Project Brief
Streaka is a powerful marketing solution that utilises iPad technology enabling your customers to automatically produce and distribute advertising for your business.
Using your fully branded touchscreen your customers produce video messages which are automatically embedded with your branding and advertising content and then distributed to their friends and family for free.
Your advertising is delivered directly to your target markets.
Streaka automates the production of content for your social media strategies and facilitates word of mouth marketing about your business.
Once the recipient opens the branded email, they can view the video and then have the option to share it via social media channels. The video itself can contain top and tail ads, as well as a watermark, and the portal page contains branding and optional advertisement links.
It's important that when someone receives a Streaka video email it works regardless of where they are. To ensure they still get the branded experience on their mobile phone, the customizable profile page is built with a HTML5 responsive design to look great on iPhones, Android phones, iPads and Desktop browsers.

User Experience
How it works:
http://youtu.be/eouHWuZoMmE
A user sees the Streaka iPad either in a Branded Kiosk or being held by a promoter who encourages them to step up and record a video. The user can see their own Face while the video is recorded and is prompted with a countdown before the recording begins.
Afterwards they are given the option to approve the video and optionally email it to someone (or cancel to re-record).
The whole process has been designed to operate in Kiosk mode without any supervision and so it was imperative that it was super simple to use.
To achieve this, the interface has a single record button and once the video is complete or cancelled the app returns to the home screen of the app. The home screen contains a customizable wallpaper which can be used to either inform the user what to do, or provide additional advertising.
The recipient of the email is provided with a short branded email which explains what the email is about and a link to view the video on the branded portal page.
We felt it was important the recipient could watch the video and still get the branded experience on any device, so the page was built with a HTML5 and responsive design so that it works on Desktops, iPads, iPhones and Android devices in either landscape or portrait mode.
Project Marketing
By working with local companies, large corporate brands, and individuals Streaka are getting their name known.
This has allowed Streaka to fit the needs of its clients who have used the Platform for events like the 2012 FxPro Super Rugby games, Carlton Draught Gold Coast Turf Club Tradies Raceday, Jupiters Casino's Glisten Celebrity Pool Party and Southern Cross Austereo industry night, and many more.
Some of Streaka's kiosks are set-up in established venues and they tend to market themselves to the end user. When a potential user sees an iPad freely available in a venue or club, there's an interest incentive for them to take a look and record a quick video, send it to themselves or to a friend. It's quick, easy and free for them to do so.
