Your Booth Deserves Better Than a Stack of Pamphlets

Let’s be real: most trade show booths are a snooze.
A table. A stack of pamphlets. Maybe a lonely bowl of mints if you're feeling fancy.

And attendees? They’re walking right past. Scrolling. Looking for the next actual experience.

If you're investing in a booth, you deserve better than being background noise.

So how do you flip the script?
How do you become the booth everyone is talking about?

One word: magazine.

The Photo Activation That Stops People in Their Tracks

At MDRN, we’ve executed activations for some of the biggest names in entertainment, gaming, and CPG,  and when it comes to high-traffic events, one experience consistently overdelivers:

The AI-Powered Magazine Cover Booth.

It’s bold. It’s ego-boosting. And it turns your booth into a content engine and a lead-gen machine.

Here’s how it works:
Guests step into the spotlight, pose like a celeb, and walk away featured on a custom-branded magazine cover. With built-in AI background removal, it looks like they stepped out of a Vanity Fair shoot,  complete with logo placement, cheeky article titles, and a layout designed to deliver your key brand messages without ever feeling salesy.

Bonus: We offer both digital and on-site print versions,  so whether your KPIs lean toward data capture, social shares, or premium take-home mementos, this booth flexes to match your goals.

Why It Works (AKA The Strategy Behind the Fun)

Let’s break it down:

It’s immersive, not passive.
You're not telling people about your brand, you're putting them in it. That's the difference between an attendee and an advocate.

It earns attention and data.
We can collect emails and other insights, building a warm lead funnel with something more memorable than a PDF download.

It creates content that gets shared.
The 8x10 prints? They end up in office frames, not the hotel trash. The digital covers? They're posted, tagged, and bragged about.

It solves the ROI problem.
Between real-time engagement, email capture, and post-event social buzz, this activation gives you proof, not just good vibes.

Big Impact, Flexible Format

Want to go custom? We’ve got you.

Our booth setups are fully modular and tailored to your event needs from sleek, space-conscious builds for tight trade show floors to bold brand-forward setups that feel like a mini campaign launch.

We’ll work with your team to design the experience that best fits your space, goals, and audience, without the massive overhead of a tradeshow monstrosity.

So whether you’re looking for a show-stopping built magazine booth or a sleek, AI-powered version that delivers digital magic (and metrics), we’ve got you covered.

If You’re Still Handing Out Pamphlets, It’s Time for a Rebrand

You don’t need more swag.
You don’t need more QR codes.
You need a reason for people to stop, smile, and step into your story.

And this activation delivers just that.
