Location-based stories & experiences

Make places
worth discovering.

Turn your points of interest, stories and local knowledge into experiences people discover as they explore. Publish in Espy, launch a branded version, or build your own app from a working foundation.

A mobile discovery app. A web publishing studio. No beacons to install.

01 / From a place to an experience

Your knowledge.
Their next discovery.

01

Place it.

Add a point of interest, define its area or 3D volume, and attach the story, media or resource that belongs there.

02

Shape the experience.

Choose who can discover it and when. Add conditions for weather, time, language or proximity, and connect useful actions.

03

Let people explore.

Visitors point, look around or discover as they move. You manage the content in Espy and TS Studio.

In Espy, a location-linked content item is called a veacon.

02 / For people who know a place

A place for every kind
of local knowledge.

Tourist boards & destinations

Turn landmarks, trails and local stories into a guide visitors can explore on their own phones. Publish language-specific content and seasonal experiences from one workspace.

Events & festivals

Bring programmes, practical information and sponsor experiences to the places they belong. Add vouchers and collectibles to give visitors more reasons to explore.

Cities & public organisations

Connect civic information, cultural routes and neighbourhood stories to real locations. Organise official content so people can choose the sources they follow.

Creators & influencers

Make your local knowledge discoverable where it matters. Publish favourite places, audio stories and themed trails, and build an audience around what you know.

Agencies & experience teams

Create place-based campaigns for clients. Organise content and permissions in separate spaces, manage experiences in TS Studio, and explore branded app options.

03 / Three ways to make it yours

Start with your content.
Choose how far to take it.

01 / Publish

Use Espy

Bring your POIs, stories and audiences into the existing Espy app. Run a destination guide, event experience or creator project without commissioning a separate app.

02 / Brand

White-label Espy

Give your audience a branded app built from Espy’s working foundation. Shape its identity and feature set around your organisation or client.

Explore a branded app
03 / Build

Build a custom app

Start from Espy’s capabilities and develop the interface, features and workflows your product needs, powered by Transceiver® underneath.

Discuss a custom app

Need a branded appearance inside Espy? Brandbooks configure colours, typography and map styling for eligible accounts. A separately published white-label app is a distinct project.

Request app access to try the Espy beta. TS Studio requires a verified organisation; contact us and we’ll help you get set up for testing.

04 / Content with context

Same place.
A different moment.

A story at midday can become an evening guide. A sunny-day suggestion can give way to a covered route when it rains or a warm café when temperatures fall. Match content to temperature, cloud cover, precipitation and wind. Create the versions you want to publish; Espy presents the content whose conditions match.

Take the riverside walk.

Follow the open-air route through the old quarter.

ILLUSTRATIVE CONTENT / ONE PLACE, FOUR AUTHORED VERSIONS

Rain: Explore under cover. Discover the arcades and sheltered stops nearby.

Evening: See the quarter after dark. Explore the stories behind its illuminated landmarks.

Freezing: Step inside and warm up. Find a hot drink and a candlelit table in the sheltered café gallery.

05 / Meet the Beam

Curiosity has a direction.

Point your phone towards a place and discover what is attached to it.

Tap. Find what’s ahead.

Point towards a place and tap for the nearest result in that direction.

Double-tap. Look around.

06 / The publishing side

Run the experience

Review engagement

Give discovery a next step.

Attach a voucher, share a digital resource or let visitors collect an item as part of an experience. Use Highlights to understand which content is being seen, opened and reacted to.

Relevant by choice.

People choose the categories they follow and can mute notifications or explore on demand. Publishers use audience rules, permissions and moderation controls to manage what they share.
