Before the show
Your avatar answers first questions from pre-registered visitors, qualifies meeting requests and plays out anticipation content for your booth concept.
Solution · Exhibitor activation BRANDmania 2026
Your brand character next to BrandBeast & Co.
BRANDmania gets its own Safe-AI app with BrandBeast as the central figure. If you exhibit at the show, we bring your brand character along — as an interactive exhibitor avatar that knows everything about your booth and guides BRANDmania visitors towards your brand. For BRANDmania 2026 exhibitors, the pilot is free of charge.
- BRANDmania visitors only
- GDPR-compliant · servers in Germany
- Existing brand characters welcome
Free pilot for BRANDmania 2026 exhibitors. Safe, GDPR-compliant, hosted in Germany.
Limited pilot slots. We start with the first sign-ups.
Why now
Two trade-show days. Five minutes at the booth. And then?
At BRANDmania, time is tight – for brands usually too tight.
Your exhibitor avatar in the BRANDmania app extends five minutes of show contact into further dialogue. It speaks with your brand voice, knows your booth concept and accompanies visitors right inside the official show app, next to BrandBeast.
Creating new experience worlds
Your brand. Your character. Your content.
Inside the BRANDmania app that extends the live experience.
During the show
Wayfinding to your booth, small-talk capability for peak hours, answers to standard questions while your team is stuck in demos. Lead opt-in included.
After the show
Reminders for open requests, follow-up material and a return funnel until the next BRANDmania. Your pipeline stays warm.
Return to BRANDmania 2027
Visitors who interacted with your avatar receive nudges 30, 90 and 365 days later. Return rate measurable.
What and how we deliver
Three building blocks. One exhibitor sprint.
We build the avatar setup, the content pipeline and the lead hand-over; you provide the brand character, approvals and content.
01
Avatar setup
You provide voice, photo and optionally moving image. We turn that into the figure. If you have an existing brand character, we integrate it. If not, we build an exhibitor avatar with you.
02
Content pipeline
You provide product information, booth plan, appointments and video material. We curate it via our RAG pipeline – your avatar only answers from your approved corpus. On request it streams your product videos directly inside the conversation: matched to the question, without visitors having to leave the app.
03
Lead hand-over and return
Opt-in-compliant lead list after the show, delivered into your CRM. Return funnel through to BRANDmania 2027 included.
We protect your brand
Not public. Not third-country. Not trained on.
Accessible only to BRANDmania visitors
Your avatar appears exclusively inside the BRANDmania app and is tied to the show season. No public web version, no search-engine indexing, no distribution beyond the defined visitor circle. If you want to switch it off after BRANDmania, your data goes into the export, the configuration into the rollback.
No US cloud, no third-country transfer
Inference and moderation run on our own GPU servers in German data centres. No OpenAI API, no Anthropic pipeline. ISO-27001-certified data-centre operator.
No IP exploitation
Brand voice, character, content and configurations remain your property. No model training by HillcrownAI or third parties. At contract end: export file and full platform rollback.
Pilot conditions
Free of charge for BRANDmania exhibitors.
We are building the BRANDmania app anyway. We are building the safety infrastructure, the moderation layer, the RAG pipeline and the return funnel. We connect your brand character to that infrastructure and get in return what we need to keep developing: solid real-world experience with brand avatars in a live trade-show context.
That's why the pilot is free of charge for BRANDmania 2026 exhibitors. No setup fee, no recurring licence for the show season.
What you bring: content, approvals, a short alignment session. What you get: a brand-compliant exhibitor avatar inside the official BRANDmania app, three weeks of extension to your trade-show presence, an opt-in-compliant lead list and a measurable comparison value for your internal marketing discussion.
Limited pilot slots. Sign-ups until 15 June 2026.
For marketing and brand teams
Four reasons to try something new now.
You test brand AI without vendor lock-in
Conversational AI for brands is no longer a future topic in 2026, it's business as usual. Most tools come from the US, with US cloud backends and no clear statement on IP exploitation or training data. The BRANDmania pilot gives your team a real benchmark against a European Safe-AI alternative — with no contractual obligation beyond the show.
You produce real conversion data, not demo clicks
BRANDmania visitors are a real target audience in a real buying moment. What your avatar learns there is more solid than any workshop mockup: which questions actually come up, which answers convert, which brand voice carries the dialogue.
You show internal impact, not slides
After the show you have a measurable story for your management team. Number of conversations, lead quality, return indicators, click-to-meeting rate. That's more tangible than any tech study and gives you the argument base for the next marketing budget.
You keep full control
Your avatar goes offline as soon as you wish. If you want to continue after BRANDmania, we discuss terms. If not, the data is exported and the configuration is rolled back. No lock-in, no follow-up subscription, no hidden costs.
How it works
Three steps to a live avatar.
- 1
Exhibitor briefing
You tell us: brand character (real, fictional or not yet defined), booth concept, content sources, target group.
- 2
Mockup within 5 working days
We deliver an exhibitor-specific avatar mockup with demo voice for you to test before committing.
- 3
Live from show start
The avatar goes live in the app 14 days before BRANDmania and stays active through follow-up.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions.
„We already have our booth staff."
+−
The avatar runs alongside, not as a replacement. It covers peak hours, pre-show questions and the post-show reminder. Your team sells, the avatar qualifies.
„Our products need explanation."
+−
That's exactly the point: we build the avatar on your approved product documentation, not on generic LLM knowledge. If the avatar doesn't know something, it says so.
„What happens to our data and our brand character?"
+−
Your content and brand character are not used for model training, not transferred to third countries and fully rolled back after contract end. Details in the platform disclosure.
„Is the avatar publicly accessible?"
+−
No. The avatar lives exclusively inside the BRANDmania app and is tied to the show. No public web version, no search-engine indexing.
„We don't have an official brand character yet."
+−
Not an obstacle. We build an exhibitor avatar together with your brand team, in your tone of voice and around your booth setup. If you have a character, we integrate it.
