Corporate Swag 2.0: Using 360 Booths for Branded Video Content at Events
Remember when branded mugs and pens were the go-to corporate swag? Those days are fading fast. Today’s audiences crave experiences, not objects, and branded video content is quickly replacing keychains as the new favorite takeaway.
Enter the 360 video booth, a sleek and powerful marketing tool that transforms event moments into brand-boosting user-generated content (UGC).
If you're hosting a corporate event in Boston (or anywhere, really), a 360 booth brand activation is more than just entertainment; it's a content factory designed to generate buzz, amplify your brand, and turn guests into digital advocates.
Why Traditional Swag Doesn’t Cut It Anymore
Let’s be honest: most swag ends up forgotten in a desk drawer or tossed in a donation bin. It's not that branded gear is bad; it just doesn’t stick like it used to. In 2025, attention is digital, and people want experiences that make them feel something.
That’s why companies are pivoting from giving things away to creating moments worth sharing.
Branded videos made at events offer:
Extended reach via guest sharing on social platforms
High ROI from continuous brand visibility
Memorable experiences that drive emotional connection
In this environment, a static gift simply doesn’t compete with a slow-motion, glam-lit, custom-branded video that guests proudly post on Instagram or LinkedIn.
Branded UGC: A Powerful Tool for Marketing Teams
User-generated content (UGC) isn’t just trendy; it’s incredibly effective. According to Nielsen, 92% of consumers trust UGC more than traditional advertising. When your employees, clients, or partners post branded content from your event, they become brand ambassadors, and their reach becomes your reach.
With a 360 booth, you’re not just taking photos. You're producing:
Short-form videos perfect for TikTok, Reels, and LinkedIn
Branded motion graphics with your logo, campaign theme, or slogan
Sharable clips that naturally build FOMO and brand association
