We took the vending machine, stripped it down, and rebuilt it with touchscreen tech, motion sensors, social triggers, and a dose of chaos. Now drop it anywhere—bus shelters, festivals, trade shows, street corners. Boom. You’ve got a fun brand experience people actually want to interact with.
This isn’t marketing. It’s a moment. A memory. A story people tell their friends. A moment captured on social media and shared a million times.
Back in 2015, Skratch® installed tweet-to-eat vending machines inside London bus shelters on Oxford Street. Gary Lineker appeared on-screen, chilling inside the shelter. Tweet him? He’d get it. And then Walkers Do Us A Flavour campaign—crisps. Real ones. Dropped from the machine. Motion sensors, video loops, and cheeky banter made it feel like Gary was actually there, scribbling notes and posing for selfies. It was weird. It was brilliant. It worked.
We turned a bus shelter into a live-streamed gym. Personal trainer pushed commuters through workouts, and when they crushed it, the machine rewarded them with a cold bottle of Lucozade. No gym fees. Just hustle and hydration.
At Rail Live, we gamified the booth. Match product visuals, win the game, and boom—out came branded goodies like mints and keyring torches. It was interactive, addictive, and impossible to ignore.
We even converted a bus shelter into a Coca-Cola Smeg fridge. Grab a Diet Coke at one stop, then snag an Oreo cookie at the next. Because why shouldn’t your commute come with snacks?
Touchscreen Games: Tap, swipe, win. Trigger the dispenser with interactive games that make people laugh, compete, and share.
Social Media Integration: Hashtag = reward. Link your campaign to Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok and watch your audience explode.
Anywhere Activation: Bus shelters, exhibition stands, waiting areas, pop-ups—we build it where you need it. Freestanding, mobile, or embedded.
Personalisation: Want to engrave someone’s name, their dog’s name, or their favorite buzzword onto a product? We’ve got the tech. And yes, it dispenses the item right after.
What can we dispense?
Samples, snacks, drinks, merch, tech, branded gear—you name it. If it fits, we’ll make it fly out of the machine like magic.
Refills?
You drop the goods—we’ll reload your dispenser and have it locked, stocked, and ready to rock.
