We make creative ideas work in the real world.

The gap between a great concept and a great activation is execution. Magic Photo closes it. We take the idea on the mood board and run it live on the event floor, with the technology, the logistics and the delivery already solved.

You bring the vision. We make it land.

Real guests.
Real results.

Creative Directions

Four directions.
Many more to explore.

A taste of the range. Pick a feel. We shape the rest around it. Every direction is customisable to your campaign.

Light on the ground.
Loud in group chats.

01

Capture

Guest photo captured on iPad by a roaming promoter who keeps the activation moving with the room.

02

Transform

AI turns it into a portrait that matches the brief, the palette, and the brand.

03

Deliver

Delivered instantly via WhatsApp while the event still has momentum and the guest is ready to send it on.

04

Share

Shared across social and private networks, where the content travels further because it belongs to the guest.

No booths. No queues. No friction.

Proven at launches, festivals, sponsor zones, match-day hospitality, and corporate activations.

Thirty seconds later,
it's in their chat.

The portrait lands while the event is still running. The guest is still feeling the moment, still standing with the people they arrived with, still holding their own phone.

No app to download. No login. No waiting until tomorrow. It arrives from their own number, ready to share.

Made for South Africa

Content that feels local.
Reach that goes everywhere.

Table Mountain at dusk. The Joburg skyline at golden hour. Kruger bushveld. Kasi murals. Braai smoke and jacaranda trees. These are not just pretty backplates. They are cues people in South Africa recognise instantly, which is why the portrait feels personal instead of imported.

A Sandton finance launch needs a different mood from a Cape Town fashion event or a Durban hospitality brief. When the visual language feels native to the room, the agency does not have to work so hard to convince people to care.

Local context doesn't cost more. It just gets shared more.

Privacy, written for real client review.

Magic Photo works with faces and phone numbers, so the privacy policy has its own page and answers the practical questions clients actually ask: what we collect, how WhatsApp delivery works, how long we keep data, which providers are involved, and what rights guests have under POPIA.

Clear collection

Guest photo, generated portrait, phone number, optional first name, and limited delivery metadata.

Defined retention

Photos held for up to 30 days, phone numbers removed after delivery or within 30 days, and non-identifying operational records kept longer only where needed.

Plain-English rights

Access, correction, deletion, withdrawal of consent, and regulator contact details are all set out clearly on the policy page.

Let's build something your guests will actually share.

Bring the brief. We'll make it work.

A rough concept is enough for us to sense-check fit, shape the visual direction, and make sure the execution works on the ground.
