Try Walls.io social walls for free

We wanted full control; to be able to present the different happenings around the zoo, as well as guest engagement and guest content. So we did a lot of research and found Walls.io. And it’s turned out to be absolutely everything I wanted and more.

I think the big benefit is that when our participants see the wall projected, it encourages them to engage more on social media. So it’s a bit of a carrot to get them to jump on Twitter or Instagram and participate because they see the wall projected. Participants want to see their images and contributions projected for everybody else to see. So I think for me as a comms person, that’s the biggest benefit of it. And then there’s the practical side, where it’s just a great way to combine all of our activity around the event and have a visual representation of that.

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.

While hosting an internal event, it has been critically important that we ensure data privacy and that social media policies are observed and upheld by every attendee. We leveraged Direct Posts on a social media wall in the 6Connex VEP, and voilá: we were able to gather thoughts from our attendees without worrying about any concerns regarding a breach in privacy.

We were so happy to find the features Walls.io offered. It allowed us to create a virtual audience so that anyone watching could cheer on teammates and celebrate wins at home. It kept engagement up on social and also helped spread the word about our events. People were excited to see themselves on the wall!

Using Walls.io removes the complexities of aggregating posts from various social channels so we could hit the ground running with our campaign. Instead of pulling in posts from various sources, we were able to focus on the UX of our landing page and strategy for this year-long campaign. Walls.io has a robust API that we were quickly able to hook into and pull our collection of posts into a custom landing page. Walls.io also has fantastic customer/developer support between their documentation and super-responsive live chat agents.
