How Can We Drive More Social Shares at Our Live Events?

If you’re investing in a live event, one of your biggest goals is visibility  and in 2025, that means content worth sharing.

Brands aren’t just measured by how events feel in the room — they’re judged by how many people outside the room engage with what happened. Whether you're planning a product launch, conference, or premiere, the key question remains:

“How do we get people to post about this?”

Let’s break down what actually drives social shares at live events — and how experiential activations from MDRN are designed to make it effortless.

1. Give Guests Content They Want to Share

Guests post what makes them look good. That’s why low-res selfies or generic “photo walls” often fall flat. MDRN creates immersive video and photo experiences that feel premium, cinematic, and personal.

What Works:

These aren’t just clips — they’re mini productions guests feel proud to post.

2. Match the Content Format to the Platform

We build every activation with the end platform in mind  Instagram Reels, Tik Tok, Stories, or even LinkedIn for branded B2B moments. That means:

  • Vertical-first filming

  • Instant download and airdrop options

  • Branded outro clips guests don’t want to skip

No clunky kiosks. No waiting for follow-up emails. Just instant, polished, share-ready content that keeps your brand in frame.


3. Use Onsite Prompts and Live Cues

Sometimes, guests need a little nudge.

Our Brand Ambassadors are trained to coach, hype, and guide participants through the activation  helping them feel confident and reminding them to share.

We also include:

  • Onscreen prompts with your hashtag or brand handle

  • Branded props or animations that link back to the event

  • Optional signage for contests or giveaways tied to posting

The easier and more fun you make it, the more likely they are to hit “post.”



4. Build an Experience They’ll Talk About After

Social media sharing is emotional currency. People post about things that:

  • Surprise them

  • Make them laugh

  • Let them show off

  • Make them feel “in the know”


That’s why MDRN doesn’t do one-size-fits-all booths. We design activations that are:

  • Tied to your campaign goals

  • Tailored to your brand’s tone and aesthetic

  • Built for storytelling not just snapshots

From gamified check-ins to interactive mosaic builds, everything we do is designed to help guests feel like part of the story  not just event attendees.

5. Don’t Forget the Follow-Up

Want to give your brand a second wave of content? MDRN provides a Post-Event Social Content Pack, including:

  • Behind-the-scenes images

  • Short reels you can use for wrap-up posts

  • Social-ready clips with your branding baked in

This keeps your event’s momentum going  and makes it easier for your team to repurpose content across platforms.
