Solarflare partners with Photoroom to create personalized portraits for Hennessy and Hip Hop fans

The challenge: Solarflare wanted a superior background removal web solution to power a selfie generator as part of a multi-faceted campaign for Hennessy.

Our solution: Photoroom’s Background Remover API provided a powerful, easy-to-integrate, solution for fans to instantly generate high quality engaging content.

Results: The campaign ran smoothly, engaging fans and event guests, allowing them to share their created content on social media and revel in Hip Hop’s cultural moment.

Instantly-personalized user generated content with AI

Solarflare Studio, a Creative Technology Agency, was commissioned by Laundry Service & Hennessy to develop a captivating digital and live event campaign to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop. The campaign was timed with the release of Hennessy's limited edition VS bottle. Solarflare's mission was to engage guests and fans with exclusive and unique moments, enabling them to create personalized 'rep yours' portraits inspired by their favorite Hip Hop era and location from the last five decades. The aim was to design a campaign that honored Hip Hop's rich history and deepened Hennessy's relationship with fans. The difficulty was in offering a smooth and engaging user experience that allowed participants to create personalized content transporting them to their favorite Hip Hop eras.

"Implementing Photoroom's Background Remover API was a very straightforward process, which is exactly what we look for in our tools. By seamlessly merging the capabilities of their AI-driven photo editing software into our social-first digital experience, our project is consistently producing top-notch results."  John Martinelli, Head of Production.
