Pixe Shortlisted for Three Event Technology Awards

We are excited to announce that Pixe has been shortlisted in three categories for the Event Technology Awards:

• Best Technology for Marketing an Event / Building Event Attendance
• Best Use of Social Media
• Best Use of Technology For Audience Participation

The above listed nominations recognize Pixe’s successful partnership with MCM London Comic Con.
At the 2013 October show, the 920 photos posted by attendees from the MCM Pixe Social solution reached a total of 1.8 million fans and created 4.4 million Impressions on Facebook.

Started in March 2013, the Event Technology Awards (ETA) hosts event industry professionals in London to recognize the technology contributions made to the meetings and events industry. The inaugural 2013 awards attracted brands including Adidas, EE, Ticketmaster and Vodafone. The award ceremony will be held in conjunction with Event Tech Live, Europe’s only event dedicated to event technology that is open to the public. The 2014 awards will take place 13 November 2014 in London, UK.

Impressive Online Engagement for CeX Pixe Photo Booth

While hosting the 2013 MCM London Comic Con Pixe Photo Booth, the Pixe team met representatives of CeX , the popular chain of stores for an expansive range of technology and entertainment products. Recognizing Pixe’s unique ability to reach out to event attendees by providing a fun, social experience, CeX contracted Pixe to provide a mobile-photo booth to its long-term customers and fans at the 2014 MCM London Comic Con.

CeX turned out to be an exciting and great brand to work with. The Cex team fully embraced the concept of real-time social selfies by placing an enormous Cex-branded octopus throne at their booth entrance, and giving away CeX cash vouchers as prizes in crowd-drawing contests.  Alongside Pixe’s social media promotion of the contest, CeX lit up the social media scene by live-tweeting photo booth pictures and reminding visitors of the contest over three days at the event. We were impressed by how responsive CeX was to their online fans. There were threads of conversations about booth location, popular photos, and contest announcements both on Twitter and Facebook.

This inspiring effort from CeX to provide a memorable experience to their customers was amply reflected in the impressive post-event ROI report generated by Pixe. In fact, the CeX ROI report blew us away! Not only did the individual Pixe photo booth photos bring thousands of online fans to the CeX Facebook Page, but CeX also boosted their online presence through constant and attentive interaction with fans.

• Captured 839 photos
• Reached 910,291 Facebook fans
• Generated 1,230,179 online impressions

MCM and Pixe Social: The Social Sharing Dream Team

In the fall of 2013, MCM Comic Con partnered with Pixe Social for the first time to engage and entertain their attendees at their popular events in the UK.

The MCM Comic Con team, organizers of the largest and most popular Comic Con pop culture events across seven cities in the UK, identified Pixe as a potential social marketing partner at New York Comic Con 2013, where the Pixe-powered Photo Booth captured more than 3,800 photos and reached more than 300K people on Facebook.

Impressed by the extensive viral reach delivered by Pixe, MCM decided to make the most of Pixe’s free trial offer promoted to attendees at the NYCC show, and invited the Pixe team to partner as the official London Comic Con 2013 Photo Booth. At this event, attendees shared over 900 photos on the MCM London Facebook Page, live from the show floor. These posts from the Pixe-powered photo booth resulted in tremendous online activity, with 16,919 stories created on Facebook engaging 182,975 people, who viewed the photos a total of 4,430,325 times!

Recognizing that Pixe Social is much more than a photo booth solution, MCM decided to leverage the Pixe Social at all their events in 2013 and 2014. The MCM Comic Con attendees use Pixe Social to keep share their special time and some pretty awesome cosplay with friends and family online, as well as with a huge pool of Comic Con fans on leading social media pages. Attendees love to record a range of emotional and personal experiences in the carefree environment at the MCM Pixe photo booths. In a special moment for both MCM and Pixe, a marriage proposal was captured and shared at the MCM London Comic con. We are honored to be selected as a channel for our users to share the biggest and the most exciting moments of their lives.

Since that first event in London, Pixe has provided a forum for MCM Comic Con fans to share their thoughts and feedback at many subsequent events, spread across different cities in the UK, including Midlands, Birmingham, and Dublin. While the post-show contest for the most recent event, MCM Ireland, is just concluding, the solution has reached over 51,000 people with continued post-show social activity on Facebook.

The Pixe team looks forward to continued engagement and fun at the upcoming 2014 MCM Comic Con shows.
