TOPSCREENMEDIA

What TOPSCREENMEDIA does

TopscreenMedia is a Leeds, UK-based digital signage and customer-engagement technology provider founded in 2009 by former professional footballer Achille Traore. The company designs, supplies, and operates commercial-grade digital displays, interactive touch-screen kiosks, LED video walls, and outdoor advertising hardware, paired with a proprietary software platform called Offerpod that enables multi-channel marketing, vouchers, wayfinding, ticketing, and conversion tracking at the point of decision. It also runs HQ Displays, a UK corporate digital advertising network covering more than 100 head office locations, generating incremental, recurring advertising revenue on top of one-time hardware and software sales.

The company's revenue model combines hardware sales (digital menu boards, 4K screens, PCAP touch screens, LED video walls, outdoor and window displays), one-time software licences (Offerpod and signage CMS), professional services/digital strategy consulting (notably for the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan), and network advertising via HQ Displays. Distribution is sales-led through a direct enquiry-based website and enterprise field sales, supported by case-study-driven content marketing. Customers are predominantly UK enterprise and mid-market organisations across six verticals: retail and shopping centres (White Rose / Land Securities, Greggs), sports and entertainment (Leeds United, Hull Kingston Rovers, Wakefield Trinity, Doncaster Rovers, Merlin/Alton Towers), tourism and hospitality (Hotels.com, The Montcalm, Leeds Tourist Information Centre), food service (Pizza Hut), education (Leeds Metropolitan University, York University), and betting retail (Ladbrokes).

Operationally, the company is anchored at the Leeds Digital Hub (a partnership between Leeds Beckett University and The Yorkshire Post), participated in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses programme and the Santander Breakthrough Programme, and has stated international expansion plans targeting India and continued US engagement. Headcount is in the 11–50 range, and the 2015 pipeline was reported at £1.2m. No funding rounds, M&A, or institutional investors are disclosed.
