overview
Brown-Forman partnered with One, Two, Smile! Photobooth to create an interactive digital photo and video activation in Los Angeles that brought together two distinct identities: Tequila Herradura and recording artist Reason TDE’s Porches album celebration.
The goal was to create more than a traditional photo booth experience. The activation needed to encourage guest participation, generate branded digital content, provide attendees with instant access to their photos and videos, and capture useful event data for the client.
Because printed photos weren’t necessary for this event, an all-digital experience provided the flexibility the campaign required. Guests could interact with the activation, create still photos and video content and receive their media digitally for immediate sharing.
Our team worked alongside the client’s creative team to develop a custom visual experience inspired by Tequila Herradura’s “Extraordinary Awaits” campaign. Bright colors, movement and tropical design elements were carried across the branded digital template and paired with a greenery backdrop and custom Herradura neon signage.
The result was a cohesive experiential activation that integrated the physical event environment with shareable digital content while keeping both Tequila Herradura and Reason TDE’s album celebration visible throughout the guest experience.
The Challenge: Showcasing Two Brands Within One Guest Experience
This event required the activation to support two different identities without allowing one to overpower the other. Tequila Herradura needed strong brand visibility while the experience also needed to feel connected to Reason TDE’s Porches album celebration.
At the same time, the client wanted an activation that could accomplish several goals simultaneously:
- Encourage guests to participate organically
- Capture both photos and video content
- Provide instant digital delivery
- Create content guests would want to share
- Maintain consistent campaign branding
- Capture attendee information that could provide additional marketing value after the event
Rather than treating the photo booth as standalone entertainment, the experience needed to become an integrated part of the overall brand activation.
The Solution: A Custom Digital Photo & Video Activation
We designed an all digital photo booth experience that combined interactive photography, video capture, branded content and instant digital sharing within one activation.
Guests were able to create both still images and video content throughout the event. Instead of waiting for printed photos, participants could receive their content digitally, making it easy to save or share their images directly from their phones.
The visual design was developed around the event’s creative direction. Our team collaborated with the client’s designers to incorporate the colors, movement and tropical aesthetic of Tequila Herradura’s “Extraordinary Awaits” campaign into the digital experience.
The surrounding environment reinforced that branding through greenery and custom Herradura neon signage, helping the physical activation and digital content feel like one coordinated experience.
The activation also created an opportunity to collect attendee information during the sharing process, giving the client useful post-event data in addition to the branded media created throughout the night.
Delivered Content and Guest Experience
The activation produced branded photo and video content featuring guests within the Herradura setting. The digital template carried the campaign’s visual direction into the delivered files while the backdrop and neon signage reinforced it in the physical space.
- Two connected identities: Tequila Herradura and Reason TDE’s Porches celebration appeared within one coordinated guest experience.
- Branded digital content: Guests created photos and videos with a custom campaign treatment.
- Digital delivery: Participants could access their media on their phones and choose whether to share it publicly.
- A reusable planning example: The case shows how a backdrop, signage and digital template can support the same creative brief.
For a similar campaign, define sessions, files, deliveries and optional marketing contacts separately in the reporting plan. Public-post reach requires its own measurement source.

Why a Digital Photo Booth Worked for This Brand Activation
An all digital photo booth was ideal for this activation because the client wanted guests to create and access content quickly without relying on physical prints.
Digital delivery allowed attendees to receive their photos and videos directly on their mobile devices, making the experience particularly well suited for social sharing.
For the brand, the activation also created opportunities beyond guest entertainment. Customized templates kept campaign branding visible across the content while the sharing process allowed attendee information to be collected for post-event marketing and analysis.
For experiential campaigns, corporate events, product launches and branded celebrations, this combination of interactive content, instant delivery and measurable engagement can turn a photo booth into a much more valuable marketing touchpoint.
