Project Challenge: Mid Valley needed an innovative Chinese New Year activation that would blend cultural tradition with modern technology while driving app membership sign-ups and engagement. The challenge was creating an interactive calligraphy experience that felt authentic and culturally respectful, integrated seamlessly with their app membership system, and produced tangible keepsakes that guests would value—all while maintaining brand consistency and maximizing participation across a 31-day activation period. Solution Approach: We designed a custom-built interactive kiosk featuring realistic brushstroke simulation that mimicked traditional calligraphy fluidity. Guests scanned their Mid Valley app membership QR code to begin, then selected from four traditional Chinese New Year greetings. The digital brush system captured each stroke with authentic calligraphy feel, while personalized greeting flow allowed guests to input both sender and recipient names, making each creation thoughtful and personal. Oversized prints enhanced keepsake value, and seamless back-end integration tracked app engagement metrics.

The system offers four traditional Chinese New Year greetings, each carrying cultural significance and meaning.
