How Custom Filters Instantly Turn Event Photos Into On-Brand Stories
At a pop-up experience in Milan, a beauty brand launched a limited-edition collection inspired by soft sunset hues and golden tones. As guests explored the event, their photos — captured in real time — were automatically delivered with a warm, glowing overlay that matched the packaging and campaign visuals perfectly.
The result? A flood of gorgeous, cohesive user-generated content across Instagram and TikTok, all instantly recognizable and undeniably on-brand.
That’s the power of Impulse’s Custom Filters — automatic, fully branded photo overlays that bring your event to life in every frame.
Why It Matters
In today’s social-first world, aesthetic consistency equals brand memorability. When your event photos look like they belong to your campaign, people notice. They linger. They engage.
Here’s why custom filters are essential:
Strengthen brand identity through visual storytelling
Encourage sharing by making every guest feel like part of a campaign
Create a cohesive look and feel across thousands of guest photos
Drive higher reach and impressions with Instagram-friendly visuals
Ensure content looks professional, even in unplanned or low-light settings
According to WebDAM, consistent branding can increase revenue by up to 23%. And visual content is more than 40x more likely to be shared than other types of content, per Buffer.
A custom filter isn't just a visual touch — it's a branding tool.
