the Pick n Pay virtual trade show, 2020
Pick n Pay hosts an annual two-day trade show where FMCG suppliers meet its franchise owners. When Covid-19 stopped in-person events in March 2020, Magos built a virtual world to carry it online.
More than 100 branded stalls showed supplier products, videos and exclusive deals. Each franchisee had unique login details and could place orders through the franchise portal by API integration. The event was hosted by Jason Goliath, streaming live from the Magos studios in Illovo, with music, social spaces for avatars and a coin-collection game.
Spinna Winna
A gamified in-store activation for Pick n Pay supermarkets in Eswatini. After a qualifying purchase, shoppers scanned the till slip at a kiosk, entered a few details and spun a digital prize wheel.
Prizes were confirmed by SMS and redeemed in store, with a grand prize draw to keep the excitement going. Behind the simple wheel sat a secure platform for validation, prize allocation, SMS and redemption.
the Sofnfree Magic Mirror
An in-store augmented reality activation built for a haircare brand. Shoppers stepped up to the mirror, chose from a set of styles and finishes, and watched the look applied to their own reflection in real time.
The mirror then suggested the products that would help them achieve the look, took a polished snapshot and sent it straight to their phone to keep and share.
built by the dev team
Virtual worlds, kiosks and mirrors from the Magos dev reel.
questions
Answered from what Magos publishes. Anything else, ask the assistant and it will pass it to the team.
Can you build a game or promotion that runs on a kiosk?
Yes. Spinna Winna, built for Pick n Pay in Eswatini, ran on in-store kiosks with till-slip validation, SMS prize confirmation and in-store redemption.
Have you built virtual events before?
Yes. The 2020 Pick n Pay virtual trade show had more than 100 branded stalls, unique franchisee logins, ordering through the franchise portal and a live stream from the Magos studios.
Do you build AR experiences?
Yes. The Sofnfree Magic Mirror let shoppers try hair styles and finishes on their own reflection in real time.
How long does a build take?
It depends on the brief. The team scopes the work with you and confirms a timeline before anything starts.
