Say hello (or dia dhuit!) to our friendly team of experts, dedicated to making sure our customers get the best out of their in-store marketing.
Visual ID was started in Ireland in 2008 by founders Pier and David. After many years of working in the FMCG, service, and marketing areas of the grocery industry, they identified widespread issues in the management of assets and brand control when dealing with franchise businesses:
The Visual ID team went about developing a now all-encompassing, cloud-based production solution for the management of all marketing, promotional and operational materials. Head office teams now have more control over what their franchisees produce, and local franchisees can access and create all of their marketing materials efficiently and compliantly from one online application. Not only this, but from the same platform users can order their print materials, publish to social media and manage the delivery of digital signage, in-store radio and audio messaging. A one-stop shop for all content creation and publishing needs.
In 2024, Visual ID merged with the Startle group, specialists in creating unique music and technology experiences for retail and hospitality brands. This strategic move marks a significant milestone for both organisations, positioning them for enhanced offerings, broadened customer bases and increased operational support. The group team has tripled in size, our development and support teams have doubled in size, and the group is primed for a bright future of innovation.
Based from our office in Dublin, Visual ID now supplies to thousands of businesses worldwide, helping to streamline retail and hospitality businesses’ marketing efforts and create a more engaging customer experience.
