Corporate & Brand Expertise

For corporate clients, we offer fully branded photo experiences with custom overlays, step-and-repeat backdrops, branded start screens, and data capture (email and SMS collection). We’ve delivered activations for companies like Meta, Verizon, Bank of America, and hundreds of other brands across the tri-state area.

Our Proprietary Photo Booth Software

Unlike most photo booth companies that rely on third-party software, we developed our own photo booth platform from the ground up — purpose-built for both PC and iOS. This gives us complete control over the guest experience, the output quality, and the data our clients receive after their event.

Built for Corporate & Brand Events

Our software was designed with corporate clients and brand activations in mind. Every feature is built to maximize engagement, capture data, and deliver measurable results:

• Custom-Branded Interfaces — Fully branded start screens, photo templates, and sharing screens with your logo, colors, and messaging
• Lead Capture & Data Collection — Collect guest email addresses, phone numbers, and custom survey fields directly at the booth
• Real-Time Analytics Dashboard — Track sessions, prints, shares, and guest engagement as they happen during the event
• Post-Event Reporting — Detailed breakdowns including total sessions, photos taken, sharing methods used (SMS, email, AirDrop, QR code), peak activity times, and guest demographics
• Social Media Integration — Guests can share directly to Instagram, Facebook, and other platforms with branded hashtags and overlays

Advanced Analytics & Insights

Our analytics go far beyond basic session counts. After every event, clients receive a comprehensive report covering:

• Engagement Metrics — Total sessions, average session duration, photos vs. videos vs. GIFs, and retake rates
• Sharing Analytics — Breakdown by channel (text, email, AirDrop, QR code, social media) with delivery confirmation
• Guest Data — Exportable contact lists from opt-in data capture, ready for CRM import or follow-up campaigns
• Timeline & Heatmaps — Activity over time showing peak usage windows so you can optimize booth placement and staffing at future events
• Template Performance — See which layouts and designs guests chose most, helping refine branding for future activations

Cross-Platform Flexibility

Our software runs natively on both Windows PCs and iPads, giving us the flexibility to power any booth type — from our full-size open air and mirror booths to compact roaming setups. The same platform drives our 360 video processing, green screen compositing, AI photo generation, and print workflows, ensuring a consistent, polished experience regardless of the hardware.

Based in New York, we serve the entire tri-state area with reliable delivery, setup, and on-site support:

That’s why thousands of clients trust us with their most important events, year after year.
