Hashtag Activation at Your Next Event

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.

The results for #TWICE2015 Hashtag Activation were simply impressive. With about 1.3 Million in potential reach, 870 Mentions, and about 200% increase in engagement in just 2 days, everyone is now looking forward to #TWICE2016.
