Marketing Manager
From my first interaction with Startle I have been very impressed with the understanding they have of what we're looking for. Creating a 'vibe' or environment within a space is something quite hard to explain but the support and reactivity they gave throughout the curation process was incredible.
Head of Business Development
Startle has completely transformed the way we manage our showroom environments across our different retailers. The system gives us full control over the music, tone and messaging, ensuring we can oversee exactly what is being played in each location. It’s easy to use, reliable and keeps our branding consistent across every site.
I’ve been really impressed with Startle since introducing it at Sixes. The setup process was smooth and efficient, and the team made everything easy from the start. The music creates a consistently upbeat and welcome vibe in our venues, and their support has been excellent – responsive, reliable, and a pleasure to work with!
