A Branded Photo on Their Phone in Under 60 Seconds.

A photographer captures the participant using a professional DSLR camera. The image transfers wirelessly to the activation tablet in seconds — no cables, no delays, no manual intervention. The participant browses the gallery on-screen, picks their favourite shot, and receives it on their phone.

Before delivery, a custom transparent branded overlay is applied — your logo, campaign frame, event name, or hashtag embedded directly into the image. Every photo that leaves is a piece of your brand in the participant's pocket.

Share-to-unlock mechanic. Participants who share their branded photo on social media using the campaign hashtag unlock a reward — a discount code, prize entry, or instant win. Ben Sherman achieved an 81% voucher redemption rate using this mechanic across 4 instore locations.

Product 02

Their Story. Your Brand. Sent in Seconds.

The activation tablet captures a short branded video of the participant — no camera crew, no post-production delays. The video plays back instantly on-screen, with a countdown timer to prepare participants before recording begins.

Every recording carries a selectable branded video frame overlay, and is delivered via email, with a personalised QR code generated instantly for direct mobile access. For Cadbury P.S.'s Valentine's campaign, we printed the QR code as a 5cm × 5cm sticker — handed to each participant to attach to a gifted Cadbury P.S. bar.

Standard Video
Up to 60-second branded video with countdown timer, instant playback, and re-record capability before the participant confirms and sends.
Slow Motion Video
High-frame-rate capture produces dramatic slow-motion playback — a consistently crowd-favourite format at lifestyle, sports, and festival events.
Boomerang
Short looping clips that play forward and backward — high-energy, shareable on all social platforms, and a natural fit for consumer brand activations.

QR Sticker Printer. For the Cadbury P.S. "Share the Love" campaign, we printed personalised QR stickers on-site in seconds — no manual handling, no failures across 2,475 videos at 14 venues. Participants attached the sticker to a gifted chocolate bar and gave it to someone they cared about.

Eight Modes. Every Audience. Any Event.

From a premium corporate gala to a youth music festival — Social Wiiv's booths are configured to match your brand, audience, and activation objectives. Choose the mode, or combine them.

Standard Photo

Professional DSLR image with branded overlay. The most proven format — used by Ben Sherman across 4 flagship stores for 6 months, capturing 760 branded photos.

Standard Video

Branded video capture up to 60 seconds, with countdown timer, instant playback, and re-record option before the participant confirms and sends.

Slow Motion

High-frame-rate capture with dramatic slow-motion playback. A crowd-pleaser at events like the Samsung Rage Festival and Audi Sport Festival of Motoring.

Boomerang

Short looping clip that plays forward and backward — built for Instagram and social sharing. High engagement for youth-focused activations and festivals.

GIF Booth

A rapid sequence of photos stitched into a looping branded GIF animation — lightweight, shareable via WhatsApp, and memorable across all social and messaging apps.

Green Screen

Chroma-key replaces the background with any branded scene — product launches, virtual destinations, campaign imagery, or fantastical worlds. Dramatic and always brand-on.

AR Filters

Augmented reality face filters and branded overlays applied in real-time — interactive, deeply engaging for younger audiences, and highly shareable on social media.

Strip Prints

3 or 4 shots in a branded vertical strip format — optionally printed on-site as a physical keepsake. Loved at corporate events, sports sponsorships, and retail activations.

Five Ways to Deliver a Branded Moment.

Every participant gets their branded photo or video on their phone. How it gets there depends on your event — we support five delivery methods, including RFID-triggered automatic sharing.

WhatsApp

Delivered as a media message — opens instantly, saved to gallery automatically. Highest open rate and fastest delivery of all channels. Most popular choice for consumer activations.

Email

Full resolution image or video attached to a branded email template — ideal for corporate events and high-end brand activations where the email address is the primary CRM identifier.

SMS

A secure download link sent via SMS — works on any phone regardless of data availability. Guaranteed delivery where WhatsApp is not the participant's preferred channel.

RFID-Triggered

At the Audi Sport Festival of Motoring and DStv Delicious Festival, a single tap of the participant's RFID wristband triggered automatic photo delivery to their registered profile — zero typing, zero friction.

QR Sticker Printer

Used for Cadbury P.S.'s Valentine's campaign — a 5cm × 5cm QR sticker printed on-site in seconds, linking to the participant's personalised video. 2,475 stickers printed across 14 venues, zero failures.

Custom Microsite

Every photo or video is hosted on a branded, personalised microsite — accessible via link or QR code. No app download, no login required. Used for the DStv Delicious Festival roaming photographer activation.

POPIA-compliant data capture on every interaction.
Explicit consent captured, opt-in recorded, participant data stored securely and available for export to your CRM.
POPIA Compliance
