The audience reaction was overwhelmingly positive. Attendees enjoyed seeing their posts featured on the big screen, which created a sense of inclusion and excitement. It became a talking point during the conference, with many attendees actively seeking to have their content displayed.

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.

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.

TEDx is all about ideas and the conversations that will spark from them. The social wall helps accelerate these conversations as they’re accompanying the talks in real-time, but it also serves as an archive for audience reactions after the event.

We chose to use a social wall for this campaign to help us collect user-generated content, in addition to building brand authenticity and awareness. We researched and compared a few different platforms, and Walls.io checked off all the boxes on our list. We used the Moderation feature to ensure the submissions were relevant to the contest. Best of all? Walls.io was fully customizable, easy to use, and has great customer support.

The videos look fantastic displayed on the walls and are a great way to liven up webpages, digital signage, and group content for our social channels. With short-form video being a key priority for us, having the ability to display this effectively across numerous channels and platforms is really important. We're thrilled to be able to do this with Walls.io.
