Try Walls.io social walls for free

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.

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.

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 used the social wall on our recurring virtual conference to increase attendee engagement, both inside and outside the event platform. It encouraged our attendees to post on social media, which is a great way to show social proof and encourage more people to register. The cherry on the cake was the integration with our long-time partner SnapBar, a virtual photo booth provider. It made our event feel more human and reminded our audience that there’s a real person behind each profile. Walls.io is a great tool for creating a sense of community and belonging!

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.

Ingolstadt’s social media newsroom allows visitors to find out about all our social media activities at a glance and daily. Additionally, they don’t have to log in on each social media platform or even have an account there, which poses a huge advantage for everyone. The response has been positive throughout.
