THE INTELLIGENCE LAYER FOR PHYSICAL MEDIA

Turn idle physical space into measurable media revenue.

LiveLayer connects screens, engagement and audience data into one platform - built for venue owners, hardware partners, agencies and destination operators ready to turn footfall and activation space into a repeatable, measurable media product.

See how it works
The Gap

Experiential proves engagement. In-store proves outcomes. Nobody connects the two.

Brands spend on experiential activations measured in reach and sentiment. They spend separately on physical media measured in impressions and sales lift. The two budgets, the two teams, and the two datasets never meet. LiveLayer captures both sides of the same customer moment - on the same screen, from the same audience — closing the gap between what a brand feels and what a brand can prove.

The Format

Two revenue streams. One footprint.

A freestanding, AI-powered dual-sided 65" screen media unit.

Side A - The Experience Zone

A branded, gesture-controlled interactive experience - a penalty shootout, a reaction challenge, a quiz - built around any brand or cultural moment. The sponsor owns it entirely. Every interaction captured as first-party engagement data.

Opt in to marketing 65%. Game over CTA tap rate 83%. 10x brand recall vs traditional activations.

Side B - The Media Channel

Standard ad spots in rotation on the reverse face. Programmatic-ready or sold direct. Continuous, plannable, CPM-based revenue independent of the Side A activation.

Display ads with CTA loop. Runs independent of Side A.

LiveLayer double-sided interactive totem display

The person who just played your game is now watching your ad. That's not an impression - that's a warm audience.

The Opportunity

Decision-making in retail media hasn't kept up.

Most physical destinations have inventory. What they lack is the intelligence layer that connects it.

Footfall goes unmeasured. Screens run in isolation. Activation space gets sold on gut feel and bespoke briefs. There is no system that decides what should run, where and why - then learns from every outcome and feeds it back into the next campaign.

LiveLayer is that system. Connecting spaces, screens, audience signals and owned channels so physical retail destinations can be packaged, sold and continuously optimised as modern media networks.

From retail estates to leisure venues, universities and hardware networks - the same fragmentation, the same missing layer.

The Model

From pilot to platform.

01

Pilot

Launch fast, low-friction formats that test attention, dwell, engagement and sponsor appetite in live environments. The point is to validate product logic in real conditions - not just the creative idea.

02

Product

Turn successful pilots into repeatable media and experiential packages that can be deployed across an estate or network. Standardised formats with faster turnaround, better margins and a consistent measurement story.

03

Platform

Build an intelligence layer that connects exposure, interaction, audience signals and commercial outcomes into one operating model. The move from activation business to connected physical media infrastructure.

The Process

The LiveLayer Decision Loop

01

DISCOVER

Audit the physical and digital assets across your destination - screens, activation zones, CRM, footfall data, owned channels - and identify what's sellable.

02

MATCH

Link fragmented assets into one coherent operating model that agencies can discover, plan and buy against.

03

BUILD

Deploy sponsor-ready formats, content moments and retail media products into live environments - fast, repeatable, measurable.

04

GO LIVE

Capture dwell, engagement, footfall attribution and sponsor ROI from every activation. Replace play counts with commercial outcomes.

05

PROVE

Feed every outcome back into the next decision. Every activation makes the network smarter, every campaign improves the one that follows.

A continuous loop - not a one-off activation.

The Problem

Most estates already have the ingredients. Few have the layer that connects them.

The gap

Retail destinations, leisure venues, universities, mixed use estates and screen networks already have premium footfall, digital screens, owned channels, activation space and valuable audience attention. What they lack is the operating layer that turns those assets into a packaged, sponsor-ready retail media product - with measurement that proves it works.

The layer

LiveLayer provides the connective infrastructure - the logic, formats, audience intelligence and measurement framework that links spaces, screens and shoppers into a scalable, commercially productive media system. Built for venue owners, hardware partners and destination operators ready to move from disconnected assets to a connected media network.

The Value

Why LiveLayer

Connects fragmented assets

Bring together hoardings, screens, activation zones, loyalty channels and audience touchpoints into one coherent system that agencies can discover, plan and buy.

Turns activations into products

Deploy the same proven format across multiple locations in the time it previously took to brief a single bespoke activation.

Improves measurement

Prove commercial outcomes beyond play counts - dwell uplift, footfall attribution, engagement rates and sponsor ROI in one framework, powered by Wekount: the same verified footfall platform trusted by JCDecaux across 38 countries and 10,000+ locations. Audited, GDPR compliant and programmatic-ready.

Privacy-safe intelligence

Audience insight and measurement built to current privacy standards - GDPR-compliant, ICO-aligned, and designed for physical environments.

Shopper walking through an energy wave of connected retail signal

The future of RMN is not just more screens. It is better operating systems, cleaner measurement, privacy-safe audience intelligence and repeatable formats that work across physical and digital touchpoints.

The Case

Physical retail is becoming a media channel.

The next generation of physical media will not be defined by retail alone. It will be shaped by connected physical environments - retail, leisure, education and entertainment - that can target, measure and prove real-world outcomes with the rigour that digital brought to online media. The market window is open. Physical destinations that move now - packaging their physical assets into a coherent, agency-ready media product will define the category. Those that wait will find the intelligence layer built around them and their inventory commoditised inside someone else's network.

LiveLayer exists to help operators, estates and partners move first - from disconnected assets and one-off activations to a connected retail media system built for measurement, repeatability and commercial growth.
