Media hub
Media and streaming platforms that scale, and keep audiences safe.
We build and support streaming apps, broadcast and radio websites, children's platforms, and membership and learning platforms. Our media work combines two things that rarely go together: national-scale reliability and genuine care for audience privacy, especially for children.
The problems we solve
- Traffic spikes that take the platform down. Live events, breaking news and big on-air moments. We design for the peak, not the average.
- Young audiences and new privacy rules. The Children’s Online Privacy Code takes effect on 10 December 2026, alongside the social media minimum age and online safety obligations. We build products that collect less, put parents in control and can show how they comply.
- Audience data spread across too many tools. Consent, subscriptions and analytics consolidated so you know what you hold and why.
- Membership and content platforms that keep getting hacked. Plugin governance, hardening, independent testing and remediation.
What we build
- Audio and video streaming apps (live and on-demand).
- Broadcast, radio station and network websites.
- Children’s and family apps, with parent-controlled accounts.
- Membership, subscription and paywall platforms.
- Event registration, ticketing and online payments.
- Publishing and content platforms with editorial workflows.
- Learning and community platforms.
- Consent, preference and age-assurance flows.
- Technology reviews and readiness assessments before major live events.
- Secure hosting, performance tuning and ongoing support.
Privacy for young audiences
- Data minimisation by default, no behavioural profiling of children.
- Parents as account holders, with clear consent and deletion.
- Age-appropriate design, privacy-protective default settings and plain-language notices.
- Careful review of every third-party SDK and analytics tool.
- COPPA by design: verifiable parental consent, parental review and deletion, and no third-party tracking of children.
- App store kids’ category requirements met before submission.
