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!
We were seeking an affordable solution to social content aggregation because our marketing budget for the exhibition is limited. After a demo of Walls.io, it seemed to offer the flexibility and branding capability to help us achieve our goals.
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.
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.
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!
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.
