Wendy’s aimed to celebrate its top General Managers with a personal, energetic experience that reflected its culture of excellence. The Top GM event at Hilton Columbus united leaders nationwide to honor achievements and inspire growth. We designed a photo activation that captured excitement, connection, and pride while giving every guest a shareable memory to take home. Every detail emphasized teamwork, recognition, and the spirit of success that defines Wendy’s legacy.
Challenges
- Designing an engaging experience that felt authentic to Wendy’s brand of warmth, leadership, and fun.
- Managing high guest volume while maintaining consistent photo quality and fast turnaround.
- Encouraging real-time sharing to extend the event’s excitement beyond the venue.
- Blending professional photography with interactive technology to keep guests entertained and involved.
Customization
To create a cohesive visual identity, we fully wrapped the Photo Spot Pro and customized digital and print templates with Wendy’s Top GM branding. The mosaic wall reinforced the signature red-and-white brand colors, while the photo strip layout mirrored the celebratory theme of recognition and pride. Every detail, from the layout to the social overlays, reflected Wendy’s leadership-driven energy.
Our Approach
To deliver an activation aligned with Wendy’s event vision, we crafted a strategy focused on creativity, efficiency, and seamless execution. Our plan combined purposeful design, brand consistency, and interactive technology to ensure every element contributed to a memorable celebration.

- Integrated fast printing so guests could leave with physical keepsakes while also sharing digital copies instantly.
Engagement & Shareability

- Guests printed their photos as stickers and placed them on the mosaic wall, gradually revealing the Wendy’s “Top GM” logo tile by tile, symbolizing teamwork and shared success.
- Instant photo sharing through SMS and email kept the energy alive, sparking genuine excitement and encouraging guests to post and tag their moments in real time.
