Case Study Summary
A standard photo booth request turned into a fully branded photo zone
John Cain Arena originally requested a photo booth for the Jimmy Carr show. Instead of supplying a basic booth setup, Pixel Booth proposed a complete branded photo zone that would feel more premium, more intentional and more connected to the event environment.
The final setup included a custom 3D backdrop wall with Jimmy Carr branding, a fully wrapped photo booth, branded floor wrap, custom photo strip artwork and a microsite gallery where guests could download their photos through a QR code scan from the booth screen.
Across the 3-day activation, the booth captured 1,739 photos, giving guests a fun branded memory while also creating a strong visual feature inside the arena.
The Brief
Elevate the booth into a premium event photo moment
The goal was to create a branded photo booth experience that suited the scale of John Cain Arena and the energy of the Jimmy Carr show. A standard stretch fabric backdrop would have worked functionally, but it would not have delivered the same premium visual impact.
Pixel Booth recommended a full photo zone approach: a 3D branded backdrop wall for depth and presence, a branded floor wrap to define the space, a full booth wrap for a complete brand takeover, and custom printed photo strips to carry the Jimmy Carr branding into the guest takeaway.
Arena-ready setup
The activation needed to look polished and suitable for a high-traffic entertainment venue.
Branded guest takeaway
The print template and online gallery needed to carry the Jimmy Carr branding beyond the booth moment.
More value than a booth
The setup was designed as a branded environment, not just a photo booth placed in a corner.
