Platforms that put your content in front of your audience
We build software for publishers, broadcasters, creators, event organisers and entertainment brands. The work usually combines content management, subscriptions and apps that need to cope with sudden traffic spikes.
What gets in the way
- Reliance on third-party platforms leaves little control over audience data and revenue.
- Traffic arrives in sudden spikes around releases and live events, testing infrastructure.
- Publishing content across web, apps and social channels involves too many manual steps.
- Subscription churn is hard to understand without joined-up audience data.
Built with the rules in mind
Media platforms need to consider data protection law such as UK GDPR, the GDPR and CCPA, cookie and consent rules, age-appropriate design requirements and content licensing terms. We build with these in mind and work with your legal and rights advisers.
Technologies we often use
How we help in your market
The rules, platforms and buyer expectations differ by region. We design for the one you sell into.
Europe & UK
Platforms hosting user content have duties under the UK Online Safety Act and the EU Digital Services Act, broadcasters answer to Ofcom, and ad-funded sites need GDPR-compliant consent, usually through the IAB TCF. We build moderation tools, consent flows and streaming products with these obligations in the design.
United States
US media businesses handle DMCA takedown notices, COPPA where children may be watching, FCC captioning rules for online video and state privacy laws such as the CCPA. We build streaming, subscription and content management systems with rights tracking, captions and takedown workflows built in.
Canada
Canadian services fall under the CRTC and the Online Streaming Act, with expectations around discoverability of Canadian content and French-language programming. We build catalogue, recommendation and reporting features that can surface and track Canadian and French content alongside the rest of your library.

Common questions
Can your platforms cope with sudden traffic spikes?
We design for them, using content delivery networks, caching and auto-scaling infrastructure, and load-test before major events.
Can we run our own subscriptions instead of relying on other platforms?
Yes. We build subscription and entitlement systems so you own the customer relationship and the data.
Can AI help organise our content archive?
Yes. AI can transcribe, tag and summarise content so your archive becomes searchable and reusable, with editorial review where needed.
Can you build our own streaming service?
Yes. We combine established video hosting and encoding services with your own apps, access control and subscriptions, so you control the audience and revenue without building video delivery from scratch.
Can you protect video content from being shared without permission?
We use signed URLs, token-based access and, where rights holders require it, digital rights management through established providers. No method stops every determined copier, but these make unauthorised sharing much harder.
Can one CMS publish to our website, apps and other channels?
Yes. A headless CMS lets editors create content once and publish it to the website, apps and other channels, with approval workflows and scheduling.
Can you help reduce subscriber churn?
We join up engagement and billing data so you can see which behaviours come before cancellation, then support actions such as reminders, pause options and win-back offers.
Can you build ticketing or live event features?
Yes. We can add ticket sales, access codes, live streaming or pay-per-view, and fan notifications around events, integrated with your existing ticketing provider where you have one.
How do you handle age restrictions and consent?
We build age-appropriate settings, consent management and parental controls where required, designed with rules such as the UK Children's Code and cookie consent law in mind. Your legal advisers confirm the requirements for your audience.
Can you support rights and licensing restrictions by territory?
Yes. We can restrict content by country, date window or subscription tier according to your licensing terms, with the rules managed by your team rather than hard-coded.
