Verizon & Boothtube Bring the Circus to Life at Best Buy Achievers 2026
The Best Buy Achievers showcase is the pinnacle of professional recognition, an exclusive event designed to reward the top 1% of performers across the country, including elite managers, sales professionals, and tech staff. This year, the all-expenses-paid reward trip took over the magnificent Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
Verizon, a key partner at the event, wanted to ensure these top-tier retail leaders had an unforgettable experience. They designed an incredible “Circus Festival” activation where attendees could play games, earn tickets, and win exceptional prizes.
To add an immersive, high-tech layer of value to this exciting carnival atmosphere, Verizon partnered with Boothtube. The goal was to capture the fun of the activation and tie it directly to the Verizon brand. We deployed our limitless AI Photo Booth, turning Best Buy’s best performers into the digital stars of their very own circus show.
The Ringmaster of the Show: The AI Photo Booth
Whenever there is a highly stylized brand activation, our AI Photo Booth fits perfectly into the narrative. The workflow was fast, fun, and completely magical. Attendees stepped up to the booth to snap a normal picture, and within seconds, our generative AI transformed them into stunning, themed portraits.

Seamless Thematic Customization
Our advanced AI capabilities allowed us to customize the visual prompts to match Verizon’s “Circus Festival” theme flawlessly. By generating specific, high-quality backgrounds that mirrored the physical activation, we made guests feel deeply immersed in the brand’s unique storyline.
-
Before-and-After Physical Prints
To provide a truly rewarding keepsake, we instantly printed both the original photo and the AI-generated artwork side-by-side. This allowed attendees to compare their real-life pose with their fantastical circus persona, giving them a fun, physical souvenir to take home from their victory trip.
-
Instant Digital Sharing
Alongside the premium physical prints, digital copies were sent instantly to the guests’ emails or phone numbers. This empowered Best Buy’s top achievers to immediately share their circus-themed portraits on social media, amplifying the excitement of the event in real-time.
