Participants didn’t just get a taste of the NOM app; they fully indulged in its features and offerings.
As the first-ever food community platform, everyone was eagerly anticipating the opportunity to experience NOM for themselves. This app has everything a Filipino food enthusiast could want, including high-quality content about cooking and eating, member-shared food creations, articles, recipes, and even forums for the free and safe exchange of ideas, opinions, and recipe hacks! The more you use NOM, the more it rewards you through its loyalty program, which provides incentives for creating, sharing, and purchasing within the app, as well as for referring friends. With each point you earn, you can exchange it for vouchers for GCash or Shopee, which translates to real-life money earned just by having fun with NOM!
While NOM was sufficient in keeping attendees engaged, the NOM Universe went above and beyond with larger-than-life photo opportunities, awesome interactive areas, and an unforgettable showdown featuring two of the most renowned chefs in the country.
Upon registering and downloading the NOM app, each attendee was given an event passport granting access to all areas within the NOM Universe. Attendees were able to capture memorable pictures in numerous spaces, such as a massive 3D photo wall and an Egg & Bacon installation, offering ample opportunities for creative poses. In addition, attendees received a sneak peek of what to expect in the NOM app through interactive displays, including a recipe wall that allowed scanning of QR codes to access the recipe within the app, and the FreeNOM Wall, which posed an hourly question, similar to the app’s functionality. Those who completed all activities were entered for a chance to spin the Wheel of Nom and win a prize!
The NOM app experience was further enhanced by the Shop area, showcasing appliances, kitchenware, and ingredients, mirroring the Shop tab in the NOM app, which allows users to conveniently purchase items necessary for cooking up a delicious meal. The Discover area featured live cooking stations from various restaurants, showcasing both new and crowd-favorite dishes.
