From Creative Agency to Global Platform

It started in 2006 with Harikalar, an Istanbul-based creative agency building interactive experiences for the world's biggest brands — museum installations, festival activations, AI-powered interactions across 40+ countries.

Every lesson came from the field, not a whiteboard — software that can't crash mid-event, hardware that ships worldwide, AI that delights crowds in milliseconds.

In 2023 we packaged it into Activation King — giving event professionals the tools we built for Fortune 500 brands, ready out of the box.

What Drives Us

The principles behind every product we build and event we power.

Built by Operators

We've run thousands of events ourselves. Every feature exists because we needed it on-site — not because it looked good on a product roadmap.

Reliability First

When 500 guests are waiting, software can't crash. We obsess over stability, offline capability and graceful recovery under real pressure.

Wow as Standard

Good enough isn't enough. Every experience should make people pause, smile and share. We engineer delight into every single interaction.

Meet the King

Atilla Baybara — the creative force behind Harikalar and Activation King. Part engineer, part showman, he has built his career at the edge of what's possible — projection-mapped stages, real-time AI that reads a crowd, photo experiences that go viral before the event wraps up.

He leads a multidisciplinary team of software developers, mechatronics specialists and industrial designers across three continents. For Atilla, the measure of great technology is simple: did it make someone's day?
