After much discussion, we decided to go with the theme of candy as a return to our childhood\u2019s playfulness &#8211; emphasizing how much we, as adults still love, and should make time, to play. Once the decision was set, designing, for once, wasn\u2019t much of a challenge (we later encountered the usual logistical challenges, of course).<\/span><b><br><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b>Cherish The Moment<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181115_160928.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"588\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181115_160928-1024x588.jpg\" alt=\"Persona.ly's GSTAR Booth - The Photo-op Area \" class=\"wp-image-908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181115_160928-1024x588.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181115_160928-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181115_160928-768x441.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181115_160928-800x459.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181115_160928-1200x689.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181115_160928.jpg 1393w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We wanted to give our guests a lasting memory, so we set up a photo-op with oversized candy, providing an experience with a souvenir. Once we set these pieces and a yellow brick road leading up to it, the atmosphere of the booth was set, and creating the surrounding elements was easier. <\/span><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b>A Taste of Childhood <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we thought about our childhood experiences, we remembered the goody bags we always got at the end of a party and we wanted to recreate that feeling, so we built a 3.5 meters tube filled with sweet popcorn. Not only was this tube visually stimulating, but it also left our guests with the sweet taste of nostalgia. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/uUbUdq5ASGPrDckweP\" width=\"270\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><b>Down to Business <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181115_095153.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181115_095153-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Persona.ly's GSTAR Booth - Candy Machine and Playable Ads \" class=\"wp-image-895\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181115_095153-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181115_095153-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181115_095153-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181115_095153.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We wanted our guests to relive their childhood in order to remind them that there\u2019s always time to play, so the most important part was, of course, our giant iPhone (actually, just a monitor, but don\u2019t tell!) displaying our latest playable ads, showcasing how you can truly make ads fun and engaging and acquire quality users.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b>Let&#8217;s Party<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s always important to have some fun, so we teamed up with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketgamer.biz\/\">Pocket Gamer<\/a> and hosted a party.

We found a great partner in Pocket Gamer and we managed to fulfill our vision and create an enjoyable event (at least, we hope we did, we were pretty exhausted at that point). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/8vFvlYpaRm9Z3qYY0u\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181117_132441.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"694\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181117_132441.jpg\" alt=\"Persona.ly's GSTAR Booth - The Persona.ly Team\" class=\"wp-image-897\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181117_132441.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181117_132441-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181117_132441-768x533.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-staging.cdn.persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_20181117_132441-800x555.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to everyone who attended the party and visited our booth.
