Wizcraft and the Xiaomi’s events team conceptualised and executed the global premier launch of POCO F1 in India. The entire launch was carefully curated with a common thematic experience to highlight the positioning of the new brand.

Media received POCO F1 review unit in an ingenious flight case with a blue coloured electro-luminescent wire integrated into the lid of the flight case to convey liquid cooling.  The event invite included a smartly designed flipbook with the key message integrated within.

The design language for the event was inspired by the brand positioning with a consistent yellow and black colour scheme. Strategically placed arrows and light trails conveyed speed and momentum and the curved LED screen on stage was designed like a giant arrow thrusting ahead.

At the launch event, an engaging thematic walkthrough was created to showcase the liquid cooling feature of POCO F1 which gave an illusion of walking inside the smartphone and had a physical cooling effect.

A key highlight from POCO F1 experience zone was an innovative 360-degree photo booth with light painting. 15 POCO F1 mobile phones were strategically placed and integrated into the 360-degree photo booth to highlight the camera quality and the idea of speed. Light painting trails were created around the users and captured in 360 degrees. The result was a magical visual given to the users in a shareable gif format.
