Because we wanted to display the wide range of hometowns and fields of study, our thoughts naturally drifted to creating a map of the world with locations marked by posts and tweets. For the campaign, the Walls.io map and wall are being embedded into our Welcome site, a kind of portal for new students to orient them to campus, life in Ann Arbor, and the many resources available to them. Students are directed to this site when they receive their offer of admission, to help inform their decision-making.

It was exciting for us to be able to embed our TikTok content on our social wall for our recent National Jack Summit because it meant showcasing the incredible work of our brilliant, caring, and charismatic young leaders directly to their peers, adult allies, and collaborators. Not to mention, TikTok content adds so much extra life and fun to a social wall!

By embedding the social wall on our website, we want to get in touch with our guests. Our social media channels are always also a point of contact directly with our guests. So it gives us the opportunity to present ourselves authentically and multifaceted.

We have used social media walls at in-person events in the past. It helped bring together attendees’ social engagement and created buzz around the event. In virtual events, it has been an integral interactive activation we have recommended to our clients. Given its digital channel, audiences across the globe can check in to express themselves, take part in a live social media contest and have some fun with their virtual photo booth selfie.

Walls.io helps us to really bring our social media and event-specific hashtags to life at our events. It is the perfect tool for curating and amplifying the best posts from our attendees, and a great way to encourage attendees to post more when they see their content appearing on the big screen. It might seem like a small thing, to post someone’s photo or tweet up for your whole event to see, but attendees consistently give us very positive feedback on the experience, coming up to our social team to ask for more information on this magical tool that saw their post leap out of their phone and into reality.

The wall was a distinct point of attraction for our event audiences — partners, ministries, and state officials. It was dynamic and helped our event participants engage with the proceedings of the day and what was being disseminated on our social media channels.
