To make interaction tangible, to activate participants and to actively involve each individual in actions. For the ultimate we-feeling of our time on all participating screens.
CEO Ronny Buck says:
Hi, I'm Ronny Buck and the founder of click together. Our mission has always been to bring people together via virtual channels - and to make them happy with interactive photo campaigns. Our strongest learning so far? That emotions are the most important messengers of all. Especially in our digital age.
In the beginning nobody would have thought that we would be able to keep our mission alive. Much spoke against it. But read for yourself how everything turned out to be good!
The beginnings were shaped by photography
It all started in the early 2000s. At that time, I was just finishing my training as an advertising photographer and kept digging into the subject of photography. I was a full-time photographer and business was good.
But as a free spirit with entrepreneurship in my blood, I already knew then that there was more to it than bland photography. Somehow there was a lack of pep. At the same time, technical possibilities became more and more diverse. So where was the limit?
And it made a "click"
I remembered a photo innovation that I got to know on a trip through the USA: the “Photo Booth”. I was fascinated by the principle of sitting in a machine, pressing the self-timer and then taking photo prints with you as a printout.
So I got down to work and founded my first company "click it". The core of our service was based on the technology of American photo booths and brought specially developed mobile photo boxes to events all over Germany.
Higher, faster, serene!
click it turned out to be a crowd favorite and the company grew rapidly. Salespeople, technicians, marketers, graphic artists, developers and project managers were hired. A production hall was rented, the company's own fleet of vehicles was set up and soon click it was operating with a team of around 20 people.
The result was an impressive range of cross-media opportunities to use the photo box for relevant marketing, event and trade fair campaigns. Whether personalized branding, green screen technology, augmented reality formats, social media interfaces or give-away print directly at the POS - click it was considered a smart event expert who knows and achieves its customers' goals. Business was booming.
But then came: Corona.
All events were canceled overnight. Contact restrictions and lockdown regulations put the entire event industry on hold. There was no prospect of a continuation and so the company was shut down.
Should that be it now? Was it that with the click it brand and an offer that was able to inspire so many people? Does click it have to close and ultimately throw everything away?
No, we didn't want to accept that and I thought about how smart photo campaigns could bring people together and set emotions free in the future. After all, community feelings counted more now than ever.
From click it to click together
An idea came up: The digital photo mosaic had been with us for a long time in click it photo campaigns and we knew that it was able to bring people together across all borders.
We knew its strong potential to activate participants, release emotions and ultimately make strong messages tangible. And we believed that during the pandemic it could become the perfect choice for businesses, brands, and personal occasions to create community.
And so nothing was more obvious than to make the photo mosaic something bigger: click together!
A new way of thinking for a new beginning
In the midst of one of the most challenging times in our society, when keeping your distance had become the most important rule, we rethought. We have thrown our know-how, our skills and our creativity into the balance and made click together to answer all questions.
And now the digital photo mosaic is able to bring us closer together again, to celebrate the togetherness and to bring a unique sense of togetherness directly onto the screens. How great is that?
Maybe there will be no more events as we know them. Perhaps the digital path will not only become a consolation, but the standard of coming together. Perhaps the click it photo box will never again celebrate the successes it had back then.
But we can say one thing with certainty: New, innovative possibilities have the power to carry us over. And precisely at the moment when everyone participates and becomes the ultimate, virtual community across borders. For example, as part of a rousing photo campaign. That's why there is click together.
