Photo Booth With a Slideshow: Turning Guest Videos Into a Skyline-Size Moment
Recently we brought this event to life in a well-known Surly brewery in Minneapolis for a brand activation. Guests recorded short branded videos, won instant prizes, and then watched their clips play after dark on the towering silo wall of the venue. Seeing yourself 30 feet high is an unforgettable experience, and it kept the crowd engaged long after their turn at the booth.
Here’s why this activatin works so well for corporate events. First, it multiplies brand exposure. Each video includes your logo, campaign message, or event hashtag, so when it appears in the live slideshow the entire audience sees your brand again and again. That repetition builds recall without feeling like an ad. Second, it increases dwell time. People stay to watch their moment on the big screen, which means more time with your message and more interaction with your team.
The social aspect
It is also built for social sharing. Guests receive their clips instantly by text or email, so they can post while the slideshow runs. You get both physical presence on the wall and digital reach online, turning one activation into many impressions. If you’re tracking performance, we can include QR codes or short links on the closing frame to drive traffic to a landing page, contest entry, or product launch.
Operationally, this setup is clean and efficient. We handle capture, instant delivery, moderation, and projection so the content flows smoothly from the booth to the wall. The result feels like a live show that your audience helped create.
Why it works so well
For HR teams and internal events, this type of engaging activation celebrates your people in a big way. For marketing teams, it delivers user-generated content, measurable interactions, and a memorable brand moment that stands out from standard step-and-repeat photos. It also scales. Whether you need one screen, multiple displays, or an outdoor projection, we can tailor the experience to your goals.
If you’re planning a corporate event in Minneapolis, St. Paul, or anywhere in the Twin Cities and want an activation that guests will talk about the next day, let’s create one that puts your brand center stage. Tell us your date and objectives, and we’ll build the right capture, prizes, and projection plan to make it shine after dark.
