We deliver cutting-edge solutions that bring brands to life. We are Startle.
We create and manage strategic audio visual experiences that help make retail and hospitality brands unforgettable. With our effortless background music and digital signage services, the environments we help to create are not just ‘good enough’ - they are part of the brand-building strategy and have real operational impact.
By understanding the power of physical space and removing outdated systems and processes, we create carefully curated atmospheres. Essentially, "your brand, amplified".
And the backbone of it all? Our award-winning Relentless Support™, providing industry-leading service and support.
The year is 2015 - retail and hospitality customers are experiencing poor service and little innovation from their background music providers. Some even still use CDs for updates (remember those?). Enter: Startle.
The Startle team set out to create the best background music product on the market - an easy-to-use, cutting-edge platform, ready to support large enterprise clients with complex requirements. And the music? It should be much more than background, or even just ‘on brand’. It should help build it.
We quickly started working with some incredible brands, including some of our longest standing customers like Greene King, and we began expanding internationally in 2016.
Since then, we’ve never stopped evolving. We’ve launched innovative music products like Ultimate DJ, Rock and Roll Bingo and branded radio stations, as well as game changing digital signage, sports promotion and atmosphere monitoring.
More and more brands are caring deeply about the experiences customers are having in their venues than ever before, and rightly so.
Retail and hospitality spaces are not just spaces anymore - they’re huge opportunities to help build a brand, connect with customers and create memorable experiences. That’s our goal.
At Startle, we are committed to setting the standard of excellence in every facet of our work. Exceptionalism means pushing beyond industry norms and continuously exceeding expectations - for our clients, our team, and ourselves. We believe in delivering remarkable service and innovative solutions that raise the bar, with each interaction and product reflecting our dedication to quality and integrity.
Efficiency at Startle isn’t just about doing things quickly; it’s about doing them intelligently, resourcefully, and sustainably. We streamline every process, refine every system, and focus on what truly matters to build value and agility into our operations. Our clients benefit from a responsive, adaptable team whose priority is delivering outstanding results without compromise.
