event design – Regina Ball Design

Every quarter or so, we at Phone2Action like to bring our clients and potential clients into our office to try out our new technologies and features first hand. Our June Open House was thus branded “Explore the World of Phone2Action” (a title I actually came up with!). We decided to really make it like a travel experience—guests receive a passport, a map, and at the end of the journey they can get something from our souvenir shop! This was a pretty fast turnaround, but very fun, project.

We had six product stations and two product design feedback stations, and each station had its own custom sticker that guests would receive to add to their passport after visiting the station. At our Souvenir Shop, guests could redeem their stickers for certain swag items (the more stickers you had, the higher quality items you could redeem them for). We were able to branch out a bit from our typical swag items for this event (sunglasses! umbrellas!) and it was a good testing ground to see what people wanted to take home.

Since we wanted the passport to feel like a real passport, it was sized accordingly, and the interior pages were peppered with custom graphics that showed the names of the product stations, but looked like real passport stamps (also quite proud of this part).

Overall, we had a great turnout, and the guests seemed to really enjoy the theme.

As I said at this time last year, I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve updated! I have a lot of content that I want to start sharing here, and definitely more regularly. First up: the booth I designed for Phone2Action’s presence at the Consumer Electronics Show, also known as CES, presented by the Consumer Technology Association.

For our booth this year, we had a very large space, and decided to do something a little unusual—the structure itself is actually in a shape of a lightning bolt. This provided additional space for the screens and for lounge space.

The design elements of the booth are fairly simple—colors and design elements from our brand, our vision statement, and a brief explanation that viewers could quickly grasp from afar (“digital grassroots advocacy”).

We also created a large photobooth with a custom graphic frame so that viewers could take a selfie after taking action on a campaign to support innovation.

This was the most nontraditional booth I’ve ever designed, and on the tightest timeline (design turnaround was less than five days)—and everyone was really happy with how it turned out.
