How it works

A fully managed
advertising service

D'arce Media handles every aspect of the operation. Property partners simply provide glass access and receive a share of the revenue generated.

01

Site Assessment

We identify suitable glass surfaces within your scheme — atria, entrance lobbies, anchor corridors — and produce a placement plan for your approval.

02

Installation

D'arce Media funds and manages full installation of transparent LED panels. No structural work, no capital outlay, no disruption to trading.

03

Advertising Sales

We sell advertising slots to brands and agencies. All creative content is subject to your brand standards and content approval process.

04

Revenue Share

Advertising revenue is split between D'arce Media and your property under a fixed agreement. You receive recurring income from existing glass assets.

Why partner with us

New income from
existing assets

We are introducing a format that is genuinely new to UK retail environments — transparent advertising that integrates with architecture rather than competing with it.

Zero financial exposure

D'arce Media funds the full installation, hardware, and ongoing maintenance. There is no capital expenditure required from your team at any stage.

Preserves your environment

Transparent LED panels maintain 70–85% light transmission. Natural light, sightlines, and the visual aesthetic of the space are preserved throughout.

Content aligned to your standards

All advertising content and brand placements require your prior approval. We operate within your centre guidelines, tenant considerations, and UK advertising standards.

Recurring revenue, ongoing

Once live, screens generate continuous advertising revenue shared with your property. No one-off payment — a genuine long-term income stream from glass you already own.

Our markets

Active across
the UK and internationally

Our approach is consistent across every market: premium retail environments, revenue-share partnerships, and fully managed operations. We are currently active in the UK with international expansion underway.

United Kingdom

UK Premium Retail

We are actively approaching premium shopping centres and leisure destinations across the UK to establish our first pilot installations. Our model has been designed specifically to meet the requirements of UK property groups and major REITs.

  • Targeting Tier-1 and Tier-2 shopping centres and leisure schemes
  • Fully compliant with CAP/BCAP advertising standards and UK building regulations
  • Content approval integrated into partnership agreement from day one
  • Seeking pilot partners ahead of broader network rollout
Actively seeking pilot partners

International Expansion

Beyond the UK, we are developing partnerships across high-growth international markets. Rapidly expanding retail infrastructure, strong brand advertising demand, and the near-absence of premium transparent digital formats create significant first-mover conditions.

  • Targeting premium retail and leisure destinations in priority markets
  • Significant first-mover opportunity — format largely unestablished in most markets
  • Partnerships and site assessments currently underway
