Because our target audience is highly social and likely to be on multiple social media platforms, we thought that a social wall really suited our needs. So we launched the hashtag #MaritimeWomenPhotoShare and to participate, participants could either use the hashtag on Twitter or Instagram or simply submit their photos using an email address we created for that purpose. And with the wall, it created this mosaic of working maritime women which was really empowering and inspiring, and more and more women joined.

Working with big companies means that we are not always able to use social networks during an event, having the possibility to use Walls.io’s Direct Post feature helped us use the social wall without being bound by social networks!

To us, the benefits of Walls.io are obvious — it’s an instantly recognisable plug-in that’s easy to implement and brings a website to life. It’s also really easy for us and our clients to monitor and moderate.

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!

We looked for a platform that could gather all of our social media in one place and expected to find something that we could probably plug into a website. When we found Walls.io, we were impressed by the whole solution. It was dramatically cheaper than doing an own-build solution with an agency, and it was considerably more flexible. The whole procurement process happened in 15 minutes before a telephone call, where we just started to search for these sorts of solutions. Walls.io stood out as a leader. And the reason it’s so good is its flexibility.

It was a big wall, probably 12 feet tall. I should have had somebody stand next to it for the photo! And it was pretty cool. We set it up right by the registration area. We also had a booth there where participants could redeem the tickets they received for participating in sessions and exchange them for t-shirts, coffee mugs, etc. So it was a place where we got lots of traffic, and people would walk by and see the wall. And then, of course, that would encourage them to post more pictures.
