A link to the case study video is included later in this press release.

For this case study, the client was Fadó Irish Pub & Restaurant, a national group of Irish pubs with 14 locations across the United States. Catch the Moment was hired by Fadó to provide all the back-end event technology and all the specially-trained photographers necessary to execute face-to-face engagement marketing at a series of simultaneous events across the United States on critical promotional occasions such as Oktoberfest, New Year's Eve, and St. Patrick's Day. Using a service called PhotoStream, custom-branded Fadó photos were uploaded to each respective pub's Facebook page immediately, and with a service called InstaShare, patrons then received their custom-branded photo in an email complete with social media sharing options. In explaining the value of these experiential marketing services, John Piccirillo, Director of Marketing and Development for Fado notes "it's novel…people actually pay attention to it…in a very crowded media environment, people actually connect with this service in an emotional way."

The photo retrieval and sharing percentages exploded client expectations, meeting all stated objectives for customer engagement, lead generation, and social media marketing.

"A picture is worth a thousand words, and thousands more impressions in social media," says Mike Kramer, Catch the Moment's National Marketing Director. "Experiential photo activation is not only a cost-effective means of engaging consumers, it's the easiest entry point and the most tried and true method for igniting social media."

Combining in-action footage with social media screenshots, the narration follows the program from its conceptual stages, through the development of a custom engagement solution, to its execution and results.
