they were able to incorporate On-site prints of Instagram photos, a wireless photo slideshow, and a memorable activity for attendees.
In addition to the wireless slideshow, our InstaPrint stations monitored, displayed, and printed the tagged Instagram photos. The branded 4″ x 6″ displayed #TWICE2015 logo and messaging and provided guests with a fun takeaway.
