Captive Media's interactive screens are a world-first. For venues, a unique, premium differentiator. For advertisers, an effective media channel at the point of sale. Since January 2014, we have been creating the world's first interactive washroom media network, which is now live across London, UK. For more information, visit www.captive-media.co.uk
Our units are 'retrofitted' above the urinal bowl, requiring only power and internet connections and no change to the existing fittings. They contain a patented heat detection system, which allows a user to play an interactive game on the screen when approached. The units are all remotely networked, allowing us to monitor usage, update games and content, and check for any issues. They are waterproof, vandal-proof to an industrial standard, and entirely self-contained.
We hope to provide differentiation and value to venues through providing a surprising, enjoyable and memorable experience for customers and clientele, and boosting loyalty, retention, and sales in turn.
Moreover, we hope to provide a valuable and unique channel for advertisers, by targeting customers when they are out and enjoying themselves with our digital place-based system, in an interruptive and unforgettable manner via advertisements and gamification of products and brands.
On this page, you'll find a full list of our Products & Services. Watch our product in action on a video, view customer and client testimonials, and browse the results of our case studies on the system's effectiveness.
