• Catch the Crowd

A new power in interactive ‘on-the-road’ crowd engagement!

We help brands/institutions catch the attention of the crowds by offering an interactive brand immersion experience through the innovative application of technologies like SMS and dynamic displays.

Our main focus is to provide companies/institutions interaction with the people ‘on-the-road’. ‘On-the-road’ engagement refers to interaction in locations/situations where it is not possible to interact with a large number of people directly using traditional media.

Our flagship product – CrowdMagnet – consists of a dynamic digital display which is made interactive through the use of SMS. Advertisers will be able to run simple campaigns like games, surveys and quizzes that capture the attention of the crowds and expose them to their brands.

By providing an immersive and interactive experience that the consumer chooses to take part in, CrowdMagnet enables the brand to reach the crowd in an engaging, fun and non-intrusive manner. Additionally, the advertiser is also able to obtain crucial consumer data gathered from surveys and polls.
