Built for the brief. Measured for the recap.
A brand activation photo booth is a fully branded photo and video experience built into a marketing event: a product launch, a pop-up, a festival sponsorship, a trade show floor, a live experience. The booth, the screens, the prints, and the share flow all carry the campaign. Guests leave with branded content on their phones, every session can capture an opt-in contact, and the analytics dashboard afterward shows what the activation earned.
We produce photo booth activations for experiential marketing agencies, DMCs, production companies, and in-house brand teams across Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego, with a white-label process built for agencies and a report your client can take into the room.

Branded on every surface. Measured on every session.
Six things an agency or brand team gets from a Cheers To You activation, from the wrap on the floor to the file in the recap.
Your brand on every surface
A fully wrapped booth, a branded backdrop, and set dressing designed to your guidelines turn the booth into the destination on the floor: the piece everyone photographs and the photo everyone posts. Built to your template or designed by us, QA'd before production.
Screens, prints, and takeaways in the campaign
Touchscreen, overlays, share screen, and every print designed in the campaign's palette and type, routed through your approvals before load-in. Strips, 4×6s, stickers, and custom trading cards: takeaways that pull the line and leave with your logo in every hand.
Content guests post that night
Photo, GIF, or video lands on each guest's phone in seconds, sized for the feed and branded in every frame. Every share carries the campaign past the room, and the full branded gallery is delivered to you to repurpose across your own channels.
A list you own
Guests enter an email or phone number to receive their photo, with custom survey fields when the campaign calls for them. Every opt-in contact is exported as a clean, CRM-ready file after the event. It belongs to you or your client, and it stays yours.
A number for the recap
After the activation you get a link to its analytics dashboard: sessions, shares by channel, reach and impressions with charts, the gallery, and every contact, all downloadable. A result your client can take into the room, in the same week.
Paperwork and people, handled
W-9, a certificate of insurance naming your client or the venue, program and PO numbers on every document, white-label delivery when the program calls for it, and the booth attended from load-in to teardown. One contact, one contract.

Brand activation photo booth questions.
What is a brand activation photo booth?
A photo or video experience designed around a marketing outcome. The booth, screens, prints, and share flow all carry the campaign, guests leave with branded content on their phones, and each session can capture an opt-in contact. The result is engagement on the floor and reach after it, reported in an analytics dashboard. Our guide to brand activation photo booths covers formats, measurement, and how an activation runs.
Do you work with experiential marketing agencies, DMCs, and production companies?
Yes. Most of our activation work comes through them. We're set up for vendor onboarding: W-9, a certificate of insurance naming your client, program and PO numbers on every proposal and invoice, and white-label delivery when the program calls for it. The details live on our agency partners page.
Can the booth be fully wrapped in our brand?
Yes. The entire exterior, plus backdrop and set dressing, is designed to your guidelines. Your design team can build to our template or we design it; either way we QA the files before production. Allow about two weeks from approved artwork for wrap production and install. Shorter timelines are often workable, so send your date.
What data does the activation capture, and who owns it?
Email or SMS opt-in on every share, and custom survey fields when the campaign needs them, exported as a clean file after the event. The data belongs to you or your client. We deliver it after the event and it stays yours.
What's in the post-event report?
A link to your activation's analytics dashboard: sessions, shares by channel, reach and impressions with charts, the full branded gallery, and every opt-in contact, all downloadable, so it drops straight into your client recap. The figures on this page come from those dashboards.
Can you run the activation white-label?
Yes. The booth, the share flow, and the attendant carry your agency's or your client's identity, with Cheers To You branding appearing only where you want it.
Do you produce brand activations in San Diego as well as Los Angeles and Orange County?
Yes. We're based in Irvine and produce across Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego, with Southern California travel beyond; the Sexy Hair program above was produced with a San Diego DMC in Palm Desert. Multi-day and multi-city programs are quoted as one proposal, with travel and logistics built in. In Los Angeles: Hollywood & Downtown LA, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Malibu and Long Beach.
How far ahead should we book?
Fully wrapped activations want about two weeks from approved artwork. Custom screens and prints move faster, and we have delivered a branded trading card activation on six days' notice. Send the date and we'll tell you what fits.
How much does a brand activation photo booth cost?
Pricing follows the scope: format, hours, wrap and design, data capture, and location. Send the brief through Get Pricing and we'll come back with a scoped proposal, usually within a business day.
Briefing an activation?
Send what you have, a confirmed brief or an early pitch, and we'll come back with the format, the scope, and a clear read on budget.
