Use cases

Offices and receptions

A reception says what a company does before anyone speaks. A band of light with the company’s own numbers on it says it better than a logo on the wall.

Auto Trader, Manchester

Above the car turntable in Auto Trader’s new headquarters hangs a 17.92 m halo ticker scrolling live figures from the platform: cars added since midnight, cars added in the last hour, total live listings and total views, refreshing on a rolling window. Above the social and café areas, a 21.76 m ribbon, 1.12 m tall, curves on two planes at once. Flexible LED tiles on custom frames, with the walls on DX panels. Featured in AV Magazine and an AV Awards 2026 finalist. → Read the project

The lesson from that job: tie the ticker to data the business already publishes. The halo had instant credibility with staff because the numbers were theirs.

China Mobile, Slough

A curved ticker round the whole circumference of the entrance to China Mobile’s UK headquarters: 12,000 × 96 pixels on flexible modules, fixed to steel and plasterboard and hung from the ceiling in the corner, scrolling welcomes in English, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, French and Hebrew, on a schedule that switches off at night. → Read the project

What an office ticker shows

• Markets in the morning: the indices and the shares that matter to the business, with charts.
• Headlines all day from the feeds the comms team chooses.
• Your own numbers: sales today, visitors this week, anything already published inside the business.
• A welcome by name for a visiting client, saved as a scene and loaded from a phone at the front desk.
• A background that fits the building: weather for the street outside, the brand film as a loop, or a plain colour.

The band

A 250 mm band at 1.9 mm where visitors stand close; 2.5 mm across a lobby. Straight runs sit in the ceiling line or above the glazing; halos and curves are built on a flexible band and a fabricated frame. → Indoor · Curved and halo

The PC in the comms room

A Windows PC drives the band. Reception changes the welcome from a browser on the office network; with the remote control add-on, from a phone anywhere. Outbound HTTPS only, no inbound port. → For your IT team
