SMS competitions
Make an announcement to the crowd, post a question on the big screen or pass out a puzzle as the crowd arrives – then collect the responses for an instant competition.
Intelligent automated interactions
Detect keywords and react accordingly with context-specific responses. Back and forth responses are unlimited and can be ‘conversational’.
Select a winner
Staff can manually text or email keywords to trigger an action (e.g. select the next entrant as the winner).
Audi hot laps example
Sports fans at the stadium were asked to watch a digital Audi car make laps around the stadium’s ad boards, then text in their guess at the speed the car was going.
The instant the first correct guess came through, the winners details and guess were sent to the announcer and client.
Over 7,000 SMS sent within minutes with the winner processed within 10 seconds
