Independent Digital Signage Consultancy

We start by gaining in-depth knowledge about our clients, their environments and their shoppers. This puts us in the position of being the ‘honest broker’, with our clients’ best interests at heart. With no links to any supplier, all our advice is completely impartial.

We conduct feasibility studies on an overall network or its constituent parts. This includes assessing existing in-house skills, the impact on staff or departments, and any short- or long-term outsourcing requirements.

We offer a full end-to-end service, or individual areas including those detailed to the right.
