Esteem Photo Booth Rentals just wrapped a Scribble Booth activation for Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company best known for Botox Cosmetic and the Juvéderm collection of fillers, right here in the Miami and South Florida area. Across a multi-day conference with over 5,000 guests in attendance, the activation generated 26,156 total reach across platforms, with that number still climbing as guests keep sharing their videos.

What Is a Scribble Booth?

A Scribble Booth (some planners call it a Signature Cam) is a branded video experience built around a guest's own handwriting or drawing. A guest steps up to a glass panel, writes a message or signs their name, and a hidden camera behind the glass records the whole process in real time. The finished video lands on the guest's phone by text within seconds. No print to wait on, no app to download, no email that sits unopened.

The format has a real cultural anchor. Athletes have signed broadcast camera lenses after big wins for years, at Grand Slam tennis finals and on the Grammys red carpet. A Scribble Booth takes that same recognizable gesture and builds it into a branded kiosk any brand activation can use.

How Did the Allergan Aesthetics Activation Work?

The activation took place in the Miami and South Florida market, one of the busiest regions in the country for corporate photo booth work and conference activations. Allergan Aesthetics wanted a UGC tool for its conference that stayed fully brand forward, not a standard photo booth with a logo stuck on the side. Esteem Photo Booth Rentals built a custom kiosk that carried the Allergan Aesthetics identity through the entire guest experience, from the physical backdrop and overlay design to the video guests saw on their finished clip.

Across the multi-day event, guests created branded video content that landed on their phones instantly and dropped into a shared event album. That second part does as much work as the guest experience itself. Conference planners had immediate access to a constantly growing pool of fresh event content for a slideshow display that ran throughout the event, so the screens in the room never went stale and nobody on the events team had to manually pull and upload new content between sessions.


Why Do Brands Choose the Scribble Booth Over a Standard Photo Booth?

Anyone comparing options for a wedding photo booth or a party photo booth will find plenty of formats built for casual fun. The Scribble Booth solves a different problem, since it's built to move a brand message, not just entertain a room.

Guests rarely walk up to a photo booth twice at the same event. They do walk up to a Scribble Booth more than once, because writing or drawing takes creative effort, and people want to get their message right before they're happy to share it. That return engagement is hard to manufacture with a static photo op, and it's a big part of why the format produces reach numbers that outpace a standard booth of the same footprint.

It's also fast. Most guests complete the full experience in under 30 seconds, so a Scribble Booth handles high-attendance events without creating a line that slows down the rest of the room.

The prompt itself flexes to whatever a brand needs from the moment. A finance brand running a recruiting event might ask guests to write their career goal. A fashion label at a product launch might ask guests to tag their style icon. A wellness or aesthetics brand can ask guests what confidence means to them, then put that content to work reinforcing the exact message the event was built around.

Can a Scribble Booth Travel With a Multi-City Brand Tour?

Beauty and CPG brands are moving away from single fixed activations and toward mobile, multi-market tours. CeraVe ran a six-city birthday tour this year, stopping in Chicago, San Francisco, and four other markets. SheaMoisture regularly builds multi-day pop-up activations tied to major cultural moments like Toronto Caribbean Carnival. The broader trend data backs this up. Mobile roadshows are becoming the standard way beauty brands stretch one campaign across the country instead of spending an entire budget on a single city.

That only works if the activation looks and performs the same at every stop. Esteem Photo Booth Rentals is based in Miami and already runs corporate activations nationwide, including work for Formula 1, Bacardi, and a rotating multi-campus activation across AdventHealth's hospital system. Taking a Scribble Booth on a national tour means one branded kiosk design, one video overlay, one delivery flow, repeated exactly at every city on the route so a brand's identity never drifts between stops.

How Many Guests Can a Scribble Booth Handle?

Throughput scales to whatever a client needs, since staffing and kiosk count can flex up for a larger crowd. On average, a single Scribble Booth produces about 100 videos per hour, which is enough to keep a high-attendance conference or trade show moving without a line forming.

What Does a Scribble Booth Rental Include?

Every Scribble Booth rental from Esteem Photo Booth Rentals includes setup, an experienced on-site attendant, full custom branding on the kiosk and video overlay, and instant digital delivery to every guest. A fully branded Scribble Booth starts at $4,500 for a three-hour experience.

What Cities Does Esteem Photo Booth Rentals Service for Scribble Booth Activations?

Esteem Photo Booth Rentals is based in Miami and South Florida, the market where the Allergan Aesthetics activation took place, and services Scribble Booth activations nationwide, including multi-city brand tours that require identical branding at every stop.

Can the Scribble Booth Be Fully Branded?

Yes. The kiosk, backdrop, video overlay, and delivery screen can all carry a brand's logo, colors, and campaign messaging, matched to renderings approved before production begins.

Does the Scribble Booth Work Outdoors?

Yes, with the right lighting setup. Outdoor daytime events need a shaded area or a controlled backdrop so the glass surface stays clear on camera, and the team adjusts equipment ahead of time for any venue that needs it.

How Is the Video Delivered to Guests?

By text message within seconds of the guest finishing their scribble, with email available as a backup delivery option.
