Frequently asked questions.

Which sectors does Startle provide background music and digital signage for?

Startle works with multi-site brands across retail and hospitality, including restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs, hotels, gyms, fashion retail, grocery, health and beauty, department stores, home and garden, car dealerships, charity shops, and competitive socialising venues.

Does Startle work with large multi-site groups as well as smaller operators?

Yes. Startle is built for multi-site brands, from groups with five locations to those with hundreds. The Studio platform gives head office centralised control across every site, regardless of estate size.

Is Startle's service different for each sector?

Yes. Each sector gets a tailored music direction curated by musicologists, matched to the brand and the typical customer profile for that environment. Sector-specific digital signage templates and scheduling are also available.

Can I manage music and signage for multiple sectors from one platform?

Yes. Studio is a single dashboard that manages music and digital signage across every location and sector simultaneously, with role-based permissions so head office retains full strategic control.
