Creative ways to use Experience Content
Memory Preservation: Transform participant photos into professionally designed photo books that serve as keepsakes for attendees or thoughtful gifts for speakers and sponsors. These tangible mementos capture the energy and excitement of your Experience while providing lasting value for key stakeholders.
Social Media Amplification: Launch social media campaigns using authentic participant photos to recap your event's highlights. This user-generated content keeps conversations alive, engages those who couldn't attend, and builds anticipation for future events through genuine participant experiences.
Personalized Appreciation: Create personalized thank you cards featuring photos that include specific attendees, sponsors, or speakers. This thoughtful gesture strengthens relationships while showcasing the personal connections and memorable moments your Experience facilitated.
Digital Showcases: Build online photo galleries or virtual event tours that can be shared with participants and used to promote future events. These digital archives serve as powerful marketing tools that demonstrate your event's impact and community engagement.
Engage your Community with your Experience Content
Event Documentation: Develop interactive timelines featuring photos and captions that highlight key moments throughout your Experience. Host these engaging narratives on your organization's website to showcase event success and provide compelling content for future marketing efforts.
Community Engagement: Host photo contests encouraging participants to submit their best shots from your event. Create categories like 'Most Creative Mission,' 'Best Team Spirit,' or 'Funniest Moment' with prizes that maintain engagement long after your Experience ends.
Annual Narratives: Feature event photos in year-in-review content, newsletters, or blog posts. This approach highlights your Experience's success while building excitement and anticipation for upcoming events
Level up your Marketing and Promotional Materials
Branded Merchandise: Transform standout photos (or inside jokes from the Experience) into promotional merchandise like calendars, t-shirts, or posters. These items can be sold to generate revenue or given away as marketing materials that keep your brand and event top-of-mind.
Media Relations: Enhance press releases with compelling participant photos to increase media pickup rates. Visual content makes your event stories more engaging and shareable across various media platforms.
Video Content: Create dynamic video montages set to music that capture your event's energy and excitement. Share these across social media, websites, and at follow-up events to maintain momentum and build community around your Experience.
Future Event Promotion: Use authentic participant content to demonstrate the value and enjoyment of your Experiences when promoting future events. Real participant photos and testimonials provide powerful social proof that drives registration and engagement.
How to organize the content from your Experience

Content Organization: Organize downloads by mission, team, or submission type to streamline your post-event content workflow. This structured approach makes it easier to identify the best content for different marketing and commemorative purposes.
Long-term Storage Strategy: While Experiences and content remain on your account indefinitely (unless deleted), we recommend downloading submissions and Stats reports when your Experience ends. This ensures you have permanent access to valuable content, even if participants later leave the Experience and remove their submissions.
