Creating an Unforgettable NASCAR Activation Event Experience with Alvin Kamara
The objective was clear: we aimed to create a high-energy, post-Game Day activation that seamlessly blended NASCAR’s thrill, Alvin Kamara’s star power, and the vibrant social influence of New Orleans’ creative community.
Hosted at FIVE O FORE Golf + Entertainment, this activation invited a diverse group of guests—from athletes to influencers—to celebrate after Sunday’s game. It was a unique mix of golf, racing, and unforgettable keepsakes.
At Mirror Image Photo Booths, we set out to deliver an interactive, content-driven experience. Our goal was to merge sports culture, design, and storytelling, positioning our brand as a luxury photo experience provider and a creative content partner.
Planning the Alvin Kamara VIP Activation: A Collaborative Effort
Working closely with event producers, our team conceptualized a setup that matched the dynamic of the guest list. We wanted to highlight the excitement of the NASCAR activation event experience. Our signature Trading Card Photo Booth was designed to be customizable and interactive, allowing each guest to become the star of their own collectible trading card.
The Alvin Kamara VIP activation at FIVE O FORE Golf + Entertainment was crafted to connect sports, culture, and entertainment. It created a share-worthy moment that celebrated both football and racing energy. As content creators, we aimed to craft a photo experience that engaged guests in real time while delivering lasting, branded content for digital storytelling and post-event visibility.
Unique Features of the Activation
To make this activation unique to NASCAR x AK, we incorporated custom card personalization. Guests could:
Input their name directly on-screen, personalizing their player card in real time.
Select a “player position”—a fun hybrid of football and racing roles like Running-Back Racer, Quarterback Driver, Speed Specialist, or Pit Crew Captain.
See their custom trading card come to life instantly, blending motion, lighting, and branded design.
Behind the scenes, our team managed:
The custom card design featuring brand-aligned visuals and logo integration.
Lighting and layout optimization for high-volume flow and quality output.
Content capture planning to ensure every card became part of a cohesive event story.
Execution: Bringing the Trading Card Experience to Life
On event day, Alvin Kamara and Lavar Scott arrived with their krewe of influencers, setting the tone for a day filled with energy, creativity, and collaboration.
The Trading Card Experience quickly became the heartbeat of the activation—a perfect blend of friendly competition and digital artistry. Each guest stepped into the booth, designed their custom trading card, and watched their “stats” appear live on-screen before sharing or printing their keepsake.
Our content team captured every laugh, pose, and reaction, producing a cinematic event recap and highlight reel that extended the experience far beyond the venue.
