A creative studio built on shared purpose
Based in Valletta, Malta, Mediacoop is an active member-owned cooperative founded in 1997. It strives to deliver media, communications, marketing, and training projects with a hands-on approach.
Mediacoop’s headquarters houses state-of-the-art audio-visual studios and production facilities, where most of the creative magic takes place.
The team may be small, but each member carries years of professional experience and a sense of ownership that fuels every campaign. Their shared responsibility shows up in the quality of their films, campaigns, and educational projects.
One of Mediacoop’s notable clients is the Mysterium Fidei Museum, a cultural and historical attraction at the heart of Valletta.
The co-op developed the museum’s app, featuring self-guided audio tours and digital content, which offers visitors a more immersive journey into the underground world beneath St. Catherine’s Monastery.
How a dynamic QR code for Mediacoop campaigns deliver analytics-driven outcomes
To understand how QR codes fit into the co-op’s projects, we spoke with Ruben Overend, Director of Mediacoop Ltd. He shared how QR TIGER supports their campaigns, especially their work on the Mysterium Fidei Museum App.
Can you tell us more about the company? What sets you apart from your competitors?
“We’re a team of six members, most of whom are communications, marketing, and management graduates.
We provide a complete, hands-on service — from creative concepts to script-writing, filming, production, post-production, media placements, and follow-up services across both traditional and online media.
We also offer marketing, PR, and image consultancy, as well as training sessions in media, marketing, and motivational subjects for individuals and organisations.
What really sets us apart is our cooperative spirit. We treat every client’s project as if it were our own, and every member brings their own experience and creativity to the table.
That sense of shared purpose and teamwork is what drives Mediacoop. It is how we’ve built long-lasting relationships and consistently achieved great results for our clients.”
Why did you start using QR codes?
“We began using QR codes as part of our efforts to link traditional media with digital experiences.
Initially, they served as a simple bridge to websites and videos, but the arrival of dynamic QR codes completely changed the game for us.
They allowed us to track performance, edit destinations after printing, and manage campaigns more efficiently, making them a key element of our marketing and educational projects.”
What made you decide to use that type of solution for your event or campaign?
“When developing the official Mysterium Fidei Museum App, we wanted visitors to interact with the exhibition through their own devices and discover more about the artifacts, artists, and stories.
We needed a reliable and flexible system that would let us update links even after thousands of brochures and signs were printed.
QR TIGER’s dynamic QR codes provided exactly that: a seamless, trackable, and editable solution that worked perfectly across iOS and Android platforms.”
How has QR TIGER helped your company achieve its goals?
“QR TIGER allowed us to create beautifully branded, dynamic QR codes that integrated smoothly into our printed materials.
Beyond functionality, QR TIGER’s analytics provided valuable insights — such as which devices visitors were using and when engagement was highest. These statistics help us refine app design, plan future updates, and demonstrate measurable results to our clients.
QR TIGER has become part of our creative workflow, helping us turn printed materials into living, interactive experiences that continue to perform long after launch.”
What is the most important insight you’ve learned from the campaign?
“The biggest insight we gained was how audiences genuinely respond to accessible, interactive experiences. By placing a simple QR code in front of them, we made it effortless for visitors to engage more deeply with the museum’s story.
We also realized that data is powerful. Being able to see real-time scan statistics, device types, gave us clear, actionable information to improve the user journey.
It confirmed that dynamic QR codes are not just a convenience, but a valuable analytical tool for both creative agencies and clients alike.”
Would you recommend using QR codes to other businesses?
“Absolutely. QR codes — especially dynamic ones created with QR TIGER — are an incredibly effective way to connect audiences instantly with digital content. They save costs, improve campaign flexibility, and provide measurable results.
For us at Mediacoop, QR codes have become more than a tool. They’re a core part of how we help our clients communicate smarter and reach their audiences wherever they are.”
What measurable results or ROI have you achieved since using QR TIGER?
“The introduction of QR TIGER’s dynamic QR codes has delivered measurable value across both operational efficiency and audience engagement.
For the Mysterium Fidei Museum App, the use of dynamic QR codes on printed signage and brochures generated sustained download activity at no additional advertising cost.
To date, the QR code linking to the iOS version of the app has recorded over 6,300 unique scans, while the Android QR code has exceeded 7,100 unique scans.
These results were achieved solely through on-site visitor engagement, demonstrating a strong return on investment for both Mediacoop and the client.
Additionally, the ability to update destination links after printing eliminated potential reprint costs and ensured accuracy throughout the campaign, resulting in further operational savings.”
Can you share any specific numbers or metrics that highlight how QR TIGER improved your campaign performance?
“Yes. The following metrics were captured through QR TIGER’s analytics dashboard:
- 6,300+ unique scans on the iOS app QR code
- 7,100+ unique scans on the Android app QR code
- Consistent engagement throughout the museum’s visitor flow
- Device-type breakdowns that informed app optimisation
- Scan timing and peak-usage insights that supported future planning
These analytics provided a clear picture of user behaviour and allowed us to make data-driven decisions regarding app performance and user experience improvements.”
How did QR TIGER help you reach or exceed your marketing goals, such as engagement or conversions?
“QR TIGER played a central role in enabling us to meet, and exceed, our engagement objectives for the Mysterium Fidei Museum. Our primary goal was to provide visitors with a seamless way to download the museum’s mobile application and access extended content.
The Dynamic QR codes facilitated this by offering an immediate, frictionless user journey. Visitors could scan and download the app within seconds, significantly increasing conversion rates compared to traditional web navigation methods.
Furthermore, the analytics provided by QR TIGER allowed us to:
- Assess real-time engagement
- Understand user preferences and device distribution
- Adapt and improve the digital experience based on actual usage patterns
This data-driven approach strengthened the overall campaign and enhanced the value Mediacoop delivered to the Mysterium Fidei Museum.”

The decision to use a dynamic QR code for Mediacoop’s campaign is proof that it is no longer an add-on feature; it’s a functional tool that delivers unique audience experiences and produces results grounded in data.
With the help of QR TIGER, the team turned simple posters into interactive touchpoints that continue to guide visitors, gather insights, and support long-term engagement.
For an agency whose foundation revolves around creativity with strategy, QR code technology has become more than a feature. It’s a reliable solution that makes every project smarter and more connected.
The lesson is simple. If a co-op is able to turn its static posters into a living digital guide, imagine what your next campaign could do with the same tool.
