Wait… This Is AR?!
How Augmented Reality Is Taking Over Events, Retail, and Marketing (Without You Even Noticing)
👋 Hey, you’ve probably used AR this week.
You just didn’t know it.
Maybe you opened your front camera on Snapchat and suddenly had glitter makeup or dog ears on. Maybe you tried on a pair of sunglasses online. Maybe you were at a music festival and saw someone taking a crazy animated selfie at a glowing screen.
That’s AR — and it’s everywhere.
But what if we told you it’s also a powerful tool for brands?
Welcome to the fun side of marketing.
🤔 So… What Is AR and XR Anyway?
AR (Augmented Reality) adds digital magic layer to the real world. Think filters, effects, or 3D elements that appear through your phone or a screen. Some popular examples are Pokemon Go or Snapchat Filters.
XR (Extended Reality) is the umbrella term — it includes AR, VR (Virtual Reality), and MR (Mixed Reality).
At Raccoonies, we specialize in fun, branded AR experiences for social platforms, live events, websites, and physical spaces.
AR is no longer just a buzzword. It’s changing how brands interact with people — in real time, in real places.
🚀 What Can AR Do for You? - We’re glad you asked.
📱 Social AR Filters
From TikTok to Snapchat, branded filters aren’t just fun — they’re shareable.
They boost engagement, UGC (user-generated content), and brand recall. Plus, have a high potential to organically go viral.
🪞 Live Events
We call these Reality Portals: interactive AR screens for festivals, concerts, brand activations, and pop-ups.
People walk up, see themselves in AR, take a pic, and share it instantly.
✨ It’s a selfie. It’s a memory. It’s your brand in every shot.
👗 Retail & Pop-Ups
With AR Mirrors, guests can virtually try on makeup, accessories, or even costumes.
It’s playful, personalized, and perfect for boosting time spent at your booth or store.
🌐 Website-Integrated AR
Add AR directly to your site: imagine letting users see your product in 3D, on themselves, or in their space — all without leaving your page.
🔥 Real-World Magic: What Brands Are Doing
We’ve brought dragons to Mexico City for HBO Max.
Let fans become pilots with Aeroméxico at a festival.

And yes, even made a raccoon mascot a celebrity. Check our work here or on out Instagram page.
💸 “Okay Cool… But How Much Does This Cost?”
We get this question all the time. Here’s the truth:
AR is scalable. You don’t need a Hollywood budget.
You can start with a simple filter for TikTok or Snap, or rent one of our AR photobooths (Mini Portals) for your next event.
And if you want to go big? We’re ready for that too.
You’re not just buying tech. You’re investing in attention, engagement, and memories.
