PlusArt

What PlusArt does

PlusArt Limited is a UK-based, privately held full-service creative and digital marketing agency headquartered in Nottingham, operating for over 40 years (since approximately 1975). The company serves B2B clients across multiple verticals — including auction houses and property auctioneers, property developers and estate agents, hospitality and food-and-drink businesses, construction companies and surveyors, architects and facility managers, and retail/consumer brands — delivering integrated creative, digital marketing, and visual media production services under a single in-house team of 11-50 employees.

The company's product portfolio spans six service lines: Digital & Social Marketing (web design, SEO, paid media, email, content, tracking & analytics); Visual Media (studio and location photography, 4K filming, drone/aerial, CGI/VFX, scripts and voice-overs, low-latency live streaming); Creative Print (auction catalogues, brochures, publishing, bespoke packaging); Exhibitions & Events (design, branding, on-ground support, product launches); Auction Services (catalogue design, auction-day services, online bidding platform, back-office systems); and Smart Systems (data management, hosting, link-up integration). Underlying technology includes Matterport 3D scanning, advanced drone systems, 4K video production, low-latency live streaming, and proprietary online bidding and back-office software. PlusArt claims to be among the UK's first providers of online bidding technology for auctions and operates fully in-house production facilities — video/podcast studios, photographic studios, and editing suites — enabling end-to-end project delivery without third-party dependencies.

The business operates a sales-led, project-based professional services model. Revenue is generated through individual project fees, service retainers, ongoing digital marketing agreements (described as subscription/recurring), and transaction-related fees from auction services; pricing is quote-based and tailored to individual client requirements, with no publicly disclosed tiers. Distribution is direct-to-client across the UK, with both enterprise and mid-market buyers served through consultations, pitches, and project engagements. Ownership is founder/operator-controlled with no external investors, parent company, or M&A activity disclosed, and the firm is GDPR-compliant as a UK Data Controller.

Broad incumbents

• WPP plc: Global advertising and marketing services holding company with extensive UK operations; a broad incumbent offering overlapping creative, digital marketing, and media services to enterprise clients that PlusArt also targets.
• Matterport: Global 3D digital twin platform whose technology PlusArt licenses and deploys; a broader incumbent whose expansion into direct service-provider capture could disintermediate PlusArt in the UK property 3D-tour segment.
• Saatchi & Saatchi: Major UK-based creative advertising agency with full-service creative, digital, and media capabilities; a broad incumbent that competes with PlusArt for brand-led creative and digital marketing engagements.

Regional players

• Foxtons: UK London-focused estate agency that consumes large volumes of professional property photography, video, and brochures from agencies like PlusArt; representative of the regional agent customer base PlusArt serves rather than a direct competitor.

Others

• DroneDeploy: Drone mapping and aerial inspection software platform used in construction and property; an enabling technology provider whose tools increasingly overlap with PlusArt's drone photography and aerial inspection services for construction clients.

Direct peers

• BidX1: Online property auction platform active in the UK and Ireland, comparable to PlusArt's auction services offering in digitising the bidding and catalogue workflow for property auctioneers.
• Giraffe360: UK-based proptech firm offering 3D virtual tours, floor plans, and property marketing content for estate agents and developers — directly competing with PlusArt's Matterport-based 3D twin and property marketing services for the same UK real estate vertical.
• EyeSpy360: Virtual tour and 3D capture platform used extensively by UK estate agents and property marketers, overlapping directly with PlusArt's Matterport 3D digital twin offering for property showcase and remote viewing.
• iamsold: UK online property auction platform serving estate agents and auctioneers — competes with PlusArt's auction services line, particularly the online bidding platform and back-office support functions.
• The Property Marketing Company: UK-based specialist in property photography, floor plans, EPCs, and marketing collateral for estate agents — directly comparable to PlusArt's property photography and brochure services targeting the same developer and agent segments.
