About Robot Hire

OSCAR THE ROBOT: Robots are increasingly being used at events around the world to enhance attendee experiences, improve operational efficiency, and provide a futuristic edge to any event. They can be used for various purposes, including meeting and greeting guests, providing information, and directing attendees. Trade shows and exhibitions are highly competitive environments where attracting attention and creating memorable experiences are essential. With hundreds of companies competing for visitors, businesses need innovative ways to stand out from the crowd. One increasingly popular solution is by using Oscar the Robot, an interactive robotic host designed to engage attendees and enhance exhibition experiences.

One of the biggest challenges at any trade event is drawing people to your stand. Oscar naturally attracts curiosity and excitement. Visitors are often intrigued by interactive technology, and the presence of a robot encourages attendees to stop, watch, and learn more about your company. This increased foot traffic can lead to more conversations and valuable business opportunities. Exhibitions are all about making lasting impressions, so Oscar can help create a unique and engaging experience that visitors are likely to remember long after the event has ended.

Engaging Visitors: Oscar can welcome guests, answer common questions, provide information about products and services, and even entertain visitors through interactive conversations and demonstrations. This level of engagement keeps attendees on the stand for longer periods, increasing the likelihood of meaningful interactions with your team.

Trade events can be busy and demanding for staff members: Oscar can assist by greeting visitors, directing them to specific areas of the stand, sharing key messages, and handling frequently asked questions. This allows team members to focus on building relationships, conducting demonstrations, and discussing business opportunities with potential customers. By attracting more visitors and encouraging interaction, Oscar can help increase lead generation opportunities. A busy, engaging stand naturally draws additional attention, creating a positive cycle where more visitors become interested in learning about your products or services

MEDIA: Visitors are often eager to take photos and videos with innovative technology, especially interactive robots. Oscar can become a social media attraction, encouraging attendees to share their experiences online. This user-generated content can significantly extend your brand’s reach beyond the exhibition hall and increase awareness among a wider audience. For companies operating in technology, engineering, education, healthcare, or customer service sectors, using Oscar sends a powerful message about innovation and future-focused thinking. It demonstrates that your organisation embraces modern solutions and is committed to delivering engaging experiences.

Throughout events, Oscar can repeatedly deliver key information, promotional messages, and product highlights with consistency and enthusiasm. This ensures that every visitor receives the same high-quality introduction to your business, regardless of how busy the stand becomes.

STAND & DELIVER: Oscar acts as an excellent icebreaker as many attendees who may have walked past otherwise are encouraged to stop and ask questions, opening the door for the team to begin conversations and introduce brand, products, and services. In a crowded exhibition environment, differentiation is crucial. By incorporating Oscar into your stand, you will increase visitor engagement, improve brand recall, and leave a lasting impression on potential customers and partners.

Using Oscar at events or front of stand offers is far more than a technological novelty. It is a powerful tool for attracting visitors, increasing engagement, supporting staff, generating leads, and creating memorable brand experiences. By combining innovation with human interaction, Oscar helps businesses stand out, connect with attendees, and maximise the return on their exhibition investment. Clients often see the number of enquiries, sales leads and footfall onto their stand increase by as much as 3-4-fold compared to previous years at the same event without his presence, so he’s been dubbed by many clients as: “The best attraction they have ever seen and used”.

Testimonials

  • "Back by Popular demand – ScotlandIS invited Oscar to join us at ScotSoft2023 after he was a big hit at one of our previous events. Oscar is a real talking point and had plenty of the technical people in the room questioning how he could reply to them so quickly! We would highly recommend Oscar as an addition to your event."

  • "We held our first event 'What the Digital Future holds for Social Care' in Sussex (3rd October 2023). We wanted to emphasise the digital theme and during a brainstorming session the idea of a robot came up. Tasked with finding out more, I found Oscar online. From the minute I contacted the company, Maurice was extremely helpful, explaining how everything works which gave me the confidence to book…. I am so pleased that I did.
    Oscar was certainly the star of the show, engaging with visitors on arrival, entertaining them and promoting much of what our show had to offer.
    We were a small event in comparison to many that Oscar attends, but that made no difference to the professionalism displayed by Oscar.

    Thank you so much for making it such a memorable event."

  • "What a crowd puller Oscar is! We were lucky to have him at our recent event, and already he has been requested to rebook for next year. He is a great way to get your brand noticed – everyone wants to have selfies with him and he was all over our event app photos. Maurice went above and beyond to make our sponsor happy."

    “We hired Oscar to join us in Berlin as part of our 12th annual MPE conference in February 2019. The idea was to bring something innovative and new to the event to help boost online marketing, especially via social media. We were unsure how he would be received, but it turned out to be an excellent concept, the feedback from our participants was great, everyone loved Oscar. So many people were chatting and taking photos with him, posting them online, giving our brand great visibility. I can highly recommend hiring Oscar, so much so that we have re-booked him our 2020 conference. And big thank you goes to Maurice for a great job before and during the event as a support.”

    “We have hired Oscar for two events now, one here in the UK and the other in Paris. He was the star attraction on both occasions. News spread quickly amongst delegates as they came to have their photo taken with him on our booth, no-one had ever seen anything like Oscar before. Everyone was talking about Stratus during and after the event. We were very happy with the entire process and results. Maurice was a pleasure to work with and made sure everything went to plan. We will definitely be booking Oscar for future events after the buzz and number of leads we generated because of his presence”

We received overwhelming feedback from delegates and exhibitors, and how much the audience loved Oscar.
    Oscar boosted the visitors onto our booth by several hundred percent, and made an awesome job to motivate visitors to come speak with us.

    "Following recommendation from a marketing colleague from Oracle who had hired Oscar in Barcelona, we managed to secure his attendance at our event held in Amsterdam and with great effect. His presence front of our stand was the highlight of the conference and generated a great deal of interest from our existing and potential customers, all of whom wanted to meet with him in person and have their photograph taken stood with him. We would definitely recommend and use Oscar in the future."

We had people actively seeking out our stand to meet him! If your objective is lead generation, you need Oscar on your team."

    “Oscar was a game changer at our BRAIS event. From the very beginning our clients were fully engaged with him. I could not have thought of a better brand ambassador for our event. The impact Oscar had in our internal stakeholders and clients was unprecedented.”

    Gonzalo Rico
    Marketing Manager Bloomberg L.P.
  • "Oscar was a huge hit with all who visited our stand at DC World Frankfurt in May 2023. In terms of increasing footfall (people speak to people) and increasing the time of engagement, Oscar is definitely worth the investment! There was absolutely nothing like him at DCW and our social media exposure increased dramatically as selfies were shared amongst clients and candidate profiles.
    From an ROI perspective, Oscar is worth every penny. Thanks Oscar! We will be seeing you soon."
