Interactive Demo Zones — IFA Berlin · KBIS

Campaign-driven pop-ups, immersive demos & data-driven online conversion

IFA Berlin · AI Home Zone

Storytelling for a large-format display in a smartphone-screen concept; selected key ThinQ ON features by traffic & impact and built a "A Working Mom's Day" narrative. Ran on-site zone setup, visitor-flow design, and device troubleshooting.

LGE.com Online Campaign

Distributed a 7-episode AI Home series across YouTube and ThinQ App, compared CTR by channel, then pivoted to a ThinQ-App-exclusive campaign for loyal users; tied a purchase event to survey participation.

KBIS USA · Demo App

Led scenario planning for a trade-show demo app using ThinQ 3D HomeView — clicking an IoT device in 3D space triggered the real device, demonstrating the AI Home ecosystem to global partners.

3-week purchase volume approached LGE.com AI Home's full monthly sales.
