AIVA for All In Place at Accountex

All In Place · Accountex · London

AIVA for All In Place at Accountex

An AI accountant who rewards human-first advice with a free drink — and helped All In Place quadruple their Accountex leads.

We wanted our stand at Accountex to really stand out, and Arcade Strange delivered exactly what we were after. AiVA gave visitors something genuinely unique and fun to do, and something that actually said what we do as a business, not just a gimmick bolted onto a stand. We 4x'd our lead generation at Accountex compared to the year before, and the quality of conversations it started was even better than the numbers suggest. What impressed me just as much was the team behind it. They were fantastic to work with from the first brief through to the show floor, put in a serious shift over the two days, delivered everything on time, and went the extra mile whenever we needed them to. We'd work with Arcade Strange again in a heartbeat.
