What to do

First of all, navigate to the Wayin Experience Library, click on the Social Displays tab in the navigation and select a Hashtag Wall, Event Hashtag or Social Voting experience, which will open a brief overview of the campaign type. If you are happy with your selection, add the experience experience to your account if you are using it for the first time, or simply click on Create if you have previously build this type of a Social Display.

The wizard will take you through the experience creation process:

1. First of all, name your experience and click next.
2. After that, choose a theme. You will be able to select one of the system themes (Card, Square, Flex or Scaffold) or one of your branded themes if your account has one configured. This determined the base styling of your campaign.
3. In the next step, you will be able to add pages you think you may need, again these can  be added later as required, for most the default social page will be sufficient.
4. On the launch timing screen, you can choose to schedule the launch timing here. Schedule a launch date and time if you’re aware of this during setup, or simply click Choose later.
5. At the end of the wizard, you will be presented with an overview of the campaign setup so far. If you’re happy, click Create to finalise your settings and create the campaign.
