BRAND ACTIVATION CASE STUDY: LG’S CAMERA ARRAY

LG booked CEG Interactive’s camera array for three gaming shows through two agencies: Anaheim and IFA Berlin in 2022, then PAX West in Seattle in 2024, where it logged 5,287 guest sessions, 2,499 shares and 2,019 leads in four days.

LG needed one booth to travel between gaming shows, film clips guests post and count every lead.

2 Execution

A curved array fires every camera at once for a bullet-time clip; in Berlin each guest also left with a printed card and a QR code.

BRAND ACTIVATION TECHNOLOGY BUILT IN-HOUSE

CEG Interactive invents and builds five technologies in-house: activation software, camera rigs from 7 to 36 cameras, a 10-foot Digital Graffiti Wall, LED dance floor tiles, controllers and light show software, and the ordering stations for a dog tag station.

CEG Interactive’s Own Software

Booth platform: sends each photo or clip by text, email or QR, queued when the venue is offline.
Analytics reports: sessions, shares, leads and estimated reach, like the LG report above.
AI portrait pipeline: regenerates the whole image from a guest photo and keeps the likeness; since 2023.
Trading card renderer: a guest photo becomes a 2.5 by 3.5 inch card and a spinning digital copy; since 2024.

Camera Rigs

Light Show Programs

CEG Interactive programs each LED floor's light show with its own software. Twelve floor animations from a 2022 program set.

BRAND ACTIVATION FORMATS BY EVENT GOAL

Corporate photo booth rental from CEG Interactive runs $2,000 to $12,000 for up to 3 hours by format, with an attendant at each booth. To photograph the most guests, an open air or roaming booth runs about 60 sessions an hour from $2,000. For video, a 360 booth records slow-motion clips from $3,000. For a themed portrait, an AI booth from $2,500. For a takeaway with a logo, a dog tag station embosses 120 to 240 tags an hour per machine at $2,000 per hour. For leads, data capture adds $500 to any booth. For a room centerpiece, an LED dance floor costs $25 per square foot.

Rates are for up to 3 hours unless marked per hour or per square foot.

Goal	Format	Sessions, footprint	Rate	Tradeoff
Most guests photographed	Roaming booth	About 60 None fixed	$2,000	No backdrop; a print station adds $1,000
Video for the brand’s feed	360 booth, Medium or XL	About 60 8 × 8 or 10 × 10 ft	$3,000 or $4,000	Video only; add a second booth for prints
A themed portrait	AI Booth	About 60 8 × 8 ft	From $2,500	Prints add $1,000; the generative tier is $5,000

Leads and survey answers	Data capture, on any booth	The booth’s own pace None added	Add $500 per booth	An upgrade; QR pre-registration doubles the pace for $1,000
A room centerpiece	LED dance floor	No queue From 10 × 10 ft	$25 per sq ft	$5,000 order minimum; a 12 × 12 is $3,600

An LED dance floor order carries a $5,000 order minimum; a 12 by 12 foot floor at $3,600 reaches it by adding a booth.

How many photo booths does an event need? One booth covers most events under about 200 guests, two cover about 500 and three cover about 1,000; CEG Interactive plans one booth for about every 60 guest sessions in the busiest hour, counting 80% of guests for a main attraction, 60% for one of several activations and 40% for a side amenity.

Brand Activation Questions from Event Planners

What makes a photo booth interactive?

A photo booth is interactive when the guest helps make the image: picking an AI look, stepping onto a 360 platform or painting on a touchscreen wall.

Can a booth capture leads and guest data?

Yes. Data capture and survey questions are a $500 upgrade per booth; the client exports the contact list and gets the analytics report.

Does CEG Interactive travel outside San Diego?

Yes. Most services in most metro areas are available at little or no travel or delivery cost.

How far ahead should an activation be booked?

Four to six weeks ahead for standard formats; custom branding adds 7 to 10 business days.

Is CEG Interactive insured, and can it issue a certificate for the venue?

Yes. $2M/$4M general liability, workers’ compensation and commercial auto; certificates of insurance with additional-insured endorsements are routine.

Booths for 1,000 guests

1. Guests and event hours

Guests

Everyone expected, not only booth users.

Booth hours

Standard booking: up to 3 hours.

1,000 guests over 3 hours of booth time, spread unevenly: the peak tab sets the busiest hour.

2. Share of guests who use it

Role at the event

CEG planning assumption for each role.

Guests who use it

600 of 1,000 guests use it at least once. The 80, 60 and 40% presets are CEG planning assumptions.

3. Booth type and speed

Speed per station

QR pre-registration

A $1,000 upgrade on digital booths.

Guests per session

CEG average 2.0; dog tags 1 per guest.

Each booth runs about 60 sessions an hour, with 2 guests in an average session.

4. Peak rush and line wait

Peak level

CEG planning assumption, busiest hour vs average.

Peak factor

Busiest hour as a multiple of the average.

Rush length

How long the peak lasts; drives the wait.

At a 1.5x peak, demand reaches 150 sessions an hour for about 1 hour. With 2 booths, the line grows to about 15 minutes by the end of the rush; 3 booths keep pace.

How the math works, with sources

With the defaults, 1,000 guests at a 3-hour event, 60% of them using a photo booth, make about 300 sessions of 2 guests each, or 100 an hour on average and 150 an hour at a 1.5x peak. One booth handles about 60 an hour, so the event needs 3 booths. With 2 booths, the line reaches about 15 minutes by the end of a 1-hour rush.

Guests using it = guests x share who use it (80% main attraction, 60% one of several, 40% side amenity)
Sessions        = guests using it / guests per session (2.0 at a photo booth; 1 per dog tag)
Average demand  = sessions / booth hours
Peak demand     = average demand x peak factor (1.2 steady, 1.5 typical rush, 1.8 sharp rush)
Speed           = 60 sessions an hour per booth (120 tags per dog tag machine), x 2 with QR pre-registration
Booths          = peak demand / speed, rounded up, at least 1
Peak load       = peak demand / (booths x speed)
Line wait       = 60 x (peak demand - booths x speed) x rush length / (booths x speed), in minutes
 
Fixed assumptions: guests arrive evenly within the rush and the line only grows while demand beats the booths' speed; the wait shown is the longest, at the end of the rush; QR pre-registration applies to photo booths, since dog tag orders already start from a QR code.

Booth speed, guests per session and the QR gain are CEG figures; the turnout presets, the peak factor and the rush length are CEG planning assumptions, and a real line bunches up, so short waits still happen below 100% peak load. The guests slider runs from 100 to 10,000 on a log scale; every other slider runs from a third of its default to three times it. The notch marks the default; type any value in a box to go past either end.

Where the defaults come from
